Interesting and unique. It's sharp, somehow, and a darker portrayal of Moz than we usually see. Here, he's not just the quirky friend - he really comes across as his own person and also as a truly skilled and calculating criminal. The implications about Neal's sketch... wow.
But the whole story is like that. They way Moz observes Neal and considers how he'll mentor him for their future partnership. The episode with Keller was telling despite its simplicity. And the conclusion was brilliant.
It's interesting how their relationship slowly develops from (temporary) partners to a real friendship. This is who Moz would be in "real" life. I like it a lot.

EDIT:
Hmm. Read it again after reading the comment above, because it seemed like we were talking about a completely different story. And I realized that the story was much funnier and light-hearted than I saw it. But then, Mozzie would say that "The focus determines your perspective", or something similar. I've been thinking too much depressing thoughts lately.
Anyway, love it, probably more on the second read now when it actually made me smile.
(And I definitely need a break soon.)

well don't you think that's usually the case, when we reread fics? i often find something new each time, depending on length. that's the great thing about stories - each reader processes in whatever way works for them. i'm so glad you liked this. i hope that break is in your near future. thanks!!
