Right. I meant what I said about usually being far too lazy to comment, but I was bored and poking around people's fic journals and came across this and felt some part of my brain just melt. Dear gods, this is gorgeous. Most people feel a tendency to try to make the assassin into a dark, mysterious, dangerous character (me among them), and it's wonderful to read a story where there's actual emotion, where you honestly just want everything to turn out okay because dammit, these people deserve a happy ending-- but also because they're all so human, and he's just doing his job without becoming his job, and I'm totally rambling by now. Heh. I've remembered why I don't comment a whole lot.
Oh, and I loved the way it's "the kid" and "the mother" and "he." Even when we pick up names, it's through dialogue, and it's just-- pretty. I love your style to death. Would you mind if I friended this journal?
