Thank you. It took a while for this story to appear on Delicious after I posted it, and I was starting to wonder if I was going to get any comments at all! (There are none on the Archive of Our Own version, which makes me sad).

Hadvar and Martin are taking care of each other for now. They're not each other's One True Love, and they both know that. Since I'm not writing the Dovahkiin Martin stories in any kind of chronological order, either the next story or the one after that will give you epic spoilers about who everyone ends up with long-term. Ah well.
