Oh god, this is really beautiful. Usually, I usually find it really hard to keep my attention on a fanvid with a slow song, but this one caught my attention and then held it spellbound. In other news, Danny needs more hugs. :(

In which Grace is sick and sometimes it takes a village... to keep Danno from driving himself crazy. Absolutely gorgeous sequel to Curving Like the Ocean Toward You. Gyzym makes me feel all the feelings, seriously, ugh, how.

In which we see things from Gracie's point of view for a while. Ohhhh, I really, really liked this.

In which everyone deals with the aftermath of 1.18. Jesus this fic. So much a starkly realistic depiction of grief--the yawning panic and helplessness, the terrible distance between the understand that a loss has occurred and the comprehension of it. Yet so much also filled brimful with compassion and forgiveness and laughter and tenderness and yes, always, always love. A supremely, almost chokingly beautiful story that is near-perfectly crafted.

In which there is a coda to 1x18. BAAAAWWWWWWWWWW. I seriously cannot get over how much I love the way Gyzym writes Danny and Rachel. Seriously, it just rings so ridiculously, hopelessly, lovingly true I don't know what to do with myself. Everything else in this ficlet was wonderful and needed, too, but that was just something more.

In which Danny magically dreams himself back into his life in Jersey and comes to realize once and for all that home really is wherever your heart lies. This was beautiful and tangled and perfect in a heart-attack-inducing kind of way. Seriously, how does a fic with this ridiculous of a premise come out with so many essential life truths and heart-rending moments of catharsis? The answer is obviously the author, who has a long history of painting domestic dynamics in miraculously realistic and somehow also movie-shiny strokes. An instant classic and essential read.
