Fic: Before I Turn Into Gold (PG-13)

[obstinatrix]

This is, technically, the final part of the arc begun with After My Own Heart and Cutting Diamonds. Those, however, are predominantly Pinto from Leonard's point of view, whereas this fic is overwhelmingly about Leonard, and more specifically, about Leonard's feelings for Bill. As such, if you've read the other two stories, you may want to read this

Thank you, hon.

I HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES. I HAVE TEARS IN MY *EYES*

This was perhaps so much MORE fufilling in the fact that Leonard and Bill admitting everything and there is happy more than Len urging the Pinto beast on.

OMG *mems*

(in other words - ITS GREAT AND WELL WRITTEN AND I MAY BE STUCK IN CAPSLOCK)

[obstinatrix]

Thank you so much. I'm really really pleased that you liked it. Sorry I made you cry. :)

Oh my god, you broke me. This is... resplendent! It's wonderful and made me melt!

[obstinatrix]

Wow, 'resplendent'? What a word. Thank you. :)

[krzcowzgomoo]

Ah, yes. Quite a fine word. For quite a fine work of 'fiction'. ('Cause really, this needs to be real...)

This really is beautiful. I normally don't like 2nd POV but when it works, it works. Just lovely.

[obstinatrix]

Thank you. For some reason the 2nd person kept imposing itself on the text when I was trying to write in 3rd person, so I just went with it. :)

Oh God, I'd been hoping for these two to get their happy ending since I read the first in this trilogy. Well done... very well done. I always love your fic.

[obstinatrix]

I had to write a happy ending for them, really; I just had to. Thank you so much for your kind words about it. :)
