I liked this lots. I have thought about this issue quiet a lot myself. On one hand, the fact that they stand up for each other like they always have is so beautiful and it is that which you pointed out - Torsten always stands by Michael's side and Michael always stands by Torsten's side.

I like how Torsten lets himself be used by Michael here, as an outlet for that frustration.

What I have an issue with is the POV switch - you are inside Torsten's head at the beginning - Torsten knows that a lot has been troubling Micha lately. But then at the end - Micha decides, it's Michael's POV.

I may have missed something, but yeah, that's how it read to me.

Despite that, however, I did like it lots. A lot of the time, I'm fairly unsure about reading people's fics about the two, since they seem to have been hijacked by the crazy fangirls at some point I missed... but yes, this is lovely. Thanks for it. :)

Thank you very much for your review! I appreciate the time you took to nitpick that POV switch because critiques like yours help me become a better writer.
