leethetTime for another T recs.
You want a lesson in "show, don't tell"?
You want a portrait of devotion?
Read "Refuge" by Nataliya. File 40.
It's all there, and not one wordof it is spelled out. It's all in the texture, in the feel, in the inevitable actions of our guys.
This is one of those "transcends gen/slash boundaries" stories. It's just love.
It's just wonderful.

It takes confidence in both your writing skill and your handle on the characters to do that, and if I ever succeed the way you did in "Refuge," I'll be damn' proud of myself.
