Oh man. That's smoking hot, oddly in-character, and very, very hot. Well played.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. [was getting scared no one would read this] Glee!

This was so good. I don't normally comment on fics (tee hee annoying lurker with nothing useful to say) but I just wanted to on this one to make sure you update it :P Can't wait to read more.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Life has been insane lately. (I'm unemployed/planning a trip to another country/planning to move to another state.) But I do want to make the time to finish this.

Hey! I'm another lurker, but I thought I'd poke my head out to say that I really enjoyed this. Laurie's a character that I didn't feel too strongly about either way when I first read the book, but fanfics like this are really making me appreciate her a lot more--makes me want to go back and re-read it with more of a focus on her

[quietprofanity]

Thanks for the lovely comment!

I find Laurie is a character that improves on multiple readings. When I first read the graphic novel I didn't like her very much, but now she's my second-favorite character. I'm also glad you liked how I wrote Veidt (who is actually for me a character I don't like much but started to appreciate more with the fanfics I read).

(And even though Laurie was unable to secure his help, there doesn't seem to be a clear "winner" in this scenario, which I liked.)

Hmmm. That actually hadn't occurred to me, but Veidt never does get that understanding from Laurie, does he?

This after the Roche case, right? Because I think you did a very good job subtly indicating how strained their relationship has become since then.

Thank you! Yes, this is after the Roche case. I enjoyed writing them. One thing I like about writing longer fanfics is it gives you a chance to explore beyond the main focus. The fic is less myopic that way.

Thanks again for the wonderful comment. I hope you keep reading.

Wow! I am not a Silk Spectre fan at all, but this fic is amazingly well-done. I never thought I could ever read a Laurie/Dan fic and appreciate it, but this fic is just...I don't even know to say, awesome. Everyone is so in character and the description is just so well-done.

Bravo! I can't wait to read your next chapters!

[quietprofanity]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and hope the next chapters don't disappoint.

This is so well done - blisteringly hot and everyone's perfectly in character. I love it to pieces, but this is the part that really won me over:

Adrian turned back in her direction with a graceful swoop, something that reminded Laurie of how her mother would act whenever a paparazzo came to take her picture.

PERFECTION.

I can't wait to see how you handle the rest of the pairings.

[quietprofanity]

Thank you so much for your comment! (Which reminds me I need to comment on YOUR fanfics if I haven't already. Eeep! But they're so good!) I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[orangesparks]

Heh, don't worry about it! (...and I have to admit I'm most excited about seeing Laurie/Rorschach, which I ship too hard for my own good.)

[quietprofanity]

Well, there'll be a brief Laurie/Jon snippet in the next chapter, but Rorschach is next in line. :-)
