Wow, this is utterly amazing. I love the complicated interplay between the two relationships, and the way you are slowly setting up the tension between future, and past events. I also really adore the way Patrick Shepherd has an almost atavistic sense of how his son has changed, and kinda senses the reason why in his subconscious but really doesn't get it in the light of day. It's very prescient, a little creepy, and very Papa bear of him. I am hoping a doctor will sort his a** out very shortly. I love his character. I am always surprised, and tickled with whoever you end up pairing him with... and then John, and Rodney. Laughs joyously, and they compare each other to twinks, I got such a kick out of that.
Poor Danny, he was almost heartbroken when he discovered that Jack was still married. Then Jack pulls him out of his spiral, comforts him. Happy sigh. Also wildly curious about how Charlie is going present as different. I am also going to enjoy seeing a mischievous Oma popping in and out. Though both couples having to wait to become formalized, is strangely synchronous. Is that on purpose or just the way the story rolls? Anyway, this is a wonderful saga in your series, and I am enjoying it immensely, thank you. -SB
