A light steampunk style AU story about Dalton who makes either custom or standard prostethics and Finn who comes to Dalton to get a new hand.
It is a gentle tale of a gradual friendship and relationship.
It kind of ends at the beginning proper of their relationship so that leaves a bit of a grumpy face feeling but I did like the overall story.

Lovely sweet story. Nothing too angsty, and it's paced just right. The story of how a bio-mechanical hand brought two people together, it a wonderful steampunk setting. I really enjoyed it, and it was a nice uncomplicated read right when I was in the mood for just that!

a bit plotless, but nice enough.
a touch of gentle head-hopping here and there, and a clumsy bit of epistolary nothing towards the end—but some very nice passages and a happily ever et cetera.
felt like pieces of different novels, or of one where the author is lurching about trying to figure out what she wants to write.
as such, i never felt more than a passing connection to any of it, leaving aside the lingerie fetish, which was rather more solidly Not My Kink.
