Short review: See comments below!

God, this one just blew me away. For me it delivers on all counts: characterisation, plot, pacing and prose. And she manages what apparently is extremely difficult to do, namely writing a damaged, hurting, vulnerable Ray Doyle without emasculating him. And the ending just... Yes, that is what I imagine will happen to them in the end. Just like that.

I agree. It's a brilliant read and I loved it.

I absolutely adore this fic and this writer. I wandered around in a daze after I read this story for the first time. I felt scoured out, heart and soul, and somehow beautifully put back together by her. I still have to steel myself to reread it because she gets right into my head and emotions with this one, and it doesn't leave me easily. And I think her Ray Doyle is a masterpiece.

Couldn't agree more. This is an amazing fic, one of my favorites.

It's an extremely painful read- heartbreaking but wonderful too. Really well characterised especially Ray- great story.
