Why this must be read:

Inspired by a gorgeous piece of fanart (visible at the head of the entry), this story is set at what may be the last possible moment when things could have played out differently: the showdown at the portal. All it might have taken is a split second in which long dormant feelings could revive...

When he wants to be, the sys admin is extraordinarily gentle. And Kevin marvels at every second of it, reaching up to touch Clu’s face as softly as he dares.

“Missed you,” he whispers, blue eyes bright with regret and thinly veiled pain.

Clu tilts his head slightly, then slants their lips together again, the sensation closer to a benediction than a kiss.

“Yeah,” he murmurs, reaching up to drag careful fingers through his User’s hair. “Me too.”

They sure as hell might not be perfect, but they’re doing the best they can with the time they have. And that’s all Kevin could ask for.
