I loved it! As imogazzi says, it was very in-character for Alan. I also like the concept that Alan-- the planner, the liar-- can't plan, can't think, because he doesn't know how much Gerald would hear.

Possibly my favorite line was this:
"I wouldn't make you do anything," Nick said, not understanding. "I wouldn't even make you tell the truth."
It shows so much about their relationship, and broke my heart a little.

I've been an Alan/Nick shipper since the first chapter of TDL (though that ship was a little broken and leaky until the end of TDL), and this was a beautifully executed fic.
