Oh, wow - this is just lovely. This just became my favorite character study of Myka ever. And you're SO spot-on for where these two characters are with each other in S2. You just really dig into both of them - who they are and what draws them to each other. I would quote some of my favorite lines but I'd end up quoting half the piece. Well, ok, I have to mention this because it's the start of such a beautiful build of the tension in a wonderfully described kiss:

All the same, H.G.’s hand is soft when it daringly sweeps a curl behind Myka’s ear, and her smile is somewhat sheepish when that same hand skids along Myka’s cheek a second later, thumb catching against her cheekbone. Her eyes sparkle, half-lidded, lip between her teeth as she waits, the way she always does when she moves in just a fraction of an inch too close. Giving Myka that last-ditch chance to reel away.

This: "What she didn't know, until right this moment, is how wonderful it feels to be stolen." is so sweet.

This whole fic: beautifully poetic.
