this was lovely. it's the only word that comes to mind right now. i liked how you managed to tie everything up so we got our desperately hoped for happy ending. ;) and look, you've still got enough loose ends to do a sequel. *points and grins* will john screw up somehow and damage the trust rodney put in him? will kavanagh show his evil side and try to make life living hell for them? will the air force brass have something to say about one of their officers being openly gay? so many possibilities. *nudges gently* :)

but seriously, i love your story and how you explored the finer points of bdsm. and it was beautifully written, which made it a joy to read. thank you very much.
