Oh, this was just lovely! I think Damien would make a wonderful lawyer, husband and dad, and I really liked how he got drawn into talking and opened up to everyone in a way he doesn't get to do on the show all that often.

And you absolutlely nailed Rachel's voice - I could totally hear her in every line. She seems like a fun character to write too. Great to have some more Damien fic at last - thanks for sharing!

I really wanted Damien to have a good moment and Rachel is fun to write but it's hard to understand her on the show (because sometimes she's all business, others she seems all bitch)--so I opted for business.

Damien said he wanted kids in season 1, so that's part of where this came from. And I think the situation was strange enough that he'd keep talking. I found it fun that Carmen and Pindar helped in their own ways.

I think Damien is every bit the romantic Peter Bash is (without the song writing)--recall the orchids for Hanna, but he'd definitely be quieter about it.

Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to comment.
