Okay, so I'm very late in the game on this (and on lotrips in general).. and I almost never give feedback on anything, even stories I really enjoy. But I can't stop myself from doing so in this case.

This is an incredibly complex, layered, beautiful story you are writing. Every chapter gives me very physical reactions, and I find myself unable to stop thinking about the imagery long after I'm done.

The characters are so REAL that I truly think that this story has ruined me, as far as monaboyd and maybe any other pairing goes. Monaboyd's my 'rips OTP, and it's so chock full of material in canon that I've always preferred real life Billy and Dom. I've found myself unable to enjoy or imagine most Billy/Dom AUs.. until this story. Now, I feel I can't read any story featuring real life Billy and Dom without craving Professor!Billy and Student!Dom. Both characters have worked their way under my skin and will never leave, even after the series ends.

To be honest, I can't help but leave feedback because "The Incline of Trees" hits very close to home for me in many ways. As an academic and as someone who's experienced one particularly powerful case of forbidden attraction (though not AS an academic, thankfully).. Billy's inner turmoil consistently leaves me in actual physical pain. And there is so much attention to detail in your characterization of the college itself that I can see it and feel like I'm there. You've truly captured that utopic but also somewhat claustrophobic quality that enclosed campuses have.

I want to thank you with all my heart for putting emotions to the page (or to the screen) for which words still often fail me. Your story is very real and it consumes me. Much love!
