And, wait, nope, I'm not done, I totally need to quote this paragraph back at you, because I adore it so much:
He was in love, not delusional. But somewhere along the line he feared they had become the same thing, overlaid like the roots of two trees grown so knotted that they were all but indistinguishable, and impossible to separate without destroying them both.
Argh, yes. The tree image is another one that's mercilessly spot-on. How do you do that!
Ahem. Thank you so much for posting this. I am now going to go back and reread it a dozen times because that is seriously one of the best pieces of fic I have ever read, and I've read a lot. And I'm not even saying this because I'm unhealthily obsessed with this character. I'm saying it because you have evil, magic writing skills that I covet like whoa right now.
