Sorry to butt in unannounced (but I don't have an lj so I can't say this on the Safehouse because you can't post as anonymous there, which is a ridiculously longwinded run-up just to say:)thank you so much for the stages-of-love story, it's a perfect gem and I love it (especially the way you have them talk to each other, all sarky and light-the-blue-touchpaper because it's so important).
hugs,
