This was really good. I'm shallow enough to admit I watched the last season because Kyle Gallner was on it and I love finding stories with Reed in them.
You did a fantastic job at keeping them in character, I could see and hear them as if I was watching the show.
I really hope you write more stories for this, it's excellent.

I almost let the pairing, and the fact that Lindsay is far from my favorite character, scare me off. I'm really glad that I didn't.

This was good, really really good. It provided some closure to that storyline that the show hasn't, and deal tin an interesting way with the effects their experiences have had on both Lindsay and Reid.

Interesting pairing. It doesn't quite sing for me, maybe because it lacks the dirty frisson of Mac/Reed or the prettypretty of Lindsay/Danny but as always you take the unwritten and make it completely plausible.

I did struggle with this one, but I persevered 'cause it was an idea that I liked. I think there's just too much depressed damage going on here to make it workable, but ah well ;)

Thanks for the Americanism tips (cannot believe Americans don't have "fortnights" - how do you live?!) as well sweetie.

You give us this beautiful language and look what we do to it. Fortnight might have worked in an American based fic around the time of the Civil War, but it's completely gone out of American vernacular.

Never stop trying the impossible pairings. The results are always worthwhile.

I really liked that. I'm glad that you touched on something that CSI NY has not. How IS Reed doing after what he went through??? I really like Reed. In fact I watch the show especially when Kyle gallner's on it. Lindsey is hardly my favorite character but I could totally see this happening. Very good!!! I loved it.
