That's WONDERFUL!!!! I love the character-voices, excellent job of getting into Nathan's head. He's a hard character for me to write as he's just at that line between laid-back and defensive/protective. Very good combination you've done here.

Excellent concept as well! Thanks for sharing!!!

When I remember to think of Nathan as a character in his own right, he's terrific fun to play with! Not sure why it's so easy to dismiss him as the resident box of band-aids, but I think I should work harder to see past that in the future.

I'm glad you had fun with the fic - thanks for letting me know your thoughts! :)

Okay - my first thought is - more, please?

You did a great job with bookaddict43's prompt. The reason for Nathan's con was completely believable and Ezra jumping in to help unasked was great.

[quietcontrary]

Thank you! *g* I think Ezra always likes a con, even if he's not the one who thought it up or the one who stands to benefit. It probably appeals to his inner actor...!

[tygermama]

I think you're right!

The stage lost a great actor went Ezra decided to stay a lawman...

Oh, this was brilliant. The dialogue was spot on, and the reason you gave for Nathan's actions felt very in character! Ezra, too, was a hoot!

[quietcontrary]

Hee! I'm glad you thought it all worked. It was a fun little fic to write :)

This was a lovely fic, I really like to see Nathan and Ezra getting on - quite often they don't in fic and yet it's there to see in the show from time to time. I like how they work together in the end, and I really like your portrayal of Nathan.

I love the idea of Nathan and Ezra working together. It makes me sad in fics where Nathan is used as the bad guy for no discernible reason. This fic was a whole lot of fun to write! :)

bravo!!

Hey, this was fun!! I was just thinking that I wanted to read a story where Nathan and Ezra get up to some mischief. Your Nathan is very true to character and I like his voice. Thanks for this! And thanks for letting anon users comment on your stuff. Sometimes I want to thank you guys and it won't let me say anything..
