I actually really like this. It's a little ooc for how I see Murdock, (But that's just how I see him, he's very open to interpretation!), and it honestly hurt when Face chooses to talk away. I disagree that it needs to be part of a larger story - as a stand-alone piece it works well!

This seems like the start of a possibly interesting story, but it needs some fleshing out (and not just of the explicit kind-I mean more detail, more development of the plot).

Great story! Very well written. Face and Murdock are my favorite pairing. Poor Murdock...How sad that Face can't accept his true feelings for him. Ohhh...I wish Face didn't leave Murdock all alone like that when he was so upset. Please write more soon. A sequel maybe? o)

Hello. May I offer a few suggestions? Lose the phrase, " crying tore (at his) his soul." This vignette seems to want to go somewhere, but doesn't actually DO anything. I realize that you think the characters can stand by themselves, but they can't, unless you give them some direction. I know that you can, as you have studied them. Try to make each story a "stand alone." Keep writing.
