This is the second or maybe the third time I've read this story. I especially like the way Xander and Clint *aren't* sleeping together.

It's interesting and different to have them simply be strong friends. I'm having so much fun watching everyone around them being So Sure that the two men MUST be screwing, just because they are close.

I like thinking about them being lifelong friends, going out to pick up girls (and/or guys), rescuing each other, adventuring together. Most especially, covering each others' backs. Decades down the road, they'll still be friends.

They like each other. It's a delight.

Author's Response: it's the epic bromance. though a few times they just say 'well, he's all the way out there and i'm not so it'd never work' to get people off their backs. but yeah, i can see them saving each other from insane ex's and problems for decades to come. i'm glad you liked it so much.
