What little hope there is in the ending is a lot more believable because it *isn't* a happy ending - just one where they come to terms with their situation.

{{Quotation|[Before and After]: The only thing I liked about this fic is that Avon got put against the wall for killing Blake. (This review will surely gain me a lot of friends in the fandom.) It was bold and quite cathartic. But of course, here it was because he wanted it - he’s too cool to just be shot, apparently. I can also add half a point for the homophobia thing - I don’t mind exploring this subject matter in slash, and don’t even mind portraying main characters as homophobic, it could be done in an interesting and nuanced manner, but here I felt like it was only somewhat interesting, but mostly felt forced and just made them too unsympathetic. Apart from that, it’s just way too similar to Love Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry, except now Deva is also dragged into the Not As Good As performance. <ref>From the tumblr post [https://locked-behind-the-walls.tumblr.com/post/615997777726603264/reviews-of-some-novas-fics Reviews of Some Nova’s Fics]; [https://web.archive.org/save/https://locked-behind-the-walls.tumblr.com/post/615997777726603264/reviews-of-some-novas-fics Wayback link], April 21, 2020 </ref>}}
