I love this - it's totally worth the wait!

I'm really interested in the plot and you've got a great sense of pacing, taking time to tell the story but keeping it really fresh and tense.

I'm terrified about what's happening in the Hub and in love with your Owen, he's very abrasively in character and interacts brilliantly with Tosh and Jack.

Really good stuff!

Thank you! Phew! Glad you stuck with me.

I'm glad to hear that the story reads well and that I managed to keep Owen sounding like Owen. Truth - at first I had him capitulating to Tosh way too soon. When I read it over, I went, "Nah. That just isn't what Owen would do." Owen does angry and annoying well, doesn't he?

I have a real soft spot for Owen - I mean, I'm a Jack-girl at heart, but Owen just makes me laugh and shake my head at the same time. And you really do have him down well, the way he gruffly asks if everyone is okay but complains and bitches the rest of the time - and you give valid explanations for his behavious! Really, I could yammer on all night about TW and how many lines I love in your fic (because it is really, really good, very layered and excellent to re-read, which is fun to do while waiting ;-) - no pressure) but mostly just to echo what's said below: reads like an episode!

Jack's been complaining to me that Owen is getting all the best lines. Since he's my favorite, he's been a little upset. I told him not to worry. He gets to be tremendously heroic and clever in chapter 9.

Heroic and clever? That's my Jack, I'm very excited. Also, he has an excuse for not being quite as witty as usual - he wasn't well!
