This was absolutely the perfect ending! Bittersweet and meaningful. I really loved every aspect...I'm actually left speechless!

Like you said in the author's notes, I like to think that kissing is a "zomg, big" thing. Which is why I think that the structure of that last bit is really, really fantastic. Like a big, fat, sad, beautiful punch in the gut.

Thank you so much for this! I totally love it. And it's quite a brilliant "first stab" at writing season one fic, if I do say so myself.
