Why this must be read: It's a wonderful story. RileyC writes extraordinary AUs, and AWESOME canon and this fic is just heartbreaking and at the same time wonderfully comforting. We're at the end of season 5 ("Impotence"); Toby sacrificed everything to see Keller again and the story starts here; Keller's back from the courtroom and... But instead of the very (too) short scene Tom Fontana gave us, RileyC writes an awesome fic, exploring Keller's mind, his sadness, his despair, his longing and showing us what happens *after* the kiss -what we weren't given to see and it's exactly what I imagine. And the writing is perfect.
And it didn't matter that he had rehearsed this moment so many times in his head, planned what he was going to say -- no amount of preparation would have been enough, and there *were* no words that needed to be said. For a long moment Chris just looked at him, recommitting every feature to memory and feeling a profound joy in that. There had been so many nights, here and away at Cedar Junction, that he had lain awake at night trying to recall Toby’s face, so afraid he was going to forget what he looked like. He needed to see Toby smile, though; too often he remembered him looking sad and wounded. He loved Toby's smile, the way it lit up his whole face and made you feel like you were watching the sun come out after a cold, rainy day.
Aaaah! My little heart clenches every time I read this and I'm sure yours will too! So go! Read!
