This was painful but so right. I'm glad you made it about Rayna, even if section 6 was my favourite. (I hope you write Rayna/Deacon fic in the future, I can't find any decent stuff anywhere!) I like your Deacon. I like that you gave words to his hopes and dreams. This was my favourite line: “I had a thousand and one different scenarios, but none of them were this. None of them involved us not facing it together.”
