I totally believe that is the real Alex. No more stories about hjm as a nice guy....orAlex will stalk you!!!! LOL I like Ryan in this one. As big a douche as he is Alex is worse.

This was a most fabulous ending to one of my favorite stories on this entire site. I would give you a standing ovation it you could actually see it. I am also impressed that it turned out to be exactly 10 chapters. I like nice, round numbers like that. But seriously, this story had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I was so intrigued by the mystery and the suspense. I am as satisfied with the conclusion as I was with the entire story. Well done!
Author's Response: Thank you SarahPlainandTall, I'm delighted you enjoyed the story and that the ending worked for you. I'm a big lover of mysteries and there aren't many written on this site, so I thought I'd give it a go. Thanks so much for your comments, I appreciate them all!

Oh Jazzfan, what a perfectly penned ending. Honestly, that was so well thought out and executed...I think Jim summed it up best when he was lying in bed contemplating having gone from mortality to immortality in the blink of an eye. I can't remember at what point I thought you were going here...at some point in the hospital though. I loved that you gave them such a happy ending after all that angst.
Let's hope that the writers of TO take a page from your book. :-) Again - what a great ride this was!
Author's Response: Thanks lovefool - I'm glad you thought the ending fit - because I was not at all sure I was going to get things tied up. (I probably wrote this last chapter half a dozen times) I wondered if folks would suspect the "Jam babies" ending (I did havbe that in mind from the beginning) - thanks for letting me know when that occured to you. I was afraid I'd hinted too early, but I guess not. I really appreciate the review. As to Jam babies on the show? Probably won't happen, but I'd love it.

Hooray for Jazzfan! I'm so proud of you. Excellent work, lady. Really.
Author's Response: Nan, you're waaay too sweet to me. Thanks for patting me on the head when I get crazy.

Hey, jazzfan! So glad you finished this and on such a lovely, satisfying note.
Now, because I love to make a list, I give you my fav parts:
1)Jim refusing pain meds because he wanted to be clear-headed to talk things through with Pam...sigh.
2)Jim’s reaction to hearing that he may have saved Ryan’s life…ha!
“I might have,” Jim replied matter of factly. “But not on purpose,” he added with a wry look.
3)Jim the naughty patient: "He amused himself by making the unappealing food on his tray into interesting shapes and trying to freak out the nurses in various ways, usually unsuccessfully. They were a tough crowd." This had me chuckling.
4)Pam’s appreciation of ‘Defensive Jim’:
“It’s normal to defend yourself, Jim. And truthfully? I kind of like that,” she admitted with a mischevious grin. “it’s kind of hot.” It most definitely is HOT!
5)And this line…so beautiful: "He had, afterall, gone from near mortality to immortality in less than a week, he reflected."
6)And to top it all off, you named the pooch, Voldemort!!!
Loved it all. Great story. Great Job. Now I have GREAT expectations for your next foray into fanfic writing.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks for the detailed review BA. It's always good to hear people's reactions to specific parts in the story, and you've given me that in spades. I've always considered Jimpert a pretty passive guy, and I wanted to explore how he would handle it if Pam was ever actually threatened - and this is what came out.rnI appreciate your comments, and if I were Voldemort, I'd be wagging my tail like crazy.

*sigh* I love a happy ending. You ended this perfectly and didn't leave any stones unturned as to what happened with Ryan and Alex and our favorite couple. I read something you wrote on the forum today, about how your goal was to get out the last chapter of a story that had been kind of a burden or something--I totally 100% know how you feel, because I'm in that same position...but I commend you for sticking with this. I know it's hard, but you did such a great job!
Author's Response: Thanks BigTuna, I'm glad you liked the happy ending. I'm a sap at heart. I wouldn't call getting this done a "burden" so much as it was difficult for me to figure out how I was going to deal with all the loose ends I'd created, and it started feeling a little like work. Totally my lack of foresight, but I guess this is a learning process, eh? Beering you strength and perseverance on your story as well. We'd like to read the conclusion.rn
