I saw the_red_shoes's mention of this story & The Aphanes in her lj this morning. I was just going to go and look a little and then I gave my whole day to them. I barely know what to say. I don't know why I never read them before. Your writing feels very dangerous, or it makes me feel very dangerous, as it makes me think, I understand perfectly about a lot of things, when I don't really, probably.
The part about sex being scandalous - it really is. That was so well-put. And everything about wanting and not wanting, and from earlier in the story, Joel's whole thing about being ashamed of gestures, ashamed of comfort, shame and kindness. This is all so good.
