Can't believe this hasn't got more reviews as it's really good! Love the relationship between John/Ray, and you've portrayed them both so well.

Magique! You’re back, and with a fantastic new fic. How is it possible that no one has reviewed this yet?? It's lovely, a brilliant insight into both John and Ray's background. Ray's background especially, we can see the evolution from great friend to archenemy, going at the perfect speed. His characterisation is perfect, identical to the show. And John is actually someone you can care about! Hallelujah! You even added a slashy hint here and there. :) Flawless writing once again, how do you do it? You are the one rose rising above all the other toxic weeds of fics you see in TB fandom.
