Well, happy Boxing Day - I hope everyone's full of goodness and glee after yesterday, and enjoying themselves still. Here's another story from me, should sorting out all that wrapping paper start to pall *g*

Oh, that was terrific! I loved the sense of place--you captured that very well--and yes, the timelessness of it. The villagers were great, very real and not at all the usual sort of ciphers that original characters often are in fan fiction. I liked the confrontation with Cowley very much, and the people surrounding them in the pub. *g* And then, of course there was the whole relationship arc! That was wonderful--slow and real, with a sense of both inevitability and magic. I loved the shaving scene! ;-)

If I had to pick a line, it would be the same one elizabethoshea chose. Beautiful!

All in all: terrific, well done, and a wonderful present for Boxing Day. Thank you!

(Is it bad to admit that I quite liked the shaving scene as well? I mean, Doyle should shave Bodie so much more often! *g*)

I'm so glad you liked it, thank you for saying so!
