I can honestly say that I have NEVER fallen so completely head-over-heels for a fic before. The flow of dialogue, pacing, character development...*sigh*
I also really enjoy how you are capturing the sweet, confusing, intense times when the physical is so new--and that you haven't jumped straight into NC-17 territory with the them. (Not that I haven't enjoyed a few nights of "cut straight to NC-17, your last name isn't important", but this is developing so naturally--and really highlights the deepening emotional connection as well as the physical.)
PLUS! I used to live on Smith St. in Brooklyn. (259 Smith St. represent!) You've done a superb job capturing the vibrancy, semi-hipster-mixed-with-young families-and-lifelong "regular" Joe vibe of Carroll Gardens.
I miss it with a terrible ache sometimes. Thank you SO much for sharing this.
I want to send YOU and this fic glorious bouquets of roses!
