I'm... undone. This is stunning. In a technical sense it's powerful because it's two utterly intense formats (future tense and second person) rolled into one piece, effectively making it impossible to stop reading once you've begun. And in a wordsmith sense it's even more powerful because it's filled with the sort of metaphors you never, ever forget.
Not to mention that it's the very sort of thing my "writing" teacher would condemn and therefore I cannot do anything but fall in love with it. *grins*

How to describe this? Writing like this is what keeps me reading. It is dense, it is layered like a quilt passed through generations of hands. The push-pull of the R/S relationship as it exists in a moment and across their lives - it is all invested and woven in this fic.
