What a beautiful chapter! I do hope you write more to this.

Thank you! More is planned; hopefully it won't take so long for me to update next time (I'm something of a perfectionist with fic, though; that's the problem!)

This is the type of angst I love. Personal turmoil, that doesn't cause the characters to push each other away, but instead draws them closer.

I don't think anything could pull these two apart, y'know; if even their being in two different universes hasn't managed it, what could?
