Never in a million years believed I'd see Morse married off - and credibly at that!

It's been an immense pleasure reading your story. Thanks.

interesting, interesting, go and make the fans proud of you, goo goo go

What a wonderful piece of work. Had to go and watch Driven to Distraction last night before I could finish reading this. Certainly captured Morse very well and Siobhan is just lovely. Really enjoyed it, thank you.

Yay for bringing Joyce in! I always loved the surprisingly warm relationship Morse had with her.

/"Aren't you going to ask me what my first name is?" / Wow. That's the ultimate in getting close for Morse. Terrific timing.

/He could sense in her that they had talked of it enough./ Very Morse, to feel that.

And the end is beautiful. You do such a great job, staying in Inspector Morse-style, and keeping him IC!

Only, you messaged me a link to a lewis-story, and the link got lost. Could you tell me where it is?

It's a terrific chapter from start to finish, but those two last lines are staggeringly perfect.

/Even with their phone calls, she had wanted to put pen to paper... to craft a note. / An almost forgotten art, and a precious one. Totally IC for Morse to be enchanted by it.

/And come Monday, when Strange asks you what you've figured out... tell him I got a new record or something."/ Oh, yes! I did wonder about Lewis asking Morse for a drink, but of course.

/He knew then, listening to her play, that they were moving toward being comfortable with each other. / You've a lovely way of crafting the progress of their relationship. And they have so much in common!

Wow, where have I been, missing this gem until now? Looking SO forward to more. I love the way you've developed her character, that vulnerability underneath her professionalism and apparent strength. And his steadiness, hiding under his vanity.

I am so loving the Morse angst. He really would make it difficult for any woman. I'm glad Siobhan is trying. This has been great.

There's a really nice slow burn to their relationship that feels totally in character for me. I'm realy enjoying this.

What a perfect Morse last line!

And I loved the whole chapter. Good to see him get the girl for a change. And it must be true love. I mean, Morse listening to a pop station because it's *our song*?

Lovely job.

/Police Reporting Procedures / Poor things. Hearing about paperwork, and that makes a nice change from doing it?

I really love the way they work up to what they feel for each other. Very Morse.

And I was going to read&review chapter 57, but that started with the mention of this fic. I'm easily distracted by something shiny.

I like the way you are writing this. Very in character. I kept waiting for Morse to end up alone, like he always does in the series. Well done. The tone is very like an episode. It feels like Morse.

Excellent last line!

I love how you finally got Morse a girl! Mhmm - the passion, the buildup is there and your portrayal of Morse - his hesitation, his indecision, his oddly endearing chivalrous attitudes.

It was sweet and romantic and definitely worth a reread.

Loved it. Really excellent job with this fic.

Thank you so very much.

I really enjoyed this. I'm glad you built up on the the "thing" that was in the ep with Morse and Maitland. I liked that character a lot and she was more than a match for him. Thank you for sharing. I hope you are planning on some more fics.
