Just finished reading this in one shot. Just...wow. Amazing depth. You fit so much in it without pandering to the need so many authors (like myself) have of backstorying everything. A few pointed words or phrases and you dropped what we needed to know without having to take away from the pace of the story. The SG-1 team's responses were a fantastic roadway for that. The characters were never OOC, and you showed the natural progression of their development within such a situation as this. Very, very believeable. I commend you on your wonderful writing style.
Author's Response: Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Glad you enjoyed it. Just FYI, there's a couple more stories in the series posted on my web site: http://www.ltljverse.com/watergate/
OMfreakingG this is amazing! It hurts. It makes you shiver. It sends chills and longing up your spine. I am officially in love with this ficlet. Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing it.

A-freaking-men! I think that's one reason I love 'squick fics' so much. When two people love each other enough to show/do/be anything with each other, it shouldn't matter what the rest of the 'civilized' world agrees is acceptable. I think this fic is fantastic. Thanks for sharing *S*
This was fantastic. The little things reached out to grab you, the big things tore great big chunks out of your heart. Roy was perfect. Really, really perfect. And you couldn't have chosen an ending more fitting. Beautiful work. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us!
