Wow... absolutely gorgeous. So many memorable lines & thoughts as Djaq describes the hands - your descriptions are marvelous. I was touched by the one of Djaq's brother, and of each of the outlaws. Fantastic job!

Thank you so much. Writing something like this was a bit of a departure for me, so your kind words are very much appreciated. :)

This is just lovely, and I had thoughts as I was reading, but am sniffling so sappily at the sweet ending that I can't quite recall now what they were... :)

Thank you! Oh my! You're spoiling me with flattery today! :)

I'm so glad you liked it. I was quite proud of the way it came out, actually, and I don't usually feel that way about things I create. I'm sorry that it made you sniffly though. *passes tissues*

Thanks again!

Oh, I loved this. I've always had a thing about hands. One of my favorite photo essays done in school was on the subject of "hands." It's amazing how distinctive and telling they can be.

When you left Will off of the "inventory," I knew you had something special planned. You did NOT disappoint. The absent-minded caressing with a single thumb - so natural, so heartfelt - was fabulous.

Thanks! The hands are capable of saying so much, aren't they?

The absent-minded caressing with a single thumb - so natural, so heartfelt - was fabulous.

Yay! That is JUST what I was going for. Thank you! :)

Well, I have to admit, when I saw the title and the description, my mind went into a VERY dark and dirty little gutter! Well done!

Well, the prompt "hands" kind of invites dark and dirty thinking, doesn't it? ;)

**shudders thinking of Allan's large hands with their nimble fingers** Oh, jess, darling, it does...

(I am both stunned and appalled that I hadn't actually commented on this up until now! Please forgive me!)

This is a wonderful fic - to take such a simple prompt and develop it so beautifully to tell us so much about Djaq and also how she views those around her. You captured each of the outlaws perfectly in so few words.

The theme of good men, decent men and the best man was also beautifully woven through the whole fic.

Really lovely - good job!

Thank you so much for the lovely compliments! With so many Intercomm fics being posted around the same time, I know there are still some I never got around to commenting on. So you taking the time to say such nice things now really means a lot. Thank you! :)
