As you say, the iddiness ids so hard that it is difficult to be constructive, but you did excellently!
May I add, to your collection of lines, the one that absolutely sent me?
Keith took into his own the hand he had scarred.
I am always, always, always here for ardent hand-holding, but also the symbolism of it! Making amends after offering an injury; being allowed to make amends after offering an injury...! Ewen's scar on his hand, like his honour and soul are now scarred! I read that line, and much like you, questioned whether I could ever do anything so elegant in a fic. (Certainly none of the ardent handholding I've written to date has come up to that mark!)
And what you say here: Keith is still unable fully to understand his feelings, but he keeps acting on them like the person much better than he thinks he is that he is. So very much so, and I love him, too.
