Regulus tries to grip the floor, but the stone slips under his fingers. The ground is wet under him.

Oh, *ouch*! This is wonderful-hurty and wonderful. The way you've written Regulus here really works for me, with the different vignettes used to convey his desperate desire to belong and be taken seriously. Beautiful work!

This is just fantastic, so well-drawn, so amazing. The last scene is powerful, quiet, and affecting.

I really adore this. Fantastic! What a terrific story, and I absolutely love the feelings of camaraderie--and abandonment--that you evoke. I love the bittersweet longing for companionship. Wonderful.

Off to rec.

Great job! Your painfully close attention to detail in those first torturous dates had me hooked instantly! Then the sad, desperate longing was done with such touching loveliness that it broke my heart! Very impressive!
