Why this must be read:
Ah, this is one of those stories where nothing happens to bring them together: no external threat, no sudden revelation in the face of danger, no loss-induced introspection. Just the two of them, aware of their love, willing to go further, and taking the decision to do it. During a camping trip. =D
The slow pace of this is what really got me; there is no rush, no desperation, only trust, tenderness, certainty and love. They both know where are they going, they know they are already going, so... why run?
The writing is perfect, soothing and warm and beautiful.
Want to see what I'm talking about? Here, take a look
Blair didn't look up as Jim made his way back into the circle of light. He'd heard his friend coming up the path, and his heart had sped at the sound. His breathing was...a little fast. Not quite even. Perched on his sleeping bag, back against the log he'd used as a stool earlier, Blair let the heat of the fire and the glow of its light wrap him in comfort and calm. This was important...sacred...and for his own sake as well as Jim's, he needed his mind clear.
On his way past their tent, Jim snagged a soft, woolen blanket from his bed roll. Standing beside his partner, blue eyes locked with blue, he offered it wordlessly. The small, strange smile that curved his lips fell on Blair like a silent benediction.
"Thanks," Blair said quietly. Then -- deep, fortifying breath -- "Join me?"
Jim let out a small breath of his own, a puff of white mist flaring from his lips. "Sure there's room?"
"We'll manage," Blair said, casual, nonchalant.
So, go to read Storms of Winter and after that, let Merry know what did you think :D
