Wow.

I liked the structure of the story immensely. Bam. First paragraph. Brian is dead. And then the slashbacks of how the relationship had come together and grown.

Your Vengance!Dom is wonderfully calculating and scary. He's had the hot flare of wrath and worked through it into something much darker. A banked fire waiting for that gust of air to make it go hwoom!

The conclusion of bringing us back to the beginning was beautiful. I loved the use of desert images and the fact that Dom has worked through his grief. Brian is gone and he is not and you pick up the pieces and keep stepping through. And you still love and you don't forget. You just have to keep moving.
