Wow! This was quite an emotional ride! You did the lads reactions well, from Bodie's withdrawal to Ray's anger and hurt, they stayed in character. I liked the way you used scenes from canon to illustrate how and why they felt like they did. I really enjoyed this!

The artwork was gorgeous. The individual portraits are stunning. (I'm particularly fond of the purple robe! *g*)

Well done to both of you! Enjoy the feeling of being done! *g*

What nice things to say.

You're right that the art was gorgeous. The purple robe is always one of my favorites. I like to use canon episodes if I can and I thought some of the scenes fit the story very well. Thanks for reading the story.

Yes, the purple robe was an image I couldn't get out of my head after reading lbc's story. I really wanted to paint it, although it took me four tries to get something halfway passable, and it could be so much better still. Ah well, might give it a try again! For now I enjoy the feeling of being done, like you said :)
