You're welcome! Many thanks for reading and taking the time to let me know your thoughts :-) I liked the idea of the boot being on the other foot with Jane in this one; we never really see her as helpless or out of control in these kinds of situations.

Excellent ending. I was thinking exactly what you said, "what goes around comes around"!

Poor Jane I think the person doing the waiting may have the harder part to play, especially a person like Jane.

[cj2017]

Thank you. I agree about the waiting being the hard part. The recovery part would be largely Maura's battle but the waiting would be horrendous for the person at the bedside, especially for someone more accustomed to being active as opposed to passive.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Such a subtle ending. :) Loved reading every bit of it! While reading this last chapter I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach. Beautiful!!

[cj2017]

:-) Very happy you enjoyed it.

[cj2017]

Ta! I think I should write them as an established couple more often. Season two mucked them around so much, I'd forgotten how very sweet they are together.

Phew! Maura's going to be OK!!! I think perhaps you were being cruel to be kind and let us all feel Jane's raft of scary EMOSHUNS over imperiled Maura, but also her relief (although a word that is exponentially larger in scope would describe it better) to know that Maura will recover. I'm guessing Maura will be able to do at least as much damage shopping on line during her recovery as Jane did, but probably of a different order. I wonder what it will be like for Jane to be the caregiver for a change.

You know, I'm wondering that myself...Maybe I'll write A Week on Monday one of these days (having said that, I have no idea whether that phrase even means anything Stateside!)

As for Maura in boxers... Gerritsen, WTF?! She already writes shitty books, now she's gone for shitty product placement? Have some fucking shame, woman! And those ugly budgie smugglers were totally not the boxers I was imagining. I was going more with something like this...http://www.fogeyunlimited.co.uk/acatalog/Boxer_Shorts.html

PS: I fucking love that that store is called Fogey Unlimited :-)

[laurel_hardy]

I share your outrage over Gerritsen tasteless marketing (although if we took her name and stupid ass phrasing off themI have a feeling Maura would make them work), but I'm afraid I can't follow you to fogeyland, as much as I like their branding. Cause they really did get the fogey part right. One look at those and my brain screamed "DAD?!?!?!". Which for me anyway is quite the buzz kill. I mean the man's been dead for 10 years, I don't see how he could get any fogeyer. Can we get her some nice plaid or striped or polka dotted ones? Hey, how about paisley? Dad would never wear any of those.

A Week on Monday makes perfect sense, both as a title and as a story I'd like to read.

[cj2017]

Maura might well make those pants work...I dunno, they're just too fitted, I like my women in looser shorts ;-) Plaid, striped, polka dotted...LOL, funny you should mention that! I must have a thing for this underwear, I just remembered I managed to get them into the new BSB story as well!

As for A Week on Monday, we'll see. I seem to be having an R&I renaissance at the moment, I actually watched some bits of eps yesterday (something I've not done in months) and yeah, it's still utter shit, but they are awfully cute ;-) Not looking forward to countless episodes of them sniping at each other in S3. Their rel is the ONLY reason for watching, ergo them not actually having a rel would lead me to switching off PDQ.
