OMG, wow. This is an amazing what if snapshot. Your Daniel is pitch perfect throughout, and the ending, watching his apparent victory so cruelly torn from him, is crushing. Marvelous work!

THANK YOU. For real. That was such a lovely comment to receive, especially having followed your stuff via lost_fic_awards and other communities.

This is the first time I've actually been fully satisfied with my own characterization of Daniel, so the feedback is very much appreciated! :)

Oh My! Just, just Fantastic.
I hate course correction!
What a brilliant start to my day.

Thank you! :D

This is fascinating! How tragic for both of them. No matter what Dan does or when he doesn't, it will always end the same. Great work! I loved the twist.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed -- and gorgeous icon, BTW!

Loved this - great characterisation of Charlotte and Daniel! Course correction sucks, doesn't it?

Thank you! Like I said to another poster above, I feel like I finally reached where I wanted to go in terms of characterization, so I'm glad you enjoyed!

I didn't have time to read this when you posted it, but I'm really glad that I came back. This is intriguing, and I adore the ending (even though (or because) it's so, so tragic). Great twist.
