Author: lalalive23 
Pairing: Belldom
Rating: NC-17
Warning: Swearing and sexual content
Summary: AU. Matt moved to Spain immediately after his lover left him to continue his work on the Spanish guitar. When Dom takes a holiday with his new fiancee, his world gets turned upside down and nothing is ever the same again.
Feedback: Not gonna lie, I'm a feedback whore. I get the shakes without it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Muse. If I did, they sure as hell would not be let out of the naughty closet. I don't make money off this. If I did, I would be a rich lady and not distracting myself from writing an undergrad thesis that is somehow much bigger than I.
Note: FINALLY! The long awaited update. My poor boys have been fighting with me about getting this out. They're stubborn little buggers, not wanting to be honest with themselves but...here we are. It took me so long to write this, mainly because I needed to be sure that everything was perfect. But more than that, I wanted this to be real. Nothing about this story was ever intended to be easy, because love isn't easy (and you're one of the lucky ones if it is, for you). I spent so much time reading this and checking to make sure these discussions were exactly as I wanted them to be. Picking the music for this chapter was also a frigging bitch. I can't write if I'm not musically inspired and I needed something with a proper tone. Tool always sets me at ease. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter (though I'm pretty sure you will ;)) *also...are we really at 15 parts? goddamn!*

Endless thanks to my musketeers dolce_piccante , millionstar , and sunshine_173  for being bit readers, inspiration givers, cheerleaders, and spot fixers. Honestly, my fic would be nothing if I didn't have them.
