That was wrenching and gorgeous. I read it again over morning coffee and still hurt.

That's one of the things I love about web publishing in general, and good (well, in your case, great) fanfiction specifically -- the shared fanon/canon, immediacy of delivery, ease of reference to previous/related works and the freedom of form (drabbles, responses like the one above, etc.).

Yeah, I know what I'm writing is nothing new -- nothing particularly well-worded, even. But we've all become jaded with web content and internet communities at some point, and reading your piece reminded me why some of them are still worth it.

Thanks.
