Fic rec: "Officer and Gentleman" part 21 (final) by kiltsandlollies (DM/BB) NC-17, AU

The whole series, all chapters and interludes and sidestories, can be found over here. It all started with 2 drabbles, in a year time grew to this huge story and now there's the final chapter.

I'm still feeling too much all at the same time after reading the final installment. There's a sense of accomplishment, of quiet, but also of pain and dark memories and scars.

This whole series is dark, with glimpses of hope. It's violent but also filled with moments of unexpected tenderness. The sex is a way of expressing need, want, claiming, love, anger and (the way I see it) a way to confirm the strong bond.

It's intense, it's no easy reading, but I got sucked in and I'm not sorry for it either.

But right now it hurts yeah.

I've got a quick question. I've never read the series, but I wanted to. I clicked on the link to see all of the chapters, interludes, character studies, etc. but I don't know where to start. I know to start with the prologue and continue with the chapters, but when should I read the interludes? the character studies? the angstbomb? the rest of the extras? Does it matter if I read those last? Would the story still work the same?

Oops, sorry, that's a whole bunch of questions. I'd be so happy if you could help me out :D

*facepalm*

Boy do I feel stupid. I posted this before I actually opened up any of the interludes/character studies themselves. Each tells what it follows and where it goes in the story.

Sorry to be a bother!

So now you even answer your own questions...

Can you also help me out with this one: why haven't I friended you back before? *remedies*
