Why this must be read:

The weather becomes a main character in this sometimes melancholy, always sweet Monaboyd fic. The author uses her personal experience with winters in Hawaii and New York to paint a poignant picture of Dom's homesickness. The way Billy cheers him up is both beautiful and hot. As supporting characters, Viggo, Elijah and Evey are all recognizable yet unique. Plus, nuns. I love nuns.

There's everything you'd find at home, except it's nothing at all like you'd find at home. Trees, for instance. Ironwoods, banyans, jacarandas; trees so big you can live in them. Ripe guavas and avocados dropping right in your path. But no oaks. No pines. No holly or mistletoe that isn't plastic. Apples only in shops, and they may as well be twenty-eight karat gold for what you have to pay.
