For: [info]saklani2
Title: Leavings, Fragments, Balancing

Summary: Viggo doesn't know if it's good or bad, doesn't know if it means he will want Dom less, or whether he will want him more. Tomorrow. When they go back to how they were before. Friends. Mates, as Dom says.
Notes: Merry Christmas, [info]saklani2. Title taken from Viggo's poem "Home."

I liked how subtle this story was. I liked how they just sort of progressed into that unspoken unity. Nice.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I think this is one of the best things you've ever written *fervent*

For a story that jumped straight into a sex scene, it was filled with glorious characterisation right from the start. The progression was lovely, from Dom being so nervous to him topping Viggo at the end. ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Saklani wanted a first time with a happy ending, and I'm very pleased about how it turned out. There's something about Dom + Viggo that tickles my brain the right way :).

Also, icon love ♥

this is so. good. honestly, I think your handle on Dominic is one of the best I've read in ages (not just in this fic, but here you're really shining -- his cocksure but very ragged grace is something you ran with and made beautiful here), and your Viggo is somehow unlike any I've read before.

"You want it and you fight it," he whispers. "Don't fight it. Or stop wanting it."

NICE.

They are pressed together full-length, as if they've come out of one mold.

that, too. lovely. and then there's this:

Dom struggles against Viggo's hands holding him down, against Viggo's mouth, but goes pliant when he comes, loose-limbed and open, like he has nothing more to give, because he has given Viggo everything.

which is something we've all tried to describe, right? we've all wanted to get that grabby, struggling and then pliant Dom down correctly, and you've just nailed it here. god, I loved this, I really did.

Oh, wow, thank you so much! Your comment totally made my day.

That line you picked out, you want it and you fight it, that was the line I wrote this fic around. I started with it and the image of Viggo saying it to Dom and wrote the rest of the story from there.

I do love writing Dom, with various people, because I like exploring the different dimensions of his character, but even if the Dom I write with Billy is slightly different than the Dom I write with Viggo, I hope that deep down, in the core, his character remains the same and true to my own idea of him, the way I want to see him. And when other people find it believable and in character, it makes me very happy.

The barely-there stubble prickles and wakes his skin with a promise of what he can have. Is it worse to want something and not be able to have it, or to have something once and know there won't be a second time?

very viggo, very nice.

This isn't a pairing I've read often, but I like how you convey Dom's nerves along with his determination to see this act through. I enjoyed the way you showed his confidence and growth as a participant in the coupling. I also like that you had Billy in the background, because as best friends, I like thinking they'd share these sides of themselves too.

Thank you very much for your comments. Yes, I wanted to show how things develop between them, but it's Dom's character that grows more throughout the story and I'm glad you saw it this way. I'm glad you liked the story.

Btw, didn't you have a different LJ name? :)
