omigoodness! i haven't been so happy to see an update in what feels like eons! ^_^ i'm definitly loving the way this story is going. its a very real and true-to-character way that these people could sort out their pasts and find a happy future. i'm a shameless romantic, i'll be the first to tell you, but i just hate seeing writers give the character's their happy endings without resolving the big issues that prevented them from getting there in the first place. this is going to be a very good resolution for happiness, i can tell. but pleaz... UPDATE! XD

wonderful story. very well written. I hope you continue it.

Okay, so I saw the summary and said: "Pssh, like that'll work."
But I love Marcus, so I decided to read it anyway. Now I'm convinced you used to work on the show! Your grasp of how the characters talk, how the events have shaped them, the realistic decisions of Marcus and Susan on if they should, or shouldn't continue their relationship, is just fantastic! I love your series, please write more soon!
(please please please please)

This is a sweet story! And I'm glad that you're keeping everyone in cannon; especially John! Commondeering Audra for Spaceforce One would be in his list for good ideas!

Wonderful, I must say!

Thank you so much for writing this! The short story JMS wrote left me with a bad taste in my mouth--he seemed to be forcing the characters into a "happy" ending without any concern for them, and making Marcus behave unethically to the sort of extreme that I just couldn't accept--but you've truly wiped that uckiness out for me. I 've decided that your story is my canon M/I ending now. It has such maturity and quiet, earned joy in it. I feel like you've fully respected Susan and Marcus and given us them in their full, complex awesomeness. I particularly like the way that Marcus' return has spurred both of them on to finding out what they really want out of life... I'm at once happy and scared for Susan and the stand she's making by outing herself as a telepath. I was so enormously pleased by the respect Marcus has for what she's doing, the way that he remembered what she's wrote and recognized its important. I also appreciate how the price of their joy is present everywhere: in Susan's guilt, in Marcus' physical challenges. It feels honest to face those things, and it makes the joy sweeter.

Great writing! Thanks for updating.

One of my favourite stories - finally updated! Thank you for not abandoning it! It's actually a brilliant update, and I loved reading every line, so spot on, so perfectly balanced - I really hope the next chapter is coming soon!

Yay! More story!

What can I say, but brilliant as usual.

Hey, just got through reading all your stories, and I must say, I like. Some of them could use a little editing TLC however- the ones that jump out are "Moments of Infinite Clarity", which is very good but needs someone to read through it and correct spelling and other such trivalities, and this one- Great, but at the beginning I was very confused by the jumping around in the timeline (a little year-date at the start of every chapter, just to know where we are, would have gone a long way.) Also, it needs to be finished, though I can see it's been a while. ^.^

Enough of the C/C, they're all very good (personally, I rather like "Mother"- That woman will be the death of him, indeed.) And as with everyone else I read, you have my unconditional and enthusiastic commendations for even having the courage to post your work in a public forum- you'll notice my profile remains empty.

I would just like to say, this is probably the BEST fanfiction I have ever read. I cannot wait for more! Seriously, I was on edge, I loved every word, and more the once did I have a tear in my eye.

"Great work" doesn't seem to cover it.

I can't wait to read more of this story! You're doing an incredible job. So many wonderful details (I love the part about Ivanova's earring, for instance)...so very realistic (I'm really impressed with your total command of sensory details--all the little things that go to make the world real, like that description of Marcus getting his hair cut). It all feels much more real to me than JMS's alternative. You've got me on the edge of my seat! :)

Oh my... Andra's a bit paranoid! Of course being an artificial personality (A much better one that Garibaldi wound up with on one episode--he shot the computer), she has the right to go by her programming. Please continue, I can't wait for the next chapter! And at last we see Susan and Marcus getting together!

Very well done!

"I'll take the ship, nice of you to offer." She chided him. lol. andra is so cool. more please
