What can I say? but every line was just..... perfection! One of the very best!

Thanks to you 'that gives' and Rijane 'that takes' and the rest of us can share in the pleasure!

Truly, truly a sacred moment, captured by a master.

This is beyond gorgeous, red. There is a reverence and grace that is preserved here, and that is what makes it so special.
We begin here.
Yes, perfect.

Happy Birthday, ri.

Oh Red that was so lovely. What a wonderful gift for rijane on her birthday.
Resting my face to yours, I feel your tears and I know. This is the end of fear, the end of regret, the end of alone.

We begin here.
The whole story is just so very lovely :hearts:

I'll have a smile on my face for the rest of the evening now after reading that. ;)

seamus, Cat, "beautiful" is indeed the highest compliment. Thank you both. :rose:

dreamcatcher, how lovely! Thank you.

sbj, you're doing that "making me blush" thing again. Grace was what I was striving for - I love that you found it here.

coco,

Thanks, dc.

Re Afterglow - I'm working on it (it's only just over a week since the last update!). I need to finish both final chapters before I can post 11 so it might be a while. But it will go up as soon as possible.

This story is so bursting with imagery. I love the choice of words.
unpicked my seams
I am new. I'm a child taking the first steps of discovery. I imagined. I dreamt. But I never really believed, until now.
you strip away the cloak of regret that has protected me
hum your name against your skin, each time new and sacred. The voice of ages cries inside me, forcing tears past the silver that can no longer contain them. I don't need to turn away, not now, not ever.
Such a richness of words, of emotions in such a few words. It’s as if you were in Mick’s head.

And then the sensual careful description of their love, with „Like this“ slaying me again. It’s the ultimate counterpoint to the bathroom in Fever, intimacy, giving and accepting life, being connected on a deep level.
For the first time in this life, I hunger no more.
Wow. This is touching on every level of humanity. Everything a person could ever want has been fulfilled. The epitome of heaven.

And the last two lines kill me again.
Resting my face to yours, I feel your tears and I know. This is the end of fear, the end of regret, the end of alone.

We begin here.
This one is going to be printed out. It’s a masterpiece.

jv, thanks so much. This one's been rattling round my brain for months so it was a huge relief to finally get it down on paper.

kays, I hoped you'd like this :rose: . Just let me know the date in November and I'll see what I can do :).

francis, :blushing: :blushing: um, wow. I'm a bit lost for words at such high praise. So I'll just say thank you - thank you.

Red,

Others have said it, but it bears repeating...this is perfect. The emotion, the rhythm, the release of each to the other. Together, they banish fear. Together, they find love. What a wonderful gift you gave Ri and all of us. :rose:
