Shakesbear, eh?

I've long been irked by the prevalence of stories about teenagers and youths, particularly in speculative fiction. There are joys and trials reserved for maturity and old age, but they are rarely depicted. Your story is a fine counterexample.

The story effectively characterized its leads with spare details about their homes and interests. The dialogue carried warmth and affection throughout. The last line is powerful and beautiful. Clearly I need to read more of your fiction!

Even love's struggles are joyful, when they resolve happily. I'm aromantic, but there are certain of my friends I've grown to love. One I've told several times. After reading your story last night, my dreams made it clear it was time to tell another. I've done so. Thank you for giving my subconscious a needed jolt.
