You know that you're evil, right? i mean, Ii have a mind full of possible scenarios and plots that led up to this point - and followed on from it! - but nothing strong enough to grab hold of and say, "Ah, yes! That's it! OMG, awesomesauce!"

(though the awesomesauce still applies here and now!)

More, please!!??!!

Ooooh! Intriguing! Although I'm a little confused about why the prologue came 2nd?  Anyhow, this is well written and clever.  I'll have to check out your other work!

Author's Response: Thank you for your review! The 2nd chapter needs a new title, but it has to go in that slot to work with the first chapter. By request, there will be more to this piece, but in the meantime - hope you like my other stuff... :) BadCat

*dances* Oh, boy, oh, boy! *squeeeee!* OMG I'm in love!

But you know that already, don't you? I love the connections you've developed - in all your stories - between Max and Ames, in any and every situation in which you place them. I love the relationship on the sly, the way they will gravitate to one another, help each other out even after all that's been said and done, despite the way they were raised or have been taught to believe about each other and their sides and beliefs.

That is the beauty of it all :D 

But do you know what I would absolutely adore? I would LOVE to read the reactions of Terminal City's inhabitants. Especially Joshua - would his special friendship with Max withstand the 'betrayal'? Would he understand more than most because of the unique insightfulness and personality he possesses? And what about Alec? His friendship with Max allows him a certain edge. How would he and his feelings - friendship - stand up to the knowledge if given enough time to process things? And more than anything, I would love to know what might be going through Logan's mind.

So, did you deliver the goods? Yes. You gave me more of the pairing I love and hints and glimpses into them as a couple, no matter how strange that may be to some. And it works. 

But you left me with questions that now demand answers. So for the love of Mike and by the holy Snake Goddess, PLEASE will you answer them? :D Pretty please? With...Ames on top!? (though goodness knows that if you prefer being on top, i'm sure it could be arranged... :D)

Thank you for sharing this, sweetie! *hugs tight and danced another jig* I'm so in love with you!

Author's Response: Heh... your wish is my command. I'll add that to my list of things to finish - or start :P

Totally so very happy that you liked this. Now if Mike and the Snake could only help me write those extra chapters...
