Love and sadness and so beautiful

Firstly, you have a few structural and grammatical flaws to fix up. But those aside, this is a remarkably sweet-sad story.

I loved the emotional and sexual tension that ebbs and flows between two people of different worlds -- close, yet separated by the gulf of their respective domains. Your writing style here is fecund and fluid, sensual and chased, glorious in its visualisation and its rhythms. So tender as it draws upon the heart. Love and pathos dance about one another as their bitter-sweet love endures through its seemingly endless ttrials. But hope seems to linger somewhere beyond the moment, if only... Fantastic story telling and kudos to you! *hands you a golden crystal bloom and bows* L.

This is just so sad that it makes me ache inside, but it's written in such beautiful language that I had to read it to the end, even as I winced for the two of them. The scenario is all too plausible: their mutual desire, the way Elios struggles against it and the way the situation can never be resolved because they love each other too much.

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.

A beautiful story, but I haven't read such painful angst for a long time.
