I was worried about these two. I'm glad they're (relatively) okay.
'out came 1,200 words of pure angst'
That's okay! These two generate angst like an A/C in summertime. And we love it. :D

They'll do, for the moment.

Heh - that's fortunate, given what's left to come ... ;)

Thanks for reading! Next chapter's up, btw, and the one after that is imminent.

Ah, Peter. Always so very worried about others, aren't you? The poor boy.

Well, I think I've just about caught up. I need to look at this story more often, or I'll find myself reading three or five chapters in one sitting so I'm not behind anymore. ((sorry about all the comments I'm sending for older chapters))

Firstly, never ever apologise for reading and commenting on my fic :)

Second, there is one more chapter after this.

Third ... thanks for reading! :D

Angst FTW. This is a beautiful chapter.

The broken rafters above their heads are silhouetted against slowly-lightening sky; clouds scud low, stained muddy purple and carrying the threat of rain.

This is just a gorgeous sentence. Exactly in its place, and a perfect example of how to capture mood without using simile or excessive adjectives. NICE. And the segment in the house with the police after Peter is amazingly effective - it made me almost unbearably tense. You are really just incredibly good.

*slightly assholish hint: Please spell out "all right" instead of "alright"... as an editor it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I spank because I love.*

Thank you! I'm so pleased you liked it.

You realise that (a) my head is swelling uncontrollably and (b) you've just totally made my week? :D Thank you - really very kind comments.

Not assholish at all. I'm a real stickler for all things grammatical and such - I confess, because of the ubiquity of "alright", I had no idea that it was frowned on (but after your comment, I did some reading and ... oops). So sorry! I will go back and fix 'em all, because, well, gosh.

*is shamed*

I spank because I love.*g* That's OK - I love this sort of spanking. It really does ( ... )
