Amazing! A wonderful character study of Toby, how he thinks, how he has to figure things out - yet he doesn't go for the final answer. He lets Chris have his privacy. I love all the subtleties, the glimpses of how ordinary life is in Oz, how they have the same chores, the same routines as everyone else. And I especially like the play between Rebadow, Toby and Ryan - all sensing trouble and leaving.

Very nicely done!

Thank you so much. I both enjoy and am annoyed by Toby's constant analysis, but it's such an interesting aspect of his character. This was intended to be a little thing and it just grew and grew and grew...

Glad you liked it after all the grey hair it gave me!

i so love your fics. they perfectly encapsulate everything i love about BK, even if we never got it on screen. every time i read one of your fics i feel so glad that you found our fandom.

i loved that Toby didn't tell him. I LOVED the laundry stuff because that's exactly how i feel about toby doing chris's laundry. i'm so glad someone finally wrote exactly what i saw in my mind.

you write great little moments like this between them. great job as usual.

[severina2001]

Aw, thank you. I'm glad, too. I feel revitalized!

The laundry stuff -- yes! And I just love the idea of Toby doing Chris's laundry. :D

Great fic, as always, I loved how you portrayed the whole B/K love, 'cause this kinda things are what I think happened between them when we weren't watching. Amazing!

[severina2001]

Thank you. That's what I think too... there HAD to be moments like these.
