Thanks-- I just need to leave well enough alone. I can't remember the last time I've tinkered with something so much. It's probably going to be my only story in this fandom-- I've already told you my perceptions of the community specifically, but Hugo's writing is so frigging voluminous and dense that it's really hard to find an inch of territory that hasn't been covered in canon already!--so I really wanted it to be as strong as I could make it.

It is strong and poetic and has a final feel to it. Very much in keeping with that moment in canon.

I am not sure I am inclined to read a whole bundle of AU stories for this pairing either. I think that is what I meant by my reaction of "perfect."
