Aww - what a lovely fic for a birthday! It revels in life and the living of it - even at the expense of mortality.

The hand-holding echo was gorgeous. Loved the symbolism of it too. I found the little red marks where Tenpou's glasses had been extraordinarily touching. And the ending held so much promise, it made me squee.

Lots of lovely words and phrases in this too. a shriek of torn wood, hot adrenalin squirted, waiting like a living thing inside him.

So much romance, drama and humour. Was It could wait. Most things in Heaven could. an allusion to the film? Because it made me think of it and smile.
