I told you, SQD, this piece breaks all my fic reading rules. In general, anything that comes too close to real life- real kids, real problems, real pain, I just blow by.
Now, if it's kryptonite or time-travel, I'm there.
That said, this was compulsively readable. I was just sucked in and pulled along.
And the finish was so gentle and sweet. I gotta say, it hit me right in my hard, angst-loving heart!
So nicely done.
What's next?<g>
