Found your story while surfing for stories focusing on Ryan since that's where my next one is going to focus. This deserves all the high praise it has gotten. You capture both Ryan and Gates beautifully, a rare feat for Gates especially. Now that After the Storm is showing at least the hope for a better written and more likeable Gates I can only hope more fanfic writers will write her like you have. Nicely done!

Great story! The voices of each of these characters are perfect. I have never liked Gates, but this paints her in a more sympathetic light and rings true for her character. I loved the Dumbledore quote at the end! Enjoyed listening to your podcast (part I) with Nicole. So happy to have found your stories ... looking forward to reading all of them! Thank you for sharing your imagination, your time, and your writing talent!

Ha! Snappy ending. I struggle with seeing Gates as a 3D character, so I appreciated this take on her.

Just wow. This is easily one of my favourite post always fic. It's sad that no one really gave Ryan credit when he was the biggest unsung hero that ep.
I was originally reluctant to read this cause it's not Caskett, but now that I have, I'm glad I did. It was a refreshing take on a plausible 'behind the scenes' scenario. Loved the way you captured the characters voices. And the dumbledore part- certainly unexpected and hence a very pleasant surprise! Keep up with the good work!

Why am I not surprised that Ryan instantly knew that was HP! Ha, this was great. I actually like Gates and I'm so happy with how you portrayed her in a few lines of description and dialogue.

Hahahahaha
I never read HP but that was AWESOME.
And I love it how he was feeling about this. Because this is Ryan and he is special and I love it how loyal and protective he is.
Wonderful, wonderful story!

I loved this was great to have something different (no matter how much I love Caskett) and I especially loved the Dumbledore quote :o) thanks so much for posting. Kaz
