This story is awesome, and I'm so glad I got to beta it :)
Congrats on finishing the big bang!

Thanks! You were an awesome beta, and an awesome mod! Couldn't have done it without you.

Simply amazing. Loved the way you weave canon with a different time make everything mesh so smooth. The unsubs, the skills, the pairings - perfect.

((hugs you)) Awesome job.

Thank you so much! This fic was...one hell of a trip.

LOL! I'll bet. You know that bunny I said I was ignoring - the one with a post-apocalyptic/no more gas crossover with Tooth and Nail/CM/CMSB? Yeah I have 10 pages of notes, 4 pages of actual story (where I am only 1/3 of the way down the 1st page of notes), and juggling about 25 characters. *headdesk* I'm dooooomed...

Lol. I'm doomed too -- I just gave up the Star Trek BB again. It died after one scene. But I still have X-Men, Journey Story, Angelic BB, and Angst BB. I keep wanting to write bits of the Angst BB, but I have till January to write that, but I only have till the end of Sept. for X-Men. And then there's NaNo -- but I have an idea already for NaNo.

Being a big CM and SH fan, I was thrilled to see this story. Loved the way you wove cannon Tobias Hankel/Foyet/Nathan Harris into this story. The scene at the end where Hankel's various personalities is trading quotes with Reid. You applied the attitudes of Victorian England very appropriately here. I was worried by the amount of characters to keep track of, wondering if I would need an index like Dostoevsky, but you kept everything nicely balanced and clear. I also liked your references to the Shadow Unit. A complex, intriguing, and ultimately very satisfying read. Thanks very much!

Wow, thanks for the comment! This is going to grow into a sort of universe -- I intend to have a few sequels and interludes in order to cover all of the characters.

complex, intruiging, and ultimately very satisfying

That's probably the nicest thing anyone's ever said about my fanfiction! Thank you so much.

And the discussion between Hankel and Reid was awesome to write -- I loved every inch of that scene.
