Oh my GOD ANON, this is SO FUCKING GORGEOUS. I didn't expect my humble prompt to be filled at all, and I come back after a few months to see that holy shit, there's a GORGEOUS FILL RIGHT THERE JUST WAITING ARGH. Thank you SO MUCH! This is so melancholy, lovely, and so very well-written. I love your Leo so much! His curiosity, his thought processes, ALL THE THINGS HE WORRIES ABOUT, and then being so solidly aware of what his choices and reactions might mean or affect but doing them anyway. LOVE how Bayek seems like just this uninterested distant phantom at first who becomes more and more real, and how his presence inspires so many mixed feelings in Leonardo.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for such a lovely fill! You've made this anon so fucking happy.
