oooohhhh. Ow. Owowow. Somehow, you've managed to capture something here that's been plaguing me for a few months. It's the fact that no matter what you do, even if you do everything right, things are gonna change and you can never quite get it back to where it was, and "Maybe I don't even want to."
This was just wonderful. Really. You made them so real and so beautifully flawed that I'm not sure if some of the pain I felt at the end wasn't just because I was sad to see the fic finished. This was intelligent, well-written, and really just made my day.
but they instinctively curl up against each other to sleep.
This, I think, was the part that hurt the most, and you never said how it made Billy feel, which is incredible.
Anyway, I've rambled and I'm sorry. Very very well done. I loved this. :)
