Oh, thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. *g*

Nicely done. Very intense and natural. I like the fact that they just made things worse for themselves; there's a certain nobility in that sacrifice.

[kageygirl]

Thank you! Yeah, sometimes, you just have to do the things you know you really, really shouldn't do.

[twisted_vergule]

Wah!
*weeps copiously*

[kageygirl]

Sorry! I have such S2 fears. ::hugs::

[fenris_wolf0]

That was beautiful and beautifully worded too. But the romantic in me is heartbroken.

Thank you for sharing... *sniffles*

[kageygirl]

Thank you. I actually feel bad, for I too am a romantic, and I want them to be all happy, dangit.

Beautiful and sad. Lovely in a melancholy way.

(I hope you don't mind that in my head something comes along to fix it and they do live happily ever after. Because I am an awful sap and do not like unhappy endings.)

[kageygirl]

Thank you.

(Are you kidding me? I want them to live happily ever after. I want it fixed. I want to be desperately wrong, and I want S2 to make me happy and bouncy and squeeful.)

[sor_bet]

Are you me???!??!? Because right now I'm running through possibilties in my head to make it all come out all right. :-)

It really was beautiful, but wow, sad, too.
