This story is massively awesome, and I appreciate you taking the time to develop it so gradually and beautifully! I was worried for a bit in the middle when it looked like Tim had disappeared from the story, but then there he was, back at center stage and SO VERY TIM.

I love how you handled all of the OCs, their complexity and depth, and I thought the balance of humor and seriousness was right on, perfectly appropriate to the story. Thank you for sharing this!
