Oh, gods. Is this the one you were worried about? Really?? It broke me, baby, in a good way. It hurts, like a knife, because he's going to do it, of course he is, he'll do whatever Josh wants. Because he's in love, whether he admits it or not, and Josh can't see it. Josh sees what he wants, and what's willing, and plots how to get it. Which is sexy as hell, yes...unless you're the person whose heart is breaking because of it. I don't even know what to make of Eric, because I feel like he could either take what's being offered and never look closer, or will figure out that something is very wrong and bring the whole thing crashing down around them by being the one able to say 'stop' when Elijah can't. Or won't.

This fic made me think, and that is my highest compliment. I actually think this is one of the best things you've written (and no, not because it has Elijah), because you are willing to experiment, take chances, try something stylistically different, and you have given this fic deliciously complicated characters and relationships, with hints at more and darker.

Love it, babe. I mean that. Good work.
