sometimes I have to go back over a paragraph or a sentence several times before it really unfurls inside my brain. it's... dense. and a little difficult. but the challenge is always worth it.

I know this is a compliment, which I appreciate so much, but one day I am going to figure out what that means. I've heard it before and I'm still not sure. Thank you.

I love Charles in this, how completely at ease he is with his abilities and how to use (and as Erik observes, not use) them. he's confident and whole, and he's not above admitting to pain of the time when he was neither. that's gold.

Yes, this. I want to see when he's comfortable again in his skin after everything.

*hugs* Thank you very much.
