I love this so much! It's so rare I see a story about D'Argo & Chiana, and this is so well written and insightful (as usual!) it's just pure pleasure to read. Which I've done twice. I especially like that he is more aware of his own faults and mistakes than he can admit to the others - or even to himself, really - which makes me feel so much more sympathy for him. He *is* young, as you (and Zhaan ;) point out, but that's easy to forget, with the way the others treat him and the way he presents himself to the world.

Thank you for writing and sharing it!
