First!

Perfect. Have to go to work, but this was fantastic. More later when I have a proper read through.

You were quick out the gate this morning!

Great chapter. It all seems to be coming together for them. Now I can see a twist coming, only cause I am thinking about it too much.

Why do I feel like jumping up and down and singing, "Peter's got a friend, Peter's got a friend!" every time he and Elias have these wonderful little moments between them? It's just a delight to see the sheer lonliness of his non-Rose related life lifting from him whenever he's around this man. And I like how he admires the man's relationship with his wife, too. Good people, those two. I hope he realizes how lucky he is to be working with Elias.

It's good for Peter, without question, to find that 1. he's capable of being friends with a co-worker, and 2. that it's possible to have a successful, long-term relationship with a woman who's as smart as he is, and who loves danger even more than he does :)

How nice to see Peter working with lovely people who appreciate him and interact appropriately! How could he ever endure the North Lakes Constabulary after this? Great chapter!

Ah---that's the question, isn't it? ;)

Ah---that's the question, isn't it? ;)

One suspects it's rather the point of the exercise that he doesn't. Man, would I love to see someone like Elias' senior hand Williams his ass (would that be an apropos role for Bernard Hill?).

would that be an apropos role for Bernard Hill?

Oh! Yes! Perfect! You'll, ah, just have to wait. A bit.

“No argument, Inspector Carlisle?” Elias’s wry tone gave him pause.

“No...should there be?”

“So the mood does wear off by mid-morning?”

Peter made a rude gesture, smiling, and then walked over to the large police vehicle.

oooooh. letting someone else drive the car and teasing? a sure sign Peter's catching on to this whole lets be friends and partners thing :)

He’d not have to live with her-he’d be happy to simply be in the same city as her, to know that he could walk over or take the subte, that he’d not have to pack a suitcase to spend more than a few hours with her.

hmm. yes getting ahead of himself, but thinking more realistically and logically than I think he was before. After A Secret Thing, does he suggest moving into his own flat or is it assumed he'll just move in with Rose?

“Shall we, m’love?” Elias extended his elbow to his wife; she laughed, swatting playfully at him before passing by.

okay, I think I died a bit from cute with that. wait till they witness the power of PeterRose though ;)

He's getting there :)

*g* Stay tuned.

I'll be curious to read more about this though....

I haven't written much, honestly--but after Elias next discusses his past (I'm fairly sure it comes up again), feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

I love seeing them work together.

I...I might be so bold as to say, that Peter and Elias make a better investigative team than do Peter and Rose.

Though with his track record of cheating and jealousy in the past, I can see why he would be skittish to go down those paths of thought.

Ah, that's an *excellent* point.

Was Ruby in the military as well? is that how they met?

Yes--and no. *g*

Have a lovely weekend, as well!

[jlrpuck_fic]

With Peter and Rose, I mean. ;)
