Beautiful vignette. These two people are so messed up, it breaks my heart. Touching portrait of two great characters.

This is stunning. I love the contrast between how smooth Don is on the outside and how obviously a mess he is on the inside. Gorgeous writing. The description of Joan as a jewel is beautiful.

Wow. I have to say, the episode this was based on just about killed me. I'm happy this is out here; this is beautifully written.

This was so well written. It was a pleasure to read, it would be great to see different encounters between them as well written as this. :)

The only thing better would be an M rated version of this fic. Perfectly written, though. It's probably my favorite ship out there.

Good read, im working on a Mad Men/The office crossover and good stuff like this is very inspirational to come by :)

So amazing! It was a joy to read this.. It's nice to read a fan fic thats well written for a change. Absolutely loved this, thank you.

This story is brilliant, loved it... Wish there were more Don/Joan FF out there because I love them :) :) :) :)

Amazingly well done, and the ending is perfect just the way it is. As much chemistry as these two characters seem to have (look at The Other Woman to see what I mean), I cannot see these two characters in a truly romantic setting. If anything it is respectful admiration and affection, which you have captured so well. :)

I have been craving something like this since that episode aired. So this was just insanely satisfying.

You've captured the characters so well, especially how Don sees at Joan. And the overall mood is well done, so sad and just a little rambling, perfect for Don's frame of mind.

"Her name is rendered reverential by his tongue as he whispers it into the space between them, and even there, it barely has room to exist." So lovely!

The ending was perfect for the story, for the characters and for the show in general. I love the idea of a close friendship between those two, maybe more, but I wouldn't change a bit of this.
