This story actually pissed me off. After reading it I had to face the fact that such a lovely gem was out there for FREE while I was busy paying for crap not even half as good or well edited. ::sigh:: 
 ETA: I would effing love to get a re-telling of this story (or a sequel - even a short one) from Vance's POV. I have re-read this at least four times trying to pinpoint thru Gunnar's "eyes" when Vance started feeling something, and I've got my suspicions, but hearing it (or anything, really) in Vance's voice would be fabulous.
