Sometimes it's easy to forget the lives Sam changed when he chose 1973. This is a beautiful, melancholy reminder. Thank you. <3

I love small side stories that fill in more of the peripheral lives Sam would have touched in both times and this is a wonderful example.
Thank you!

*nod* there are so many details, often very small, which can be so very tempting to explore fic-wise.
So glad you enjoyed this particular foray!

I really like the repeat of the first line as the last line too. Trying to reconcile it and then being grateful for the effort made. *loves* Just lovely. Thank you!

I rewatched 1.04 recently and it really hit me about Joni's mum - what happened to her after Joni was murdered? With Warren taken care of I reckoned there was no need for her to leave Manchester and that she'd probably want to be near her husband and Joni's graves, and then it all sort of fell into place about her meeting Ruth.
I'm so glad this made such a positive impact on you!
