Rare pairing indeed! I liked Terry's anxiety at coming back to the LA office and Howard's gentle then firm dealing with it.

This is fantastic! The world's most unlikely pairing, but you pulled it off :-) And I just had a happy thought of a Numb3rs/Criminal Minds crossover...

Fantabulous! I adore the pairing, and I love how Terry's views on men have changed because of Charlie, and how Howard handles her. Tough love, and if that doesn't work, bribery. *g*

Firstly, bringing together Terry and Howard was a wonderful idea, and so neatly executed, too. I love the way you've captured Howard's direct common-sense persona, not to mention the subtleties in Terry's behaviour and attitude.

Secondly, even though visually they're Natalie and Jeremy, you've managed to distinguish Howard and Terry from their fannish counterparts.

Mostly I really enjoyed the ease of the dialogue between them. As ever, you did a wonderful job!

Oh Terry. How I've missed you.

Not a pairing I thought about, but if anyone could make it happen, it is definitely you. I love the way they banter and how Terry's anxiety plays off Howard's cool rationality. Wonderful.
