Chillingly beautiful.

this is the first fic I've read on this website in a long while and I'm glad I did. It was very prettily told and your characterization of Will was perfect.

Damn. That was. . .good.

UPDATE! It's really good

I wonder if he's drunk. It's possible, I didn't keep track of his drinks either, but somehow I don't think he is. There's just something . . . unsloshable about Will. Steady and rock-like and sober. I can't imagine him losing control, not in any way. I've never seen him raise his voice, even. Not that he'd need to. He's far too good at the quiet-authority-thing.

If he's drunk, he got that way on purpose. I know it sounds odd, but I'm rather flattered.


I like this very much. I love the tone, thier voices, and I really like your Jane and Will. In a comment on one of your other fics I mentioned Sad Little Look - I'd like to put in a request to archive this one, too.

Oh! I adored this! Firstly for obvious Jane/Will reasons, but mostly because this is a caliber of writing that is rare within this corner of fanfiction, and you've absolutely blown me away. Will is absolutely as I imagine him, and Jane is perfect, too.
"If he's drunk, he got that way on purpose.  I know it sounds odd, but I'm rather flattered."
Yes! That's exactly the sort of thing I'd attribute to Will!
I have a lot I'd like to say, but no idea how to say it. I guess you'll have to settle for a resounding "Thank You." Please no that I hope to see much more from you. Maybe even how the "little while" goes. Thanks for sharing your writing!

Really, really excellent fic. Looked for Cooper fanfic on a lark, and your stuff is clearly the best of the bunch. It's a realistic take on how complicated things would be between them, and the dialogue was dead-on -- they know each other too well to need lots of words and explanations.
Now I'm off to fictionaley to find more of your work.

Thoroughly enjoyed this story. Love the Will/Jane pairing, and there is not much (well-written) fic for it.
Liked that you didn't do a conventional "happy ending". This one seems more truthful to the characters, especially Will's.

So true. Brilliant dialogue - no words wasted, both in the writing and in the speaking. Everything says something, from the 'later, much later' to the 'I say something stupid.' It's the tone that does everything for this story.
Oh, and I think there's one typo in the second paragraph ... nothing big, 'gentlemen' instead of 'gentleman'. Just thought I'd point it out.
Anyway, really well-written. There are almost no real Will/Jane stories out there, and it's great to finally find one that SAYS something about them.
