Man, this is just stunning! ♥ Before reading this, I never realized how many post-deposition fics sort of go down the 'tension for the first quarter, angry and urgent and desperate sex for the rest' route, and while I adore those fics (PORN!), your slow pacing is just as gorgeous and satisfying. So organic and realistic, and your characterization of Eduardo is so lovely; he really does strike me as someone who prefers casual and low-key, intimacy and warmth, and I think this whole fic is wonderful for following that same path of (again) realism, because in reality, rebuilding after a wreckage is never easy, or smooth, or fast, and I love that you gave them all that time. :') I did a literal *chinhands* when they made out, I just. ;_____; AT LAST. AND THEY WANT TO DO IT ALWAYS. UGH, OF COURSE THEY DO. ♥♥

Just, this is perfect, really. Not a hyperbole, I mean it! You outlined why I find these two so compatible, that they had just been too young and heated to dwell on it and be rational about it, and you let them grow up and think and want and go for it. ♥ Also, Chris and Dustin! I never really thought about how damaged they must have been by the split, the awkwardness that must have stemmed from it, and that little OT4 B-Plot was just really sweet. Everyone looking out for each other and wanting to ensure things went right for round two, because they still feel the sting of what it feels like to lose it all and now every step is so fragile and important, and bah. The best. This is the best. ♥ Wonderful work, and I apologize for the incoherent rambling!
