Ah... ::waves a hand:: Shakespeare did it all the time. *G* Nah, Brian - Brian's a good guy but he's a little too concerned with his bust and (possibly) the career boost to worry too much about Blair.

I'm enjoying your commentary enormously, making me giggle out loud with glee because you have such great insight - mostly spot on to what I was going for but also stuff I kinda knew, you know, that stuff that's there in the back of your mind when you're writing (or when I'm writing anyway) but that doesn't necessarily come out in the story that you're seeing anyway, which is thoroughly splendid of you. :o)

I have to admit, I haven;t been back and re-read it for some time. I'd tightened it as much as I could in the writing process (this was done as a WIP over 2 years as I'm sure you know) and before the beta, then it was being beta'd quite a while and I've almost forgotten a lot of the early stuff. It seems so very long ago.

Simon, Julie, Peace, McKinnon, Demidenko and co. So many loose ends, there just wasn;t time. Saving it all for the sequel (lol).

OK, on with the second bit...

Oh, Simon. He really invested a lot into getting Blair his spot in Major Crimes and really was disappointed that Blair was so lukewarm when he saw him at the Academy. Poor Blair, everybody,Daryl, Jim and Simon, was so busy projecting their vision of how Blair would be as a cop, that they refused to see what was really happening, or having any empathy for Blair's real situation.

Oboy, a sequel? You really do have a lot left to work with, with the door just opening for Jim and Blair.

And Naomi has finally grown up, hasn't she? Putting Blair's needs before her own, which when she was such a young mother, I have the sneaking suspicion she didn't always do when Blair was a kid.

Glad you enjoyed the commentary. I enjoy doing it this way but I don't always have the time.

Laurie
