The rush of shocked realisation, like a cool breeze, comes later as James is hesitating on the knife edge of sleep, belated because it is hardly a surprise at all that he had thought the word love and meant it.

A sort of sequel to symposium exploring the early days of James’ and Thomas’ relationship. A big ol’ pile of fluff.
I was gonna be the first one to scream about how good this is but I gotta work 😦 I know it’s great, though, even if I can’t read it right now
Okay I finally managed to sit down and read this in peace, without everyone interrupting me all the time and wow. It’s even better than I anticipated! SO SOFT, SO IN LOVE💙 I’m glad you included Miranda because I love her so much and some people tend to leave her out while writing London-era flinthamilton although she was such a big part of that too. I love how you wrote her. Also Thomas’ and James’ argument about the Bible is great, and Greek references are awesome and smut is hot so this fic really has everything 😀 Oh and you ruined me with that epilogue, congratulations!
I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!! x
that epilogue killed me to write, BUT it sets up a bonus scene and the sequel which will take place during canon and bridge the gap between sanctum and between sun and soil. (when i can gather the will to write it)
I read this yesterday and loved it so much! It’s the perfect balance between sweet and sour ❤ But the thing I loved the most was THE DANCING PART!!! Finally! I have been wanting to read a FlintHamilton dancing fic for SO long I can’t believe my dream came true in the best and sweetest way. And that “I love you” was so loaded I had to get up and pace for a bit because I felt it like a punch in my gut. So overall, beautiful work, the characters are SPOT ON and I would DEFINITELY recommend reading this to anyone. Plus I can’t even say how thankful I am that you didn’t leave Miranda out ❤
oh what lovely words thank you thank you!!! oh i’m so happy you liked it!
(miranda refused to let me not include her, even though she was only meant to be part of one fleeting scene she was too wonderful to not write more of – i think she brings a very interesting third dynamic into the boy’s relationship, a slightly more pragmatic and down to earth presence when james gets too swept up in thomas’ ideals…) x
Six men with you. They never looked my way as I stayed a considerable distance. Saw you meet two others late last night, one of them standing on just one leg.
I think one of the more interesting conversations to me was: how does someone behave when they’re dead? How does it affect your concept of time when mortality is no longer an issue? When I’m waiting for Shadow in the motel room, [we see] she’d been sitting there, waiting for him all day. I like the idea that she’s just sitting still, unblinking, and she’s not bored and has infinite patience because she has all the time in the world. – Emily Browning
