I'm really glad you posted this - it's beautiful and delicately heartbreaking and I want (much as usual) to superglue Arthur and Eames together because it is how they should be. I love how you wrote them.

ArthurEames is as it should be. Not even a / between them.

Thank you, love. Delicate is not something I write often (since I usually have to hit my boys around the head with the idea they love each other), and I'm glad it came off well for you. <3

This is absolutely heartbreaking, and I loved it. I feel like this is something I've been waiting to read; like, eventually it had to exist. 'Cathartic' is definitely the right word.

Thank you for writing this. And, you know. WAAAAAAH. ;____________;

WAAAAAAH INDEED. *clings*

I felt a bit of catharsis after I wrote it, no lie. Though I wonder what it says about me that I was that eager to tear Arthur down to a sobbing mess. He is human, and fic sometimes (not always, this fandom is amaaaazing) makes him more mechanical than real.

Oh, this is gorgeous. It's heartbreaking, but also a little hopeful. And both Arthur and Eames feel perfectly in character here. Lovely!

<3<3 Trixie, you have no idea how glad I am that you think so! First fics in a fandom are always the HARDEST, omg. Thank you!!

;_____; this is gorgeous. Your characterizations are so rich and feel so authentic.

[eleanor_lavish]

Thank you so much! It's hard to get people just right in 2000 words, and authentic is always what I'm hoping for! *grin*

Oh gosh, this was beautiful! It's just so heartbreaking with just the right amount of hope at the end.

"This is the gift we're given, Arthur. This is the life we have. And if you build a castle around your heart, you'll never get to have any of it, not ever. You'll lose any part of you that I might have ever liked. Every petty, silly, haughty, vain part of you that makes you uniquely Arthur."

Absolutely goregous. ♥

I do love when people pull quote something and it also happens to be my favorite part as well. <3

Thank you, and thank you some more.
