I really cannot find enough to say about this. It felt like it had been written for me; it got past all of those silly little tropes and traits that I half-ironically describe as 'narrative kinks' and just offered me this wonderful, terrifying, uncomplicated love. (Complicated love is painful, I think, but simple love is terrifying. It all seems of a piece; there can be no qualified acceptance of it; one has to take it all at once, or none at all.) And once I'd accepted it, once I'd fallen for these characters, I couldn't turn them away when they were broken and sharp-edged and aching.

Result: I have spent the past fifteen minutes crying. Excellent.
