Wow, what a lovely, lovely story. I am completely blown away.

Also, a great bit of timing for me, because I've just seen "Operation Susie" and been stung, on the lads' behalf, by Cowley's behavior, so nice to see another version of how they might have reacted.

I loved that the townspeople knew what was going on even before they did! And the echo of what had happened to Fiona's nephew and his lover years before.

Probably my favorite scene, if I had to pick one, was the morning of the first snow, and the almost-moment that eventually led to the actual moment of first touch and kiss.

"Nearly as good as bullets,"--loved that. I got a real sense of how much they hated Cowley for what he'd done.

I had this terrible feeling that they were going to die at the end and I was preparing myself for that, so it was nice that they finally had a happy ending, or as happy as could be expected. Like others, I wished they could have stayed there forever, but I suppose that's not realistic.

*runs to pick up all the bits of you, sticks you back together... eyes the missing bits... it was windy...*

*g* Thank you! Know what you mean about the ending too, could you tell that I was torn and wanted them to stay there as well? But on the other hand, that's what I like about Pros, it is relatively realistic... Okay, I said relatively *g*

And hee - I saw your post just before I put the fic up actually, but I was very good and restrained myself from saying anything at all, due to the above!
