You took my breath away with this. I'm literately shaking, OMG! ♥

[thistlerose]

Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you liked this! :)

Yeah, yeah, I'm sitting here with a tissue in my hand blotting mascara off my cheeks. You did it, again; knocked it right out of the ballpark. Man, but I want to kick the Sefs' asses! And a mild thump to the back of both Jim and Bones heads.

[thistlerose]

The Sef are a bunch of assholes. *g* I like to think that someone in the garrison Starfleet is sending gives Dobrek a kick in the head while saying, "That's for Jim and Leonard!"

Jim and Leonard. Those silly, over-thinking boys. Now that they're communicating, they can give each other the TLC they need.

Anyway. I'm so glad you liked this one, sweetie! Thank you! ♥

Yeah, he blocked it out almost completely. The way he sees it, he's at fault for putting Jim in that position in the first place. Oh, Bones.

But yeah, they'll be okay.

I'm so glad that you liked this story. Thank you so much for the lovely comment!

Oh, intense! I love such stories that deal with realistic, possible events that put both into the losing camp, kind of, where they're forced to do something they don't want to and then have to deal with the aftermath.

Wonderfully done here. Thank you!

[thistlerose]

Thank you so much!

I wanted to put Jim in a situation he'd consider no-win, even though, as Bones points out, he hasn't really lost anything.

I'm so glad you liked this. :)

I'm totally speechless, one of the best thing I've ever read in St fandom....
Saving it immediately...

Wonderful

Wow, thank you so much! *blushes like crazy* Your comment really made me happy.
