a leap of faith that felt like jumping out of an airplane-trusting that he had the right answer to the right question, and that come tomorrow morning, everything would still be all right.

right answer to the right question... love that part.

He wanted to grab Dom and shake him hard enough to snap him out of it. Snap them all out of it and undo it all. Make it all fucking go away.

ouch. some roads are better not traveled. i like how you explain about the bruises and scratches, and getting past it. like russian roulette. all it takes is one bad spin and it's game over.

until there's nowhere further to go, because they have both come home.

home. no place like it. no matter where in the world they may physically be, if they're together, they're home.

this was really nice. i like the way you had Billy explore their past by using Dom's body as a road map.

kerry =)

Thank you very much for you comments. It's interesting to see which lines the readers liked enough to quote them, and that thing you said about home--yeah :).

wuh-how.
beautiful. I haven't seen a "real dom n billy" in a while. This is very very nice. Do you write a lot of fic? And if so, how come I don't know you yet? :)
*runs off to snuffle through your memories*

Thank you! I got into lotrips only last fall and I haven't written a whole lot yet. But I see you already discovered what I had been doing before lotrips, lol.

*blink*
Metallica???
I never would have even THOUGHT to slash them. That's amazing. HOw did you go from \m/ to lotrps? :D

[feelforfaith]

I never would have even THOUGHT to slash them.

Hehe, they have their slashy moments ~points to icon~. Before lotrips I was a devoted one fandom girl (rock musicians RPS), but then one fine day last fall I watched LOTR, and once I started reading lotrips after that, there was no turning back :D.

The best way to wake up, Billy discovered the next morning, was with a naked Dom snoring into his hair.

I absolutely love that line.

The things he is fond of these days are not as thrilling, but they seduce him with their familiarity. He puts his hands on Dom's chest and watches it rise and fall, rise and fall, rise and fall.

And I love those two as well.

And then there's the entire final section... I can't highlight it all but I can't pick just one or two lines either, it's just so perfect.

I adore this story, I think it is quite exceptionally beautiful. I love the simplicity of it, the way you've woven sadness and joy together to create something that captures the ups and downs of a relationship in such a perfect way. I actually read it when you first posted it but I wasn't in the frame of mind to express how much I liked it then, so instead I just kept coming back and rereading it again as every time I did, it made me feel just that little bit happier - thank you for that. :)

You not only made me blush, but you made me figgin' happy with your comments :D. Thank you.

Ahhh, I really liked this a lot. The road map idea is one that's been used before, but you've given it a fresh look and this is both original and lovely. Thank you so much!

[feelforfaith]

Thank you. I'm very glad you liked it :).
