Oh, thank you! I don't think anyone's ever written fic specifically for me before, and there is not enough Duncan fic in the world, so I'll be grinning for hours down here.

At this was so sad and sweet, and so very Duncan. He wants to do the right thing, so badly. The thought of Lilly 2.0 actually being Mr. Manning's is awful, but makes a chilling sort of sense. And Duncan never brings it up, for the sake of the girl who is still his daughter. The little things you bring up all over the place; like Logan having thought Jake would hit Duncan, just... awesomely painful.

I love this line from the second last paragraph: He couldn’t explain that he understood, that the Kane house had frozen his sister so much that she put her hand in the fire just to feel some warmth. GAH.

Okay, if I don't shut up now I'll be going on forever, but... ilu, you know that?

Crap. The italics are meant to end after: "his daughter."

Awww, I'm so glad you like this.

(And so sorry for not responding to this before now. I've been MIA.)

It's a good fic. *shrug* I was kind of wondering where you'd gone...

This is really beautiful. The show never really got into Duncan's inner life much, and I think that was a mistake--more so now that I've read this.

Thanks so much!

This is really interesting, to see things from Duncan's perspective, particularly poignant him feeling protective to his own daugther and reflecting on Lilly and the way she was shaped by her parents

I'm glad you found it interesting. Thanks for the comment.

This is lovely, painful and incredibly beautiful. I love all of the parts so much that it is hard to pick a favorite. Not many fics focus on Duncan, especially after he went to Australia. Great job!

Thanks so much!
