Reccer's comments: This really captures both the beauty of long-standing love and the pathos of being near the end of life. The emotions and imagery are immediate and visceral, and the structure is great as well; the way this flips back and forth between their youth and old age only makes it more affecting.  It's lovely and heartbreaking work, and one of my favorite Retirementlock fics.
