You're welcome :-) No point me sitting on it when it's finished and good to go! I think this is the first time I've ever written them as an established couple, just going about their daily lives. It was so much fun, I think I'm guessing I'll be doing it again!

So cruel. You throw in all that Rizzoli & Isles goodness, even fucking Crowe can see the effect, and then you go and end it in the same place as last time. You bastard.

[cj2017]

Oh harsh! Especially coming from someone who's read the ending because she beta-ed the fic! ;-P

I think I would genuinely be a bastard were I not going to post the concluding part on Friday (barring natural disasters, acts of God, power cuts, lap top falling into pond...) As it is, I'm just going to downgrade myself to git ;-)

[laurel_hardy]

Just sympathizing with the less fortunate. Can I get you to give us a brief dissertation on the precise meaning of 'git'? I'd love to refine my understanding of it.

[cj2017]

LOL. We're now sitting on the sofa, eating Rolos and trying to establish where git comes in in the insult chart.

So far: Definitely below bastard. Somewhat below wanker. Considerably below c*nt, but a little above "daft egg." ;-)

Some excellent definitions here: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=git I think I would go with the third explanation, personally. Which kind of places it on a par with "bugger" ;-)

That any help? *g*

[cj2017]

Thank you. I wanted to play around with POV because it's something I've never done before, and I like to keep myself entertained by switching things up a little!

First of all, let me thank you for the image of Maura wearing boxers...

As usual, I really love the way you write these two. The lunch scene captured the banter between them perfectly.

And you really should get some sort of an award for adding 2700 words and still leaving us at EXACTLY the same place you left us in before! Once again, I'm wearing out the refresh button hoping to find part 3.

[cj2017]

Oh you are so welcome. It is a lovely image, isn't it? Maybe we could start some kind of fan campaign... ;-)

That lunch scene took a lot of research! I have no idea whether anyone out there has ever eaten a Junkyard Dog (Spike's really does exist) but I would love to hear from them if they're reading *g*

As for your last point: LOL. That is quite a feat, huh? I didn't want to simply rewrite Seven Minutes (although I think some people might have been expecting/wanting that) I wanted to muck things up a little and play with the timeline/POVs. I usually write in a straight line, fic gives me the chance to experiment ;-)

[sunsetwriter]

I loved the Junkyard Dog - it sounds exactly like something Jane would eat! I've never had one, but if I'm ever back in that area, I may just have to find Spike's.

I've always kinda liked books and/or movies that start with the final scene (or close to it) and then back-track to show you how it all happened. You did a great job with that.

Oh, and I will definitely sign up for the Maura-in-boxers campaign. Especially if they're Jane's boxers. Hmm, Maura in Jane's boxers - oh, the possiblities... ;-)

[cj2017]

Here you go: http://www.spikesjunkyarddogs.com/ The Boston branch is on Boylston street which isn't a million miles away from the BPD building (never let it be said that I don't put in the research hours!) There's a menu on the page as well :-)

As soon as I said that about messing with the timeline, I remembered Snowbound opened with a scene that I then tracked back to! Duh. Originally in that, I'd written the prologue from Sam's POV at the start and then from the bad guy's POV when it occurred in real time. I had to take out the bad guy's POV on editorial advice, hence when it came around to it, that scene was really just a copy and paste job. No regrets about losing Steve's POV but maybe this is me returning to that idea!

Oh hell yes to our S3 campaign!! If we're going to have to put up with the gods know how many episodes of them bickering, then them making up should definitely involve Maura in boxers and then Jane in Maura's boxers... if you catch my drift ;-)

[afret2010]

Seriously, you're making us live through that ending again! That's just mean ;-)

[cj2017]

Heh, yeah, but I put the concluding part up really quickly :-)
