They're a strange couple, really... I mean, both commanders of some sort, and both always forced to make decisions that could cost someone's life... eventually the life of someone they love.
Very nice little vignette; loved that insight on their strange yet special relationship :)

[krisrussel]

Thank you! And you are absolutely right: theirs is a very strange yet fascinating relationship.

Awwww, this was adorable! Great work!

Elizabeth crossed her arms in mock disapproval. “What? Acting all tough or having me worry about you all the time.”
CUTE!

[krisrussel]

Thank you!! :^D

Yeah, blame Kolya. It's all his fault. Besides, he's just a big old Sparky plot device. Everybody knows that.

I can see John being just this way. Very good characterization.

[krisrussel]

Thank you!
My biggest fear is going OOC, so I'm glad you think it's good characterization.
And yeah... Kolya is a big old Sparky device... but then again: Kolya is a big old Sparkie ;^)

Thank you :^)

Very very good. Very well written.

Their dynamic is fascinating and you've captured it here. They are very close to each other, feel more than they should for each other and are constantly doing this dance around all that.

Thank you for the very nice comment! You make me want to write more :^)
Also comments like these tell me in what direction to go.
So again, thank you!
