GUH! Shelly you have THE WORST JUDGEMENT about your own writing - "it sucks", my arse!! This is gorgeous and lovely and squeeful and OMG so perfect - Roman constantly convincing himself that of course he isn't looking and of course he doesn't care and of course he's long over the little tosser but ROMAN, YOU ARE NOT, WE CAN TELL.

Seriously, SO MUCH LOVE. It's such a lovely, painful little insight and OMG how much do I love the fact that even the show gives him tall dark handsome guys?? THERE IS AN ARC THERE SOMEWHERE I KNOW IT. Even if there's not, I CAN DREAM.

And guuuuh, with the scraping of the sideburns and the murmur and YOU NEED TO WRITE AN NC-17 SEQUEL TO THIS. YES YES, YOU MUST.

I love this so much, Shelly! *draws hearts all over*
