I just want to say how much I like you stories.
They're really wonderfully written and I hope you Know it :)

You have inspired me to write my own story - my first fic in English (I'm from Russia so I've never wrote in English before).
I wish to thank you for it and thanks again for you сreativity :)

OH, this story hurt me. I was weeping at the end...just slayed. All over the floor in peices. I think I need a second to get myself together before I give helpful feedback. *sigh*

Alright, now that I can look past the raw emotion of this peice and enjoy the beauty of it, I can say that this was AMAZING! I've got to quote a few of my favorite parts in the beginning:

“his fingers ached as he shut the door behind them, sliding a chair underneath the doorknob to bolt it against intruders. Michael's barely stifled sob made Lincoln's heart contract and in a second he was back with his brother."

I loved the glimpse into Lincoln's need and grief. His actions with Michael were terrible and thoughtless, but I couldn't hate him. He was such an accidential character here, and it made me hurt that he thought that everything he was doing was for Michael's sake rather than his own.

"Bright tears glittered on those long lashes and again Lincoln's heart twinged. Michael looked so lost and out of place in the borrowed, rumpled suit, two sizes too

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad the story worked for you. I was very worried about writing it and it means a lot to hear that it worked for people.

That was very disturbing in a very good way. I think your choice of having Lincoln’s POV first and then Michael’s was an excellent strategy, both for highlighting how upsetting it was for Michael - due to the closeness of their relationship, but also for not wholly villainizing Lincoln. If we’d known Michael’s reaction first, Lincoln’s intent would have seemed more like rationalization, but with his POV being first - and so deftly written with regard to his own youth, grief, and lack of understanding as to what he is doing to his brother - he can be understood, even for acting in a way that we learn is so very frightening to Michael. And it makes Michael’s fear of Lincoln that much more palpable because Linc isn’t a horrible cardboard bad guy, he is someone - the only one - who genuinely loves Michael. And yet, now Michael must learn to both fear and love him. And I find that a very believable motivation for a child who eventually becomes a man who is willing to sacrifice himself for his brother. It is very heartbreaking but

Thank you for reading even though the subject matter is quite dark and thank you for giving these great prompts that allowed me to write this story.
