Beautiful imagery. I felt like I was there. I particularly enjoyed the description of the "too-thin ridges of the boy's back"... a wealth of meaning is conveyed in the plaintiveness of your phrases. I enjoyed this narrative very much, and I felt that it was masterfully written. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it.

Daaaaaw. Boys. I feel all warm and squishy inside now.

I will admit the part where Mattias said the house settling sounded like guns made my heart break a little bit. D: OH BABY. Vasz will fix it. He fixes everything. :D

[darthneko]

They are total warm and squishy woobs! =D

(and if Vasz can't fix it then just you wait until your other papa gets on the scene. One Big Squishy Puppy Pile.)

I'm reaching implosion levels of needing to Nest, partially because my nest is a DISASTER. Nanowrimo + cleaning = FAIL. Cleaning was the part that gave. x_x

I apparently have the maternal instincts of another species - all I really want is a kitten. Baby humans I'm afraid I simply do not understand (either in their entirety, or the appeal of same.)

Sad and sweet, hope out of fear. Well done. I particularly love the part where he is singing to the boy. Good job -- good luck!

[darthneko]

Thank you very much! ^_^

You really have an amazing way with words, you draw the reading into the story and I can picture it as I read. Wonderful job!

[darthneko]

Thank you!
