I can totally picture that. It's sad and sweet at the same time.

This is my absolute favorite story. I love that we can just get a glance of the relationship between these two.

I love this story, and all of your other ones, never stop writing.

I adore this very sweet, very tender moment between the two. Slash is something I don't approve of as a general rule, but you make it work so amazingly beautifully. I love all of your works. Thank you.

aw, poor malcolm.

Such a bittersweet story! I love your patented prickly yet vulnerable and oh so lovable Malcolm who is still quite realistically dealing with his abusive childhood and still searching for a definition of love and an understanding of what it means to be loved. You present such a mature Trip who is, under the circumstances, patient, considerate and loving. I must be having a hormonally-challenged day, though, because as I read the story I kept wondering what would happen to this Malcolm if the shift he wants to get some rest for was the day of TATV. None of the scenarios that came to mind were good ones - and they certainly didn't include going right back into space with Captain Archer like nothing had happened! So, Sita, you take good care of the boys, now, ya hear?

Aw bless! I think I'm more in love with Trip & Mal for reading this than I was before... and I'm not sure that's even possible! Keep going?

Aww, that was quite frankly lovely. Yeah I took a break to come online and root through the fic lol - takes off the exam stress lol.

Anyway I'm rambling (as per usual *sigh*) great story, Trip just needs to hang in there I reckon, given enough time Malcolm'll feel safe with him *nods*

great story!

BEAUTIFUL story! I loved it.

Such pure angst, such genuine emotional hurt that leaves the reader understanding the source of Malcolm's pain, and yet deeply yearning to go back in time and actually see and experience him going through the pain.

You packed a lot of feeling into this short story. I truly felt sorrow in my heart for Malcolm. But over all of his emotional pain, you brought light and tenderness through the love of Trip. That was so excellently done!

I hope that you will also consider posting this tender story to the MakeBelieve archive.
