walkingshadow said to bring a tissue when I told her I was reading
Snow, and it's not as if the story hasn't been breaking me a little bit more with every sentence, but oh my god, I'm an absolute blubbering mess right now
because JC drank the wine he knew was poisoned and didn't let Justin do it and the glasses shattering to the floor and his sadness and emptiness despite Justin, whose devotion and hope break me, too, and Chris, who wouldn't let himself believe even at the end but knows he's never done anything but just that, and it's
all broken now and I
know that's how the story goes, but that doesn't mean it hurts any less.
It's so beautiful. Every heart-breaking word of it.

This will be on my top 3 of her story, with my most favourite is Honor's Bound (it's weird to do American spelling), just cos... yea. Second is the gambling trilogy, and third will be this. She defines TrickC man.

Honor Bound! I lived and breathed by that story for a week after I read it. Loved every bit of it. And you're absolutely right about Amber defining TrickC. It's like Sandy and Lambs.
