Perfect contrast to the violent start. This fic has such an emotional depth as I rarely ever saw in fiction altogether. England holding in his tears, the first kiss of the day from Wales, all three brothers' sleeping habits, and most of all the tranquility of mood that this story achieved together with England's own thoughts make this story really exceptional.

Loves them, somehow, for slitting open his armour so well and letting him. He could think more clearly if he could breathe. Perhaps it's for the best.

- that really got me.
