Author's Notes
"This story was written before the elevator at the loft was established as canon. I chose not to change the story to include its existence. Trust me, its absence is important. Special thanks to Diana, a terrific beta reader. Any remaining mistakes are purely my own." [1]
Reactions and Reviews
Donna always writes intense stories, based on the friendship shared by Jim and Blair, but this story is especially gripping. Blair is injured while on the job with Jim, and faces painful obstacles on the road to recovery. Both guys have to face doubts about themselves and their future. Donna writes very convincingly of Blair's struggle, and really knows how to tug on the heartstrings in her emotional scenes with Jim and Blair as they deal with the complications. Simon and Daryl are also prominently featured, lending their compassionate support. This is just a powerful story, with plenty of angst, smarm and even humor. A must-read! [2]
