I think.....I think you broke my brain because I have absolutely no words for how much I loved this. I especially loved the tie-ins among all the parts, and he fact that the 5th section was set, chronologically, before the 4th, so we all know how things turned out.

I wish I had a more coherent response for this, but I can't think straight. It was beautiful and eloquent even when it was raw. I love those two guys, and I love even more the way you've written them.

Brava.
