This is so utterly delightful, so skillfully wrangled, so incredibly in-character that one absolutely forgets that it is fanfiction! Brava!!!! I ADORE your Tim voice here and when paired with your spot-on Rachel it made for a fic of sheer perfection. If you can write this as a pinch hitter....I would love to see what you could do with these two and a bit more time...

[engage_protocol]

Wow. I'm thrilled you liked it so much, it was great fun to write. Thanks!

This is so, so, so wonderful! I'm grinning from ear to ear. I love the comraderie and the hijinks and the way the two of them get one over on Raylan. Great fic and at pinch hit speed! AMAZING!

[engage_protocol]

Hee, thank you. I wanted to try something fun and lighthearted and I'm glad it made you smile.

This entire fic is perfection.

[engage_protocol]

thanks!

Just re-read. There's so many things to love about your fic. There were so many moments where I laughed out loud. Loved this bit If anyone had asked him what his favourite part of being a Marshal was, he would probably have said something along the lines of ‘the wide variety of neck tattoos among the local wildlife’ or ‘the busy social calendar’ . Neck tattos! Tim being snarky and Rachel being perfect and them being a formidable team and playing Raylan.

I would not be disappointed if you decided to write a whole series about Rachel and Tim being unstoppable BAMFs. No ma'am, not disappointed at all.

Really great job! Completely enjoyable from start to finish. :D

I'm glad you liked it. I always feel like they get short shrift on the show, so I wanted then to have some fun!

“Make sure you tell them your hat’s ironic.”

This was a great way to start my morning. This cracked me up. I love the byplay between Rachel & Tim throughout and their little digs at Deputy Stetson (which is a great name, by the way). And Rachel hustling Raylan at pool was fun.

Thanks for writing such an entertaining read!

Thanks! Common Grounds is where I used to hang out when I lived in Lexington, so I felt I had to work it in somehow. Poor Raylan, he gets such a hard time in this fic.

This exchange is so, so awesome. Thanks!
