OMG! Too many thoughts! Will have to gather them and come back later.

Amazing.

I've reread the last chapter like half a dozen times now. It's just so beautiful! You did a fantastic job conveying Stiles' confusion and mixed feelings and even embarrassment. His line about it being his first time - and Derek's shattered reaction - so perfect. Derek's stoicism and his honesty at the end, his line about not telling the others what happened, that it was just for he and Stiles. <3 Poor Sheriff! I felt his relief. Stiles' guilt over not even *thinking* about the fact maybe there was someone looking for him and worrying about him was so well done. You said so much in just a few words. I had been curious about how they'd get their memories back and how the reunion would go and you just did such a great job of making it realistic while using an economy of words

Thank you! That's so lovely of you to say. I really wanted them both to work, and to feel like themselves, even though they weren't quite themselves, without their memories, so I'm really happy you thought that they did. I think the whole thing would have messed them up more than they'd be able to deal with for a while. The way they immediately relied on each other and ended up with an intimacy they'd never had (though they didn't realise that.)

I hadn't really had a go at an amnesia story before and I wanted to go all out and have them both lose their memories, and turn it into a whole adventure thing. So I'm really happy you thought it worked.

Thank you you for reading and commenting.

Oh this was absolutely wonderful. Their interactions, the descriptions, the little details. ♥

Welp, this about broke me in half. Amazing story. So well constructed. I love a grittier Stiles and you write him with an edge so perfectly, but he still keeps that sweetness that's quintessentially Stiles.

Derek without his baggage? Oh yes. All of the yes. And how he's so much more open when he's not carrying it around. Stiles and his relationship in that short time period felt very real.

I love the gentle hand you took with their coming back together as well. It was clearly messy in their own heads for the week they were apart but none of that mattered in the end. It was achingly beautiful.

Brilliant work, bb. Just brilliant.

Thank you so much, that's such an awesome compliment. It took me a while to decide what they'd be like if they didn't remember themselves, if they didn't have so much of their armour, and I was really hoping that would work, so I'm happy that you thought it did. And I'm especially happy you thought it felt real, that means a lot to me.

Thank you for reading and commenting ♥
