First, great, great story. I thoroughly enjoyed it, as well as confirming the Quentin/Dean relationship. I like that they're just taking it easy, exploring what their feelings mean. The line Quentin had, "I'm not asking you to be in love with me. I'm just asking you to...to hold hands with me, and see a movie, and maybe go out for ice cream" was perfect. I get that Quentin is completely unlike a normal teenager in a lot of ways, which colors his actions. But seeing a character that's become so grounded and thoughtful not professing undying love at the drop of a hat, but rather just saying something honest and open...That was really, really great.
Also, as many others have said, Raj draping himself over Quentin in a "MY Daoine Sidhe" sort of way was magically delicious. I like that Raj has grown enough since we first met him to feel comfortable telling Tybalt to bugger off when he feels strongly about a subject. Nice to see Toby rubbing off on him.
Second, you've once again managed to drive my wife nuts, only with a double helping this time. She thoroughly despises this time of year, as well as the time around March/April. For some strange reason, I can't stop talking about your books for about a month when those times roll around...Weird, huh? Hopefully, once I convert her to the Tao of Toby and the Path of Price, she'll stop being grumpy and start being excited like a reasonable person.
Well, You've Done It Again...
