Gorgeous fic. I have a very soft spot for these types of intense relationships written in gen fic and this was a dream, a real gem.

I love the situations you've used, fitting beautifully into canon. I love the balance you've drawn between humour and drama that reflects the show so well. The language, again, it just felt so real, I could hear these individual voices perfectly, you have some great dialogue here too and for me it's all wonderfully in character, giving the whole fic a tangible basis in reality. The instinctive care and depth of love these men have for each other is what draws me to the show and I adored reading this.

Tthank you so much for sharing it here on L/J! :))

This story leaves me feeling all warm and fuzzy in my heart. I saw it a few days ago on AO3 already, and I really love your Athos voice - he's so tricky to get right, and I think you managed to develop his character even in these short scenes. It's nice to see the dynamics between Aramis and Athos get a bit of attention for once. Normally it's more about Aramis and Porthos (granted, they're a lot easier in that regard), but there clearly is a lot to show with that combination, too.

I am so happy to get such a well-done fic to read. Thank you for writing and sharing!
