Looove this! I'm so glad you decided to write something for these two because you always do such amazing justice to this pairing.
I love the tension you build up throughout the story, it makes the pay off at the end all the more intense (and smoookin lol).
I particularly loved this line too -

Sin is not so big a worry when you know you'll never die.

The way you tied all of Richard's backstory into this was just perfect really.
Yay!
