omg that was fantastic..so cleverly written. I love how you bring Bodie's past into the story and how everything just seems to come full circle at the end and of course the loving , sometimes abrasive partnership between these two ...thankyou so much x

This worked out very well for me--see an intriguing, beautiful vid before going to bed, and get up and here's the story! (Argh for real life, so I can't get started on it right away, but I will soon!) Congratulations for posting! Now you get to just enjoy the comments as they roll in... *g*

Thank you for a lovely long read, that was just what I needed to recover from the week! *g*
Bodie is being so supportive and understanding, poor love - I'm glad Doyle appreciates him! And Cowley knows his men; knows he can count on Doyle's devotion to duty even now, and on Bodie to support him. But oh, oh Patrick ... (I won't say, for fear of accidentally spoiling someone who hasn't read it yet!)

Hello! I've just had time to read this and... WOW! I loved it, especially Doyle and Breen's relationship. I could really feel their doubt and unsaid need for each other. Class story! :-)

Now for the vid, I loved the clips of MS being used for Doyle's father - not something that's been done often before! The music was perfect, absolutely perfect. :-)

(I tried to comment at AO3 but for some reason it wouldn't let me.)

I really liked the plot and the way you wove in and out of present and past for both Doyle and Bodie. And, as someone else has already mentioned, the beginning was intriguing and original, really pulling me in. Thanks so much for all your hard work and for a great read!

I really love your story!

The plot is great, and the boys are spot on. And I like it very much when ther are good 'minor characters'.

I really had to grin at "Easy on, old son. Just waiting for Ray to make his move"
The whole scene is brilliant.

But I was a bit sad in the end that Breen had to die... *sigh*

Thank you so much!

Lovely story! Very natural characters and beautifully written. I loved the poignancy, in fact it's really hard to believe it's not actually true! Thanks so much, I loved every minute.
