Oh, dear lord. This is absolutely lovely. I just. *hands* It's like Laura Ingalls Wilder! Possibly only because of the whole schoolteacher thing... BUT. I GET THAT KIND OF WONDROUS FEELING FROM IT. And your writing! It suits this era? this genre? I don't really know the term, but it suits whatever it is really well

Afff, finally started reading. It's such a Turner painting in general-- I wish there were scenes of this illustrated as sweeping paintings with little figures across landscapes. I love Brad's taciturn brand of yangness... how he erects (heh) the schoolhouse, and omg the bed he made for himself to lie in (!!), the self-imposed semi-exile ;__; and, Ray is right, you can just feel in this fic that Nate is exactly what Brad needs... socialized and urbane but in a way that makes him polite and accommodating and perceptive and thoughtful ;__;
Somehow the fact that they're out in completely landlocked Iowa but Brad's soul (and eyecolor haha) is Of the Sea is really striking, and Nate-- from marshy waterlogged Boston-- getting drenched in the rain, and that helping to bring them to that Precipice... ;_____;

Really, really fantastic. I made a totally embarrassing noise when Brad asked if Nate liked his schoolhouse.

> Suddenly Brad looks sad, his eyes going soft, so soft.
Oww. Beautifully written scene, so intense and tender at the same time!
I'm really enjoying it!

not sure why everyone is mad at Tony, it is not like he knew she was pregnant, or did he? I was unclear on that part.
