This is wonderful, breathtaking. I love the anxiety Jack feels, and the toothbrush thing, that was painfully real. I had a knot in my stomach. What a lovely ending. I think you should change your warnings, I kept expecting something awful to happen, and it isn't too angsty at all, but it isn't fluff, I think it is very emotional and moving though, so God knows how you could warn, maybe a little philosophical discourse..

Thank you for the lovely feedback!

I have poked the warnings a bit... Didn't want to aggravate any lingering angst from CoE, but then again, nothing's really as angsty as that, is it?
