Fic: Trading Rescues

[philomytha]

This is another fic from the department of Sleep Deprivation Makes Me Write. I started this fic when Cryoburn was published, but I couldn't figure out what it was all about, so I abandoned it and it has been sitting in my stalled WIP pile until I reread it the other day and suddenly worked out how to solve the puzzle. So here you go

Thanks! Cryoburn had an awful lot of moments that weren't shown on the page, I think.

This is wonderful and it made me cry.

[philomytha]

Thanks! I'm pleased to hear it touched you.

Damn you, you made me cry just as hard as Bujold did at the end of Cryoburn itself. Beautiful, beautiful story, thank you. It's two years since my own father died and this is exactly it. Exactly. Thank you.

*hugs* I'm sorry for your loss. Thanks for commenting, and it's lovely to know that the story touched you.

Very well done. I thought the ending of Cyroburn was well done, but I wished for more details about the characters struggles, and this fills a gap nicely. I particularly like the part about Simon filling his name in as the #1 pallbearer. Well done.

Thanks! I definitely wanted more after the end of Cryoburn, but it's all very hard to write.
