good.

woah that was very interesting i had to read the reviews then reread the story very awesome work :)

Interesting twist. You really had me going. Thanks, Beth

My thoughts as I read (well, raced through cause I wanted to know what in the world happened to Don) it the first time:

"What the hell? Alan, Charlie don't be mean to the poor guy! Why you being nice to the dude who shot Don?"

The hospital scene then confused me, so I finally went back and read it properly, knowing the truth.

So, a fic that messes with your mind the first time around? The best kind, i say. :-)

Okay, you really had me going there. :) Really cool twist.

Incredibly clever! Loved it!

I had to get it twice to see the twist, because I really did think it was the other way. So you got me.

Good job

Haha, that was great! I had to go back and read it again... not a story you can read in a hurry! Excellent!

I did have to go back and read this a second time to get the full effect. I think it was brilliant. You had me completely fooled even after the reveal with Alan spaeking to "Don". Nice to see another story from you.

What a killer twist. I was sure it was Don to the rescue and some stranger threatening Charlie and Alan. I had some suspicions thought as to the way the 'intruder' was reacting - he felt like a cop which confused me a little. Turns out I was correct, it was the real Don.

What a great and original concept having it told from the POV of the real attacker, a bit scaring knowing that he was that far into his fantasy of being Don that he died surround by 'his' family confused that they didn't help him but helped a 'stranger'.

Good stuff!

I'm a big fan of your stories and you really had a nice twist at the end of this one. Loved it!

WOW! This weekend I was going through your previous stories wishing you would post a new story soon. I was missing your creative writing. Seems like my wish was granted. Thank you! I loved this latest fic. The plot had a nice twist.

Best,

Isa

Okay, so if there are two Don Eppes - I'll take one!

Seriously, so glad to see you back with another great story. What an amazing twist! Had to read it twice to be totally clear, but, it was a wonderful concept. But, then, I wouldn't expect anything but that from you.

Thank you for sharing this one with us. And I hope the muse stays with you for a while.

Good one. Nice to see you with another fic too. The emotion of not letting anything happen to his family, and fighting even when hurt is so Don. And no, I think that we might be pleased with two Don Eppes- more to look at- but I don't know if Charlie could take that. Or Vice Versa.

Yipee a new fic from 3rdgal. Nice to see you whumping don as always. Normally a lurker but had to write a review to say thanks for the new fic nore to come I hope now the muse is back.

Thanks, Minifish.
