Really love this story, it is beautifully written and also with skill especially from Tariq's tiny introduction. There is not enough Tariq love out there so thank you for writing this. I love the bit when Ros catches what he is saying to Jo - LOL! Need mroe Tariq fics. This is fab!

Haha loved it! There's the typical Ros we all love, and heaping of Tariq too! 3 He needs more fanfic love :)

I am very very impressed (unlike ros) You have manged to pull up an entire story based on about 10 words, bravo! I am a massive tariq fan , its good to see a break from the unsmiling white and humorless faces in the grid so please carry on with elaborating his woefully underwritten dialoge. He struggled with his parpicipation in the asian lads death (we saw unshed tears)so perhaps..?

All in all brilliant, maybe get some of the others opinions of him in there and you will become my idol!

This story is brilliant, I really like that you've written about Tariq because, as he is a newbie, he is not yet quite accustomed, I think, to the ruthlesness that goes with the jobs of those around him (that may not make sense, I'm ill and when I'm ill everything makes sense :D).

So it is great to see what an (almost) outsider thinks of the team, especially Ros, as I can imagine she would take quite a lot of time to get used to!

Really liked this, short and sweet and well written!

Interesting and good way to introduce Tariq.

Any more like this would be greatly appreciated:)

That was brilliant! I was cacking myself laughing at Tariq's reactions. I suppose Ros is a bit in-your-face if you're a newbie...

I loved this so much. I feel sorry for scared Tariq, but it's a natural reaction! I like Jo's honesty and her attempts to be helpful. I actually cringed in embarassment for the guy over the whole 'lose the t-shirt' thing. You've also managed to wrap up the Sugarhorse storyline better than the writers. I wish I could write stuff like this after watching a 15 second YouTube clip!

I really love this! I love how you've captured just how scary, but, at the same time, fascinating Ros must be to anyone who meets her for the first time. I think you nailed Tariq's hesitancy to do or say the wrong thing brilliantly. Plus, your Ros was, as always, perfect. Great job!
