SQUEE! for the Bujold shout-out with the quote on reputation and honor. I *loved* that particular discussion between Aral and Miles.

The element which resonated the most for me was 'something to live for, or at least to die from.' I've always gotten just a little bit of that vibe from MM. Once I read 'Doomsday', I thought it might have been attributed to losing his partner (trying not to do any spoilers) but you know what? This works just as well.

Great job. Thank you for sharing and as always...hope there will be more someday.

One of the things I really enjoy about your writing, BF, is your sheer straightforwardness. It's a good, clean read that pretty much grabs you by the collar and yanks you into the written world with no apologies. I can't wait for more of this one.

Good Chapter

Oh. Is there more? I want. MM meets Ida. a very different kind of love story?

Good Story
