I might not be able to give a decent comment right now, but I need to say how much I love this. There is my Peter, and there is his Nathan. And now I’ll try…

How you worked the song in is PERFECT. I would have never thought of weaving a story along the lyrics- that's such a great idea! And I'm glad you liked the song, because... it shows. You got the intention, the feeling, the despair so right!

He hadn’t really understood what Peter was giving him, the immense trust that was being put in Nathan’s hands.To me, Nathan is a man who is driven by his need for power on the one hand, but that need is constantly struggling with his love for Peter, which is the purest kind of love Nathan is capable of. And I absolutely believe that at the moment Nathan realizes what he is given- and what he is taking!- that he feels guilty but also unable to really stop. Because he wants it. And needs it. He needs Peter, his trust, his love, to keep him grounded as a human. To know that real love exists, and Nathan needs that as much as anyone ( ... )

Oh! I am so glad you like it! And so glad to see a comment at all. Yesterday LJ seemed quite deserted. I guess everyone had more exciting New Year's Eves than I did ( ... )

I´m sorry it took me so long to get back to you- short comments are no problem, but when I get thinky (and that’s what your comment made me), I need time and foremost inner calm to be able to write down what I want to express ( ... )

I understand about the comment length. Just last night I left two kind of short comments on fic by a friend of mine, and the fic really deserved something longer ... but since I'd already said most of what was on my mind when I beta read it, my brain was kind of blank. But I didn't want to *not* comment, so I left a short one and maybe tonight or this weekend I'll be in the right place to go back and leave something longer. If not, she'll at least I know I read it. I know for myself, I'd rather have a short comment than none, but I do adore the long ones ( ... )

now I had to find and listen to that song on youtube.I've had it on repeat even though I'm far from a romantic...sometimes someone will go on to burn brighter and do meaningful things,but you can only watch from a distance and must keep it that way...love it!

Yeah, I've listened to that song at least a hundred times! no_ones_sleep really did me a favor with turning me onto it.
