I love this fic. Does it make sense to say that it felt gentle and dramatic all at once? Maybe what I'm trying to say is that it left me feeling satisfied.

I know others have already quoted it, but this line is so full of awesome that I had to go back and read it several times:
“I’ve defied my father to bring you back a pretty flower. I’ve risked open war and marched myself straight into someone else’s kingdom so that you wouldn’t get your stupid self killed by warlords. I still get nervous every time I shoot a furry woodland creature in your presence because you just might burst into disappointed tears, and you think this is the point at which I choose?”
