Absolutely phenomenal coda fic where every element that should be there is and given such grace and fervor:

He puts into every touch all the things that trip him up whenever he tries to say them. I won’t let anything hurt you ever again and You didn’t deserve this and I love you.

Everything is poured out and followed by knowledge of the reality of where they both are and will be - yet instead of regret there's hope and a desperate need to keep it alive as long as possible. Perfect. You're a treasure, dear Lenore! *hugs*
