What a sweet ending. :) I adore this pairing and this has been a wonderful read. I like that you referenced the time period in here. They would have had a hard time for sure, but that makes their relationship more touching. Thank you for taking the time to write this!

You're very welcome! I had fun writing this; I'm just sorry it took me so long to finish it. I love this ship too - even more than Erik/Charles, I think, because it was a surprise for me.

I'm so glad you liked this! :)

That was so damn sweet. It has a very gentle, loving feel to it. Darwin's voice is great, their interactions are just wonderful. So hope you write more.

Thank you so much! I love this ship, and I really enjoy writing from Darwin's perspective - he's pretty level-headed, but thoughtful and protective. I'm glad you liked this!

OH GOD.

You have no idea how much I wanted this fic. This is wonderful and lovely (and sad) and *flails*.

(I need an Armando/Alex icon, I swear)

Oh, thank you! I'm glad you liked this. I was trying to strike a balance between reality and ideal. I wanted them to have a good time, but I couldn't completely ignore the problems they'd face.

(I got my Darwin/Alex icons from causticammo.)
