Why this must be read:
Today is Ciel's birthday, and as Sebastian points out at one point in the first anime, nothing good ever happens to him on his birthday. So the day seems to call for fics in which bad things do not happen to him, and in which we can see him being not merely entertained, but happy.
For certain values of happiness, that is, because this is still Kuroshitsuji.
Late at night, Ciel and Sebastian talk about the nature of prayer, of Ciel's childhood and of his time in captivity, and of the moment of their first meeting. GoodbyeMyHeart is a remarkable writer, and her work here is gorgeous, from the images to the rhythms of her sentences. "Salvation" is about as schmoopy as Kuro properly gets, but in a way consistent with the darker elements of the canon -- which is to say, the sweetness is in perfect balance with the acid, so that we, like Ciel in this story, wouldn't want it any other way.
