It's early on, but this line: And Nino tastes something bitter at the back of his throat—like jealousy, defeat maybe, in the way that the wattage of Subaru’s smile kind of dims when he sees him. That line is amazing. It's like a tap to the back of the knees, just hard enough to make you fall. And then the rest of it keeps you crumbling.
Is it weird to say that I'm looking forward to the rest of it? Like looking forward to getting your wisdom teeth removed, maybe. It hurts to finish it all up, but it's almost more painful waiting to get it done and over with.
(Also, ahahaha, what is this lyrical comment all of a sudden? I guess good fic does that to me...)
