Sionn, this is pretty much the best birthday present EVER (the first ever Mike/Prager fic!) - and I got myself an iMac, so, y'know. I was crawling with shivery goosebumps and deliciously guilty hotness as I read it. *shivers*

- Ray's father erasing the word 'lose' from his vocabulary, and the subtle hints of backstory throughout. (Ray's mother! Mike working construction! Hockey!)
- Ray's voice = perfect. I can just hear him.
- Mike Sweeney doesn't end up on his back for anyone without a goddamn fight. Damn straight.
- …there is some darkness inside him that lies dormant around everyone else but Ray Oh, Mike.
- Ray consumes things, like fire swallowing kindling and leaving nothing left but ash in his wake (…) Mike is getting tired of being the only thing Ray Prager can't destroy, the only thing in Ray's life that doesn't burn. How much do I love this image? SO MUCH! Ray as the almost preternatural all-consuming fire, and Mike not burning in the heat, but being tempered into something harder and colder.
- He opens his mouth wider,

YAY OMG I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT.

"dark mirrors reflecting each other endlessly" omg YES. THAT. That's so them in a nutshell.

I am so glaaaaaaaaaaaaaad this worked out, yay! I really liked writing it and really happy that you picked up on things that I was trying to put in there, lol. Yay!

I'm glad you liked the last line! I'M REALLY JUST GLAD YOU LIKED THE WHOLE THING OKAY. *beams*

Dude, I've not read a thing of yours that I haven't loved! Of course I loved it! ♥ There are always so many layers with your writing, and you have such an effortless way of using the perfect combination of words to realise an image/idea without being flowery/redundant.

I'm just sad that probably five people will read this because the fandom is so teeny. Then again, I shan't underestimate the pull of Sionn's writing. :D

(OMG playlist! I loooove the Bravery song!)

[inathunderstorm]

You are WAY too nice to me omg. Also that compliment about my writing just made me go like this: :D!!!!!!!!! because wow, thank you!!

LOL I think five may be pushing it. *laughs* But that is okay! You liked it! Although I do want more people in our fandom, but not necessarily just to read my stuff--I want OTHER fans to have more fanworks of all kinds as I am GREEDY. *grabbyhands at fans*

You said "shan't" LOL. Brit! *giggles*

(The playlist has a lot of "I want to fuck you but I hate you" songs. I have a lot of those, it seems? *dies*)

Hey, I found this while looking for Durham County fanfic (damn, is it ever fucking hard to find anything!?!!). Thank you *SO* much for posting this story, it is so absolutely perfect. I love how Ray's vulnerable side is exposed, the give and take between them, the power play, and never ONCE did I doubt the reality of their love and friendship. Love comes in so many shapes and colors. It isn't all hearts and puppies. And what you wrote seems to have so much more TRUTH in it than the usual cliches. It may not be pretty, but riding this particular tiger is definitely a thrill. Thanks again for sharing this. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw this thing in the two men.

[inathunderstorm]

Oh man, you are definitely not the only one! *clings* This is my favorite show and anytime I meet people who love it, it makes me all :D!!!!!!

I'm sure you found C6D_universe, which is a good place for DC fic. I'm so happy to meet other fans, this show is SO AMAZING OMG and I love it insanely a lot!!!

And thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! I have a loooooong fic about the two of them in the works and it's nice to know there are others out there that like this delightfully fucked up pairing!!
