Fantastically written with a solid story, great world building, all the feels and the tugging at heart strings - this was on its way to 4, maybe even 5, stars - but then that ending ... WTF?!? So disappointing! It's like all the previous work the author did to establish personhood and consent, to push past the harsh constraints of the fucked up future - just went right out the window to make way for a potential ménage.

It happened so abruptly, right after two sessions of borderline non-consent (with Connor wanting to stop and even safe wording, then being overridden after a slight pause - was he ok or was David taking advantage?), that there was no time to believe they'd found a workable solution. For shame.
