Thank you for that! It took me a bit to get into it, but as things picked up I really loved how they tried to work around the situation (and the whole frantic "chase" going on).

It's almost 2 am and I *really* should be in bed, but I stayed up reading your fic, LOL.

One note, though. To avoid spoilers,

I really enjoyed your story back in 2009!
Time to reread it. :-)

Thank you for posting!

Oh wow. My head is spinning. And I read this before morning coffee, too! So, *works out on fingers* if he's writing at this time, and then... no, not then, um...

I don't care. It was lovely.

Oh lovely, thank you!

The movie is a favourite of mine, so I can't wait to read your story... tonight tonight! *rubs hands together gleefully*

This was cleverly done! I wasn't a big fan of the movie (maybe it's that Reeve's guy *g*)but I love the way you "Professionalized" it! You did have me worried when then bus came along in the beginning, and I wasn't sure how you were going to get them together, but you did a great job! And the kat (*g*) was fun! (sorry - couldn't stop myself) This was a great start to the DIALJ holiday season!

I enjoyed this! Very different and I admire your ability to juggle the time changes and keep it believable:) I've read about the film but never seen it and wondered how it could possibly come out to a happy ending with them both together and knowing each other in the right time. Well done:)

Oh, I love how you reimagined this for The Pros! Well done indeed. Thanks for a lovely present.

I don't know the film, so this was a lovely and intriguing read for me, and I'm so glad they found each other in the end! And well done for writing so cleverly around varying time-lines! Thank you!

I wanted to post my comments a couple of hours ago when I'd just finished your story and everything I felt about it was still fresh in my mind but, surprise, surprise, livejournal was down yet again. Anyway, I was very impressed with this: it was involving, intriguing, very different and I got so caught up with it I kept darting around checking out dates etc! And, despite the complicated logistics of the whole idea, you still managed to keep their blossoming relationship sweet, gentle and very endearing. I really enjoyed this a lot, so thank you for all your hard work!

Ah, wonderful! This fic made my day. One of my favourite films -- and Professionalsised! Couldn't stop smiling all the way through it. I loved how you put them in this situation yet kept them in character.

That was lovely, I enjoyed reading it. I've seen the film which was quite confusing, but here I had the advantage to go back and check the dates. Thank you for sharing. :-)

I just started to open up the 'doors', thanks to lj's hick-ups :)
I downloaded the story and this will be one of my weekend lectures *g*
I don't know the movie so I'm already wondering where your story will take me ;)
Thank you for sharing and I'll come back once I'm finished!

Very late to the party, but just had to comment about how much i enjoyed this! Not knowing the film didn't matter - thank you for a great read.
