I know I've recced this before, elsewhere, but it came up while I was randoming at Circuit Archive over coffee, and I still like it alot... *g*

Daring the Sea by Bistokidsfan

I love that it's a story for grown-ups too - Bistokidsfan doesn't tell us anything, she shows us all the way, and although it doesn't get into complexities we know that everyone concerned is dealing with proper, grown-up situations and emotions and psyches...

Thank you for the rec! I hadn't read this. I could (and to myself will *g*) quibble about errors and typos and a bit too much telling in places that (for me) deflates the intensity, but I agree entirely that it deals with adult situations and emotions, which is wonderfully refreshing. It's real when you read it, and that's the sign of a successful story, isn't it? It also leaves you with complex emotions--there are no easy answers; there's damage here, but the lads' connection trumps all. Very nice!

Ah, but you've said it out loud to us now as well, so please do explain where you reckon it does this - always interesting to chat about fic!
