See, I spent ages not reading HSM, because I was worried it would all be juvenile angst and OOC schmoop. Then I stumbled on paperclipbitch's The Other Side of You while reading her Torchwood stories, and all of a sudden I realized there were good authors writing HSM. So you see, when I find a really wonderful Chad/Ryan story, I'm still a little surprised and incredibly delighted. Yours is lovely and deserves to be pimped all over the place.
