Wow! I never thought about that pairing before, but now I can't stop. *g*

I love the game/goal metaphor. I can relate to it in my own life all too well. I like that it was Charlie who gave him that insight.

BTW, Charlie's reaction to the kiss? O-M-G, now I can't wait to read the companion Don/Charlie fic you're writing. *veg*

[ceares]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was uncertain about the pairing, but the scene in the car in Manhunt is what got me going on it.

Also, I'm glad the metaphor worked for you. I'm probably just the opposite. I'm enjoying the game too much to concentrate on any goals alas!

Coop is getting a lot of action today, isn't he? ;) This is my favorite take so far; okay, I had a sneak preview, but this is more the way I see the character, and that makes me happy fanfic-wise.

[ceares]

He is isn't he? *g*. Thank you! I really can't express enough gratitude for the beta. I'm kind of betaphobic(as in really a fear of the beta experience-not that I don't like them), and you made it a really pleasant experience.

I'm so glad! I've never betaed for someone I don't know well before. I edit and write all the time professionally, but betaing is a totally different relationship!

BTW, I think the addition about Charlie was very good. It was enough, not too much. Looking forward to the whole story.

"I decided to enjoy the game for a while."

I liked this!!! It isn't a pairing that jumps out at you, but it really works.

(I also can't wait to read the D/C companion piece. *g*)

[ceares]

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Don and Charlie are being much more difficult than the other D/C, but I'm working on them *g*.

Oh very nice! And not a pairing that had every really crossed my mind.

I definitely think this story stands well on its own, and I'm glad I wasn't misreading the Don/Charlie hints.

[ceares]

Thankyou very much! Definitely Don/Charlie hints there, though I was trying to be subtle once I realized that the stories could overlap nicely.

I hope to be able to read it some day :) Looking forward to it.

This was so good. I haven't read any David-centered fic before, but now I'm going to make a point to seek it out. My favorite passage in the whole fic was:

"I didn't want to disturb you."

"What disturbs me is this defiled virgin act you pull after."

Egads--"defiled virgin act"--I laughed so hard that I scared my dog.! LOL.

but kissing Coop was like defusing bombs

A metaphor that fits the character perfectly! Excellent tie-in to the train episode, that reference to David's experience in Tel Aviv. Excuse me while I bow down and chant "We're not worthy!" *g*

[ceares]

Wow! *blushes* Thank you very, very much!
