 PiratePocky 12/30/08 . chapter 5 Wow. That's all I feel I can say right now. Wow.
This fic is so amazingly well written and thought out, and it has a beautiful story-line. I've seen quite a few BenxRiley fics out there, but they're all usually short, fluffy pieces with little plot and no real reason for either to have fallen in love with each other. They also usually completely ignore Abby, while you've managed to portray this feeling between the two men without turning Abigail into some random bitch or leaving her out.
The short story has also managed to make me cry, with grief at times, or with relief and happiness (which is a very good thing, seeing as I don't usually cry while reading). You've managed to portray the characters as real people, and keep their original personalities, while putting them in such an au situation. I like how much of Riley's past we get to see, and how in-depth you are into their personalities. And that kiss scene! It was so amazingly portrayed, and all the feeling there was magnificent. It wasn't some random raunchy gay scene, either, which most people would have skipped to.
...Hmm, what else...
Oh, I'd like to note how happy I am that there were minimal grammatical/spelling mistakes. That's another thing abundant in many Briley fics. Anyways, kudos to a job well done! I'm off to go read the epilogue, and I don't think I'll be disappointed.
