I LOVE IT!!! And very well done for a first fic in the fandom :)

Yay, I'm glad you liked. It's always a bit daunting to start out in a new fandom, but I'm pleased that it seems to have worked. I have another Colby/Ian bunny, but it's part of a big litter and I don't know which little bunny will get picked first ;).

Laura.

Thank you so, so much for my wonderful fic! I would have been excited by new Colby fic of any description but to have it Ian/Colby and post-Ultimatum almost made me explode. And then with added angst and handcuffs - I’m surprised I’m still able to type, to be honest. ;) Oh, and just for the record - brilliant title!

I love the character insights you give, not only into Colby and Ian but also Nikki. It makes a lot of sense that much of what attracted Ian to her is also why they wouldn't ultimately work out. And I grinned rather too widely at Colby's oh-so-inexplicable disappointment at Nikki's conclusion re Ian and relationships. Oh, Colby.

I liked that Colby thanked Charlie specifically, and it also gave a chance to hear Colby’s thouhts both on having a gun shoved in his face and his analysis on how things might have worked out had Ian not backed down. Very interesting, and probably exactly how it would have gone.

Grasping for an explanation, Colby said, “I was just thinking of something for my report

Ok, so things seem to have ground to a halt here and I've been desperate to reply to such lovely feedback all this time, so I'm going to de-anon myself ::waves

Hi Laura, and thank you again! I meant to say in my original feedback that my prompt was something of a stream of consciousness of different aspects of Ultimatum reactions that I'd like to see; I didn't expect that they would *all* be filled, so you did absolutely amazingly to cover as much as you did!

...Colby has the inner steel, but a calmer exterior, so he won't be pushed around, but he won't be too demanding either.

I agree with your take on Nikki/Ian but the latter part of your statement particularly interested me because for me, it's a large part of why a relationship between Ian and Colby (and also Ian and Don) could actually work.

I just wasn't brave enough to tackle the characters until a moment of madness had me sign up for this and then I just had to get on with it. I had wondered about the impact on an established relationship, but I do love writing first time fic, and it added a level of uncertainty that an established couple might not have.I'm very glad you did sign up! I think I followed the same route as you;
