Dropped on over via the ME comm. This is not a pairing I'd normally think about but you've done an awesome job of making them work together. This is a lovely read, dragged me right in and wouldn't let me go. Good work :)

Thank you! It's not a pairing I had considered much before but that's why I like writing for someone else's prompts. :)

Thank you!

I have to admit, I side-eyed the pairing but you really made it work. You've got a fabulous writing style, and your description of post-war London... perfect. :)

Thank you! I admit a fondness for pairings of this kind so I'm glad I could make it work for someone with doubts. ;)

I've actually been kicking around the idea of this pairing for various reasons; I LOVE this. :D

he's got twice her experience and at least half her share of flaws but perhaps that's the best thing about him

Oh, it's a great pairing now that I've been digging into it. And I'm so glad you enjoyed it; it was fun to write.

I bookmarked the link from the ME comm, but only just got around to reading this. And wow... so well done. I never would've considered this pairing, but you made it work beautifully and it felt so in character for both of them. I appreciated that you never glossed over how difficult the situation is; that really made it feel solid. Such fantastic writing, thanks for sharing!
