I like this vignette because it stands out amongst the many many All Things fics by portraying the first time as one tinged with regret and questions and uncertainty, instead of the hearts and flowers mutli-orgasmic transcendental love making that appears in most of the others (not that there isn't a special place in my heart for that stuff too). It feels more real to me because of this, and I think of all the attempts I've read to explain the missing time in the episode, this is probably the one I've chosen to absorb into my own personal canon.
It also leaves me wanting so much more, as all the best fics do. I'd love to know what happened in the minutes after the story ended, what they said to each other, if anything was resolved. But I also like that we don't get that. It's just a perfectly-preserved moment in time, and it ends with things still unsaid and unresolved. What did the rest of you think?
