Whenever I'm writing, and find myself stuck -- looking for some thread of sense or poetics or anything, really, to make it sound better than a third grade essay, I come read your story. This, coupled with the first one, give me great inspiration.

Your writing is beautiful. Abstract yet grounded; you tell a story through emotions, not facts, though they find their way in there. Your characters grow. There's intellegence, there, coupled with a great story. I really have enjoyed reading both this and the one before it, and am sad I won't be seeing updates for this fic when I go to check for fic updates every morning.

You lended us something deeper, something to contemplate. A new view of the brothers. Thank you.
