Ahhh, my heart. Ow. That was painful to read. I couldn't decide if I wanted to smile at the mental picture of a tiny Ororo climbing into Charles' lap, or cry at all this imagery of the sun setting and Ororo being so convinced that everything is going to go terribly. (and that's realistic isn't it? that reaction, to have a hard time finding the strength to have faith in the people she loves and trusts.)

I hope this isn't the end! I hope you have more. I normally don't like teenager!AUs like this, but this is just written so honestly and simply and thoughtfully that I can't help but love it all the more. I know it's close to a year since last update, but I'll wait for however long it takes! Since this is the best RoLo I've read on the Realm in a long time!
