I am an admitted wings/all things flying junkie, and hence, loved this. Although I know I would have loved it even if there wasn't that lovelylovely flying metaphor because it's so wonderful all around. I love the contrast between the little hints about the end all throughout the story and then at the end -- There was no second sign of the end. There was no first sign of the end. There was just the end, because Dom (Billy) couldn’t do it anymore. -- it's abrubt, in a way, but not.

So, yes, all that's left to say is: <3.
