I swear I'll write a coherent review tomorrow after I get some decent sleep (jet lag sucks) but I wanted to tell you how much I adore this!! It's so perfect, especially since I just now tonight watched episode 12 (or 11? Damn, I'm sleepy...) and the emotions of that kissing scene were so strong and this fic just makes me feel that even more. I love the full-circle kind of feeling the fic has to it and the poignant narration Clare gives. It's really lovely and it's the best birthday gift I could get, with the exception of your oh-so-incredible fanart!!!

*loves you* This is the best birthday ever!!
