♥ Glad you can pick up on the added detail; I often wonder if all the tweaking I do between 'draft' and 'post' would make much of a difference to anyone but me. It means a lot that you like this so much, all its capacity to wound the heart aside. Which reminds - I have not forgotten the band-aid fic I promised back in September. It's just...very slow going. ^_^; Bear with me?

Also so glad I have this icon to go with this fic. Thank you for that. ^_^♥

Thanks specifically for the comment on the opening - I wanted to make it clear (and the first draft didn't, really) that this was all Tenpou's idea, and that neither of them particularly wanted to, but Tenpou felt it in Goujun's best interest and whether or not Goujun agreed he finds it very hard to refuse his Tenpou any request, especially with the weight of logic behind it and--er. Yeah. Thank you. ^_^
