Oh. Wow. I read this several days ago and didn't want to leave the quick-and-dirty "OMG so awesome" style feedback because you always leave such awesome FB for me. Although, first of all, let me say: OMG so awesome.
Your writing is beautiful. So clear and precise and clever (without being so smart that the narrator voice overwhelms the story), and so full of feeling and pain. You know how to do that thing where you let the emotion of the story sit between the words, because the words are so carefully and perfectly chosen.
And the way you write Chris - oh, yes. I love how you get across his toughness and fragility all together, and you do the same with Justin, and how it's clearly wrong from every angle, except it looks like Justin can't see it.
And, yes. Wow. This was a hard fic to read, but it's just wonderful. Thank you for sharing it.
