Aww, very well written. Sad :(

Thank you!

Oh, some really great moments here. My favorites are Will's thoughts about his and Djaq's relationship, Guy's thoughts about Marian's opinion of him and his deductive reasoning, and Marian's thoughts about the time John held her and let her hide there--even from Robs. Great chapter.

Thanks! I don't think Guy is as stupid as people sometimes seem to make him out to be! Maybe where Marian is concerned, but not generally...

Another great chapter. Nice to see Marian's reaction...I love that both she felt guilty relief that it was not Robin, and Djaq felt the same about Will. Very realistic.

Thank you!

This:

When she had been of a size for her own father to hold her as completely as that, he had been distant, still grieving over her mother's death. Now she was grieving over his death and John, who seemed to say nothing but see everything, had recognised that and given her somewhere to hide

I just adore that. What a perfect symmetry.

And of course, love for Will/Djaq.

Oooh, I love this part! The Will/Djaq bit is very nice, but I especially like Guy's and Marian's reflections. Guy feels very much in character here, and Marian's thinking that killing Vaizey may be the only way to break his psychological hold on Guy. (I've actually wondered if that was part of Marian's motivation in trying to kill him.) I also love Marian's reflections on being comforted by John, and the idea that he gives her a place to hide from both Robin and Guy and from the pressures of her balancing act. And love that Sarah remembers that he found the cure for Jess.

Thank you! I'm so glad you think Guy's in character. As I said previously I'm still trying to get my head around being in his head!
