Just gorgeous. They are beautifully written and the tragedy that is their relationship really shines from your story. I enjoyed this very much.

Glad you enjoyed it! This has been percolating around in my head for months, so getting it out (and finding other people like it) is quite a relief!

OMG OMG!!!

My eyes are watery and my heart is aching!!! Thomas and Justine is one of my favorite Dresden OTP's, they're just so...UGH. There are no words.

"Her fingers twined with his at the news, her grip reassuring. To say that there was pride in her voice would be an insult. There was such solid belief that Thomas had to meet her eyes. “I knew you could.”

That part SLAYED me, tears welled up my eyes because I KNEW how that feels. You wrote it beautifully!!!

And this part: "“Give me a year, and we can disappear. Please.” Her hand tightened on his, and her smile was watery as she nodded. They both knew it was a lie. They both knew he would never leave Chicago willingly, not while Harry was there, but it was a little comfort, a little dream to make the hurt easier to bear.That slashed by heart to bits ( ... )

Oh wow. I'm floored that you enjoyed it so much!

I write sporadically, so I can't make any promises about whether or not I take requests (because half the time I can't fulfill them). If you want to write a request, I'll be happy to see if it pings any inspiration though.

Thank you again for the kind words. Thomas and Justine just stomp all over my heart.

This is so very sad and lyrical.

Gorgeous, as usual. I thought I was going to die of Tragic Love Squee when he said "Marry me"!! Aaugh, my heart... the pain...

More soon plz? :)

lyrangalia July 28 2010, 17:17:49 UTC

Ah, tragic love squee. How I love thee.

I'm really happy you liked it! Unfortunately I've been having some serious writer's block (hence the three months it took to pound this little thing out), so we'll have to see about 'more'.
