Wow, that was without a doubt the best depiction of their relationship that I've ever read. It was just transcendently beautiful - I know that sounds like a cliche, but it's literally true. Kudos!!

Great fic, really well told - introspective without being ott. And even a crime to solve as well! You need to write more long CI fics. I rarely find any more than a couple of thou long and sometimes you just NEED longfic. And when it's as good as this, you're dancing!

This story feels like having a conversation with someone through paintings. It's beautiful and complex and layered, but understanding it comes as easily as stepping back and taking a look. I'm so impressed and amazed. This is an amazing casefile, I couldn't stop reading. It isn't just entertaining, but gets you thinking, and then annoyed at yourself for thinking too much, but you keep going anyway because you want to figure yourself out just like Alex is doing. Bastian reading The Neverending Story comes to mind, going along on the journey with the character you're reading about, not realizing that you aren't just reading it but you're living it too. The one thing I didn't like was that I think you've spoiled that Absalom book for me lol, just kidding. Such a great read.

If they were to stay partners forever, well... I can see ads for the spin-off now, "Law & Order: Old Age Home".

"Bobby had been so transformed into the character he was playing at the time that he was on the verge of crossing over onto the other side of the law." This is a really great line, and it makes me wonder about Bobby's time in Narcotics a lot. The whole fate idea going through Alex's head in the last long paragraph is really interesting.

I like how full this explanation of Alex is. I don't think it sounds depressed or whiny at all, it seems very matter of fact. Well, time to read on.

love. nothing else, just love.

thanks.

you are the best fanfic writer i have ever read, well done and keep writing

This was a very good story.

Coincidently, this past month I have been contemplating Fate's role in my life and the courage to make changes.

I look forward to reading more of your work.

Best Wishes...

Absolutely brilliant. Now I can go find something else of yours to read.

*sigh* That's brilliant. Screwed up as hell, but brilliant nonetheless.

You're as bad as blucougar57, with the emotion-strangling thing. I hope you know that. *reluctant grin*

Whe! I feel better now. I hope nothing else bad has happened...though it probably has.

What the bloody hell? I really hope I've come to the wrong conclusion, 'cause that's just...*cringes and cries*

Another well done chapter. More books to add to my reading list. Plus, Discussion!Bobby, which--yay.
