I'm not familiar with this fandom at all, but I really like this. For me, the ending is a happy one, as well as a thought-provoking one. Having grown up in a family where a lot of infidelity went on, it's helpful to read something that addresses these kinds of themes. My personal experience is that good people can screw up too, that infidelity can happen in essentially good relationships, and that confession can occasionally (though by no means always!) be a form of selfishness and a way of passing on the pain. I don't have any easy answers, so it's a relief to read a story that doesn't pretend easy answers exist. Thank you.
