This was incredible. So beautifully done, with enough yearning to make hozier jealous. I truly don’t even know where to start. This has everything I love: banter, yearning, competence, and poetry. The pacing was perfect to give you the splices of dense and albeit confusing settings and sequences in easily managed pieces where I felt I could easily keep going or take a break to digest. If you’re ok with feeling confused all the time for the sake of the characters development then this is for you.
