Wow, it’s just way cool to know you found this story, gave it a read and even better, liked it!

I’m with ya in your assessment of Jim too. Ever since I saw him with that little girl in "Unfriendly Skies", I knew he was really a big ol’ marshmallow on the inside. And a guy who got burned by his ex-wife as bad as he did has got to have some pretty deep emotional scars.

Now let me see if I can answer your questions.

1) I’m really a Brass/Catherine shipper at heart but after seeing Brass and Sofia in "I Like to Watch", I got a major shippy vibe from them that just got stronger as the season progressed. The reference to Brass and Catherine in a previous relationship was only in the context of this fic however, if you’re interested in reading Brass/Catherine, I do have a few fics posted here

2) I’ve gotten many requests for a sequel but I sort of want to see how TPTB handle Brass’s return. Still, I do love h/c and it would be fun to write his recovery.

Thanks again for reading and for your note. It really made my night!
