I tend to see both Miguel and Ryan as emotionally needy guys who have to be players to protect themselves. What? So maybe I'm romanticizing them hopelessly, but I'm okay with that. The fact that you had them end up together makes me happy.
If I had to pick an OTP for O'Reily, I'd probably pick Murphy, but that wouldn't work in a canon(ish) story, so Alvarez is a good choice.
I loved the slow build of this. You convey the lushness of Miguel's stories without giving a lot of details that might make them read more like O'Reily's stories. And the jump at the end makes perfect sense.
I am just so happy you wrote these! And I take full blame for plot bunny poking and feeding. These were all fantastic!
