This was a compelling, at times heart-rending and creepy, read. Even without the canon devastation that was the conclusion of "Spy In The House Of Love", this twist became devestating in a whole new way.
I really liked the way you set up this story, mostly Dominic's perspective, bookended by DeWitt's. It really worked for me.
You know how I am about Dominic and Topher, so all the little bits of how thoughts of Topher sort of clung to him afterwards, how he regretted it and yet didn't - I got flaily. In my soul.
I loved the last two scenes, the particular way you described the two of them sort of falling together, the sort of fragile way the were with each other, every little detail, like how they touched each other...god. Just, god. Perfection. Bittersweet, beauty perfection. As with them it should be ♥
