And what the hell is that ending for? I really can 'see' the author 'thinking': 'What? Feeling comfortable with the fic at last? There is something I can do about it...'
LOL! But what an idea to exclude the end when you print the story! :-) But anyway there is always that gnawing knowledge that the author had other plans. And therefore I prefer to say: They are good, they survived other ops, they will survive! There is this German proverb that says that 'damaged goods last longest'. So... ;-)
And right at the moment there is a discussion at PROSfanfic (are you still a member Josh...? ;-)) about selective perception of open endings...
I agree with 'reading ends first'.
The rest of the story I enjoyed, and wil definitely read it again! I agree with Murphy, wheras Ann wasn't such a problem for me. Maybe it should show how others were aware of the relationship between Bodie and Doyle.
I (dis)like Kath. Ahem... Haven't decided yet, must think about it... (the visit is there, must stop now...)
