This was such a lovingly crafted story. There was all this intense emotion, but you handled it in such an understated way (Up until the last chapter when there were "I love yous" flying around (^_^).

There were so many rich details and the characters were believable. It felt like an episode of the show, but with romance and really well-written sex. :)

It was so easy to believe that these two cared for each other and that somehow that meant they'd have all this secrets piling up every place.

Thanks for this awesome read! I friended you and hope that's not a problem.

this just resonated so much... and the initial ambiguity and tension through the stilted conversation and underlying bleakness that all built up to them finally communicating was so well done... and this line just about broke my heart--he wasn't ever going to make his father's mistake and fall in love like this and have so fucking much to lose.--so much beautifully written conflict... thanks so much for the brilliant read...

This is just gorgeous.

Nice hook with the water that should have been cold but wasn't.

"lying without a word being spoken, willing to share his body but never his secrets."

Killer phrasing. Off to read the next part.
