Two Desmonds in one day? I feel spoiled by you. Can you have more slow days at work?

I just finished re-watching Atonement and this reminds me of the "Come back to me" moments that speak of hope and loss and regret. Great work!

Ha, I know! I don't know why I all of the sudden have Desmond on my mind, but I won't complain. Today is another slow one, but I am going to try and use it to finish the fic that I am totally stuck on.

It is funny that you should mention Atonement. I am actually reading the novel right now, so maybe that is where this came from.

Thanks!

That was beautiful. I love the idea of Desmond coming back to Penny different & not the man that she loved. Wonderful angst

Thank you! We know that Desmond is not the same man he used to be, but I hope it doesn't actually turn out this way. I am all for a happy ending for Penny and Des.

Oh wow, that was heartbreaking. And frighteningly real. After everything Desmond has been through, everything he's seen and done, I don't think there's any going back to who he was before. But he will come out stronger in the end, and he will finally know who he is, something he lacked before.

But he will come out stronger in the end, and he will finally know who he is, something he lacked before.

I hope you're right! I would still like to see him struggle with that a little more before he and Penny are reunited.

Thank you for reading!!

Can you tell I am rather pessimistic? Almost all of my stories are gloomy. I am worried about all of those things that you mentioned. But I am hoping that the writers will choose this pairing for their chance to end on a high note. I don't expect there to be much for happy endings come the finale, but I think there will probably be one in store for Penny and Desmond. I hope... :(

I tend to think Penny is a much stronger person than Desmond. I believe that if something like this were to happen, she would be the one to hold it all together. You do not spend 3+ years searching for someone if you did not have a love for them that could survive anything. I hope the writers agree and at least give them a happy ending, even if the rest of the characters find only death and destruction.
