Angelfish is one of my absolute fave authors in Pros and Far Shore one of my top 3 Pros fics. I think her wordcraft is simply breathtakingly beautiful.
That being said, this is my leave favorite of all her stories. I read it once years ago and haven't returned to it, so I'm writing this from somewhat distant memories. The emotional impact is incredibly intense and the writing beautiful as ever, but I don't like the story line at all. I just don't want to see my Bodie or Doyle in love with another character, particularly a woman. As good an OC Kathie is, too much time is spent on her. I just don't want that in my Pros fic. I can take D's mourning for a dead lover (Chances) a lot easier than I can this situation. I'm not sure about D being able to function in CI5 or as a cop after having endured what he endured. I also found the ending way too rushed, much more so than in her other works, and the scene I most wanted to see missing.
