This story doesn´t need any more work because it´s perfect. I love it, it´s one of my most favourite fics. I don´t know why but I love a jealous and insecure Donald, perhaps it´s that I can picture him so good with his big, hurt, puppy eyes? :-)I am with Don on the fundraiser and feel so with him. Don´s desperate try to stop Timmy speaking made me cry, but it´s a good cry. But of course our Timmy know what a good catch Don is. I love the ending two years later very much and it made me smile.I think that more than one man or women not think bad about Don but envy Tim for his beautiful partner!!! Please, please set your other stories free too!!!!! Thank you for writing :-)

I'm sorry I'm so late answering your comment. I'm happy you like the story and that it made you smile; I wasn't sure what people would think of it. I wondered if I'd made Don too heartbroken or too needy.

I working on finishing a few more stories and will post them as soon as they're ready. Mostly, they just need endings!

Like Ursula, I don't think this needs any more work at all. I loved reading it and have now read it 3 times just to make sure I didn't miss anything. I really like stories that take place early in Don and Tim's relationship where Don shows his insecure side (which I think is probably exactly the way it was for him). I have been dying for some new stories, so keep them coming. Pretty please??? I'd even bribe you with a lollipop if I could.

I'm flattered you've read it so many times!

The younger Don is nothing if not insecure. He's got tons of bravado, but like a lot of people, he hides behind it. It's a good thing Timmy knows exactly what he's doing!

No lollis needed. I've got a few more fics that just need endings, and I'll be posting them soon.

I remember this particular baby bird and am so glad you pushed it out of the nest at last and let it fly! Lovely little angst fest with the perfect ending you never fail to deliver. I really needed this tonight!

Remember how much more we thought I could do with this story? I honestly wanted to make it longer and more involved, but something told me that would never happen. I guess not everything is meant to be finished.

I'm still grateful for all the suggestions you made when you first read the story. Thank you for that, my friend.

If this is one of your stories that need work, I'd love to see one you consider "polished." Lovely piece, and I wouldn't change a thing.

[storyfan]

Thanks, Candy. I still see bits I would change if I had the ambition, but I'm glad it holds up OK as it is.

"He was watching me, and he wasn’t smiling. We stared at each other across the space, and I knew what he was thinking. He was comparing me to the people around him. I stuck out like a cactus in a rose garden, and he was finally beginning to understand that

Thank you for pointing out all the lines you liked - that makes me feel better than you know.

I'm so glad I decided to post this story. Your enjoyment of it means a lot to me.
