Oh, boys! *hugs them*

I can't think of anything else to say, but I loved this. <3

I kind of wound up turning them into people hurting together, needing to comfort each other....Yeah, that's better than any kinda divorce <3

Thanks so much! Glad you liked this one, too.

Oh, this is so lovely and evokes such stirring images - both warm and wonderful (Charles lost to his curiosity and delight as he discovers Erik's flat and things and Erik following in behind him snapping pics - love imagining that) and bittersweet and poignant (the boys finding a commonality and comfort when comparing the scars of their pasts). I really enjoyed reading this. Gorgeous art as well!

Lovely piece. It worked very well, visually, for me. I mean, I could get a very good picture in my head of what was going on, and I think you really put the reader in the moment with them. Loved it!
