Loved the Hunt's at home and getting to see Mrs. Hunt. She seems like a lovely woman. :) Great drama and I really liked how you interweaved the TCG and Sam's voices in.

Thank you for the nice comment. Mrs Hunt was very difficult to write due to the lack of canon on this character. Glad to know you liked her.

Oh this was so brilliant. I loved it all, espeically how you wrote the Missus and the conversation where Gene talks Sam into giving the gun back. You're characterizaions are so brilliant.

I mean I can't even fault you for leaving the ending a mystery and I usually hate mysteries lol ;)

loved it!

[space_oddity_75]

Hehe, glad you liked it. Thank you very much! :)

Yay!

*Very* nice! And much better than the version I saw! Love your Gene, and your mention of the wallpaper in the guestroom makes sense of his wallpaper joke, too! (I think I'm going to have you beta all my Gene from now on; what do you say? *g*)

Love the idea of Sam in Gene's 60s clothes. *g*

There's, perhaps, a minor continuity problem in the breakfast scene, I'd say: Margaret's questions make it sound very much as if it's Sam's first breakfast with them.

Oh, and I feel really stupid for not 'getting' the deliciously evil ending, the first time around - in my defense, though, I was totally knackered when I commented on your draft... *g*

Re: Yay!

[space_oddity_75]

See? When I told you I'd done MASSIVE rewriting, I really meant it! Gene has actually turned out better than I expected, and I'm proud of him. ;)

In this version, Sam's stay with the Hunts is shorter than in the draft story. He's actually been there only for one night, that's why he's having his first breakfast with them the morning after.

I'm so glad you liked the ambiguity of the ending! That's exactly what I wanted to achieve. (No need for forgiveness, though. Most times I write or comment on fics, I'm knackered as well.)

But most important, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your moral support and your ideas, darling! This fic wouldn't have turned out so well if you hadn't given me your precious suggestions! ♥

Oh now, that's an evil, evil ending, after an absolutely brilliant build-up. I love the way Sam's problems in 1973 echo his medical condition in 2006, and his confusion and fear and Gene's concern for him rings so true!

[space_oddity_75]

Bwahahahahaha! I'm apparently evil at heart. *g*

Thanks for the nice comment. Glad you liked the fic. :)
