that, was heart wrenchingly sad. I could have almost cried, but I don't cry at these things. Now now my mind is telling me to quote Billy Joel.

"... but its sad, and its sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes..." from Piano Man. Very pretty piece, (in reference to your fic, not just the song)

You've captured a really sweet moment between these two. It's so sad at the end, when they retreat back into themselves and the moment is lost. I've always loved the twisted relationship between Simm!Master and 10th, the chance of companionship against their rivalry. A rare moment of comfort here.
