I have read this so many times. I cannot remember if i reviewed or not. This is addictive. The length and flow and detail is amazing. I have the sequel opened ready. Thanks heaps for sharing

A few bumps in the road but a fluffy rizzles end, loved it;-)

I like the plot but its so long winded that I've had enough.

What can I say... The story is a bit underestimated because it lacks of dramas/sex/teletubbies.
But personally I liked it, it was in my opinion more real, more true than "I always loved you, yeepee perfect couple story"
Their thoughts and ways of dealing with the change of relationship (hesitancy, need to set boundaries etc) were really interesting. Thanks you writer!

You still must explain the kidnapping ?

Still nothing on the kidnapping attempt !?

JANE must be soaked from the rain !

If someone is after MAURA, then the last thing she should do is be on her own...
JANE has something too do, " Who did she shoot and who hired him " ?

No guard on MAURA ? The one question JANE would have telephoned over the weekend with and
the the first question she would ask monday morning... " Who did she shoot " ?

What happens to JO ?

You are correct, one full season before they split up on TV and for the same reasons...
Congratulations... At the end of series 3 CASEY changed from boyfriend too stalker, which made all
their time together in series 4 just a cringing mess... GRANT was the school bully so you can understand why she dumped him for CASEY... Why she almost slept with him is a mystery, when
all I wanted her too do is punch him... MARTINEZ did not have a chance with CASEY around...
DEAN had a chance until DOYLE... CAMERON ?

You did WHAT? :-(

It always comes back to "it's complicated" and I realize that I'm part of a minority here, but I don't see why it would have to be. Maybe I'm too used to viewing things in black and white.

Smooch. Smoooch! Moan? Slurp!

You are slandering cheese in your A/N, and I don't like it. Cheese is a staple of the American Diet and therefore a good thing.

Honestly, Maura running alone makes me nervous. It's like she has a kidnapping habit and just can't help putting herself at risk again and again. I don't mean "habit" as in "it's wednesday, time to get grabbed" but more like "addiction".

"...didn't always make SINCE?!" Ouch!

It's a wonderful thing (and totally in character) that Clueless Jane is worrying about lipsticks and jeans when her best friend is a dedicated follower of fashion and could tell her EVERYTHING in three minutes flat, if she just had the wits to ask.

Nice description of her anxiety as well. Walking the plank, indeed. And on the other side of the door Mau is wondering if nothing means anything. IN FRENCH! That's like Peak Frenchitude.

Is it just me or does "fudge clusters" sound like something that is one syllable from being a full-on Tourettes outbreak?

I love that the kiss is awkward. They expect this sparkling firework and thing of wonder, and it's all teeth and noses and awkwardness. That is a rare thing in fiction, just like people stumbling over words (or thoughts for that matter).
It's realism, and that's a nice change of pace.

Good definition of "throw pillow". It's a ranged weapon for sure.

I get the sense of old plumbing making clonking and groaning sounds, as Janes body reacts to Maura sleep-pawing at her abs. It's been a while since that faucet was open.

I feel stabby towards Angela. Argh. And Sister Callaghan. ReArgh.

Good contemplation break as Jane hides out in the morgue. Also that feeling of "I'm dating her. I am dating HER. How the cluck did that happen?" and the weirdness which is rizzles dating; We're having a DATE on Friday. Every day until then we'll be doing dating things under a different name and sleeping in the same bed.

This is actually a deeply weird OTP.
