Comment or Excerpt from fic: Oh my God, where do I start? The world needs more AU fic like this. The era it's set in has been well-researched by the authors, the OCs feel like canon, and the story is just beautiful. I could gush all day. XD

At 35 chapters, it can seem a bit daunting, but once you get into it (and you will, promise), it's hard to get out. I read them all straight through in one sitting, and impatiently await the next chapter (hint to the writers if they're reading this... >_>)

Preview: He broke the kiss, blushing still, lips parted as he gasped, eyes closed. “This is wrong.” He breathed, brows knitted in confusion. “I shouldn’t…” He opened his eyes, looking at Jack. Giving in, he dragged Jack closer with a hand at the back of his neck, kissing him hungrily.

Now he knew why things had been so awkward. Why had missed Jack’s presence so much. It wasn’t just the company, it was the secret smiles, the comforting pressure of a strong body against his side, soft laughter in his ear as they lay on the roof.

And this…he didn’t know how he could miss this, he’d never had it. But oh, somehow he had.
