That is certainly the fullest nothing happens I've ever read! The build-up, the setting, the mood at the pool — partly with the party but not at all, really — and that look!

I've just been transported back to the whole wonderful feeling I had when I immersed myself in your series and read cover to cover, so to speak. It was the first I'd read of them shiped, and it's still my favourite version of their relationship.

Lovely! Thank you!

I'm so very pleased that you like it! It is really good to hear that this piece works for you both as itself and as part of the series!

I had been a while since I last wrote these two, although they are always close to my heart.

....even while no feelings are being openly expressed. Findekáno and Maitimo are balancing on a knife point, knowing that the other is there, yearning I think for each other. But the situation they are in precludes actual contact. Heartbreaking. 💔

Thank you very much, wisteria! They are yearning for each other in slightly different ways: Maitimo knowing all that he yearns for, but believing that he cannot have it, Findekano with less understanding of what it is that he wants and more  anxiety about the Maitimo's state of mind, because of what they went through after the rescue, before their separation. I am glad that the strength of the feeling comes through!
