A GSF that's not a PWP. Not that it isn't hot, because it is, but it makes you wait for it, and it's not the focus of the story. Instead it's about the possibility of loss and the reaction to it that shifts and tightens their dynamic.

Yes! It really is wonderful, there are moments that make me ache but the overall feel to it is hopeful? Joyful, maybe, with them coming together.
Your icon is gorgeous, btw. I love the lights and the silohettes.

Exactly. It's horrifying and shuddery, but that's overshadowed by their reconnection and the love, love, love.

Thank you! Even though I didn't do more than crop a really beautiful photo, and don't really deserve any credit for it. :-p But I'm really fond of it too.
