Holy shit. You made what was a so-so movie into something I was totally invested in. We watched the movie tonight, and then I was poking around and found this, and wow ... I love well-written, slow build slash, and this filled in all the spaces in the film and so much more. It made them all real and desperate and wanting; you perfectly caught the push/pull of the relationship, the betrayal, the understanding between them, the closeness, inexplicable though it might be. Really wonderful story. Thank you for this.
stayed up late to finish this!
