    THIS IS THE FIC I GOT IN TROUBLE FOR READING AT 11-YEARS-OLD IN 1996

    I’m surprised how much of this I remember. Entire passages seem to coalesce from ancient memory as I read them. Also; not surprised I remember this so well as it is godtier tender emotional hurt/comfort. Just the kind of romantic nonesense i can’t get enough of as an adult. It’s everything hurt/comfort should be (I hurt because you hurt and the only relief is your arms) and the prose is sublime (mmm, MMM!). I have remembered this fic for over twenty years. Absolute joy to find it again and also to have found something I enjoyed as a child (sorry) is even better than I remembered it. (If it makes you feel better 11-year-old me understood nothing of the sex parts I was just in it for the tenderness)

      Hahahaha don't tell me that, you could be my daughter! Though I am very flattered that it stuck with you and glad it holds up to memory! <3
