Oh, this was gorgeous! The language and depth of emotions. The underlying premise is ingenius - what if Dom had killed Echo, Topher and Ivy and gotten away with it all? Wow. *chills up my spine* Though, really, the thought of Topher dead is the only one that makes me really, truly saddened. Amazing that this same Dom turned out to be the ultimate good guy in the Attic, all self-sacrificing.
Lines I loved:
Decidedly lacking in poetry, as far as last exchanges go.
and...
For just a second, her eyes turn bright, and the composure of her expression wavers. He realizes he has no goddamn idea what to do if she cries. No need to worry, it turns out.
I loved the Boyd conversation, because it foreshadows "Getting Closer" so well. Lovely and subtle.
His stomach gives a stupid, untimely lurch at that. It’s not his place to care.
Oh, how I loved that line especially, because he would feel just a spike of jealousy, and tell himself not to care afterwards. That whole conversation, with Adelle's confession of a gentleman's company, the drinking (canon!), the touching and then the kiss. I loved their interaction so very much.
And I'm more of a R/NC-17 girl, but I love how this fic is so hot, while letting our imaginations fill in the smutty scenes. Wonderful writing there.

Basically, just mad amounts of love on this.
