Oh my goodness, haha. That’s so good, and so definitely something Jane would do. Excellent characterisation! Now when do we get the sequel?

So it was saying I couldn’t review chp 3 because it isn’t part of the archive? Anyway, this is another champion addition. You’ve got the gore & the romance & Rake & the battlefield... even Dragon. Lovely.

Great setting for an AU and nicely written. I have a partly written fic (for the Potential prompt, actually, oops.) that has them in the military, because of course they would. I think no matter where they are in history they would wind up together, fighting the good fight.

I liked the party setting and Ivon and Theodore, and the shared cigarette. Lovely stuff!

I love this so, so, so much more than I can say. As Kyra said, it's SO ridiculously perfect - their characters just *click* perfectly into this era and the situation you've put them in.

This is one of those stories that has SO much potential - I actually dreamed about this last night, and I've got a whole novel planned out for you if want it, lol. Jane and Gunther meeting up after various dog fights, comparing kill scores. Post-battle arguments and -cough- stress relief. Slow burn love story, except it's not because life is short and they could be shot down at any moment - and then he IS. Gunther is taken as a POW and Jane leads the charge to liberating his concentration camp. The reuinion scene is beautiful, I tell you.

You know you done good when you've got people fanficcing your fanfic.

Excellently done, beautifully written, totally girl-squealing over here.

Thank you for such a RIDICULOUSLY AMAZEBALLS contribution to Janther Week!

JANE AS A FLIPPING FIGHTER PILOT?!

This is seriously the most perfect AU of anything, ever.

I am so in love with this. So in love.

Not only the concept, but it was flawlessly executed too.

American!Jane / British!Gunther!? One would expect that to result in some STELLAR banter, and you didn't disappoint.

Possible favorite line (although there are many contenders): "I'm still trying to find one good thing about Britain. No luck thus far."

I love that he's NOT bowled over by the sight of her in a gown... well, not at first. Or at least, he doesn't THINK so. And yet, by the end, it's an image he can't get out of his mind. Subtle. Well done.

I love that she's a surprisingly good dancer, and that she's the ONLY PERSON there who actually wants to hear his ideas about the upcoming invasion, and that, in the face of her unexpected interest, he suddenly clams up, all *I don't wanna talk about it now*

OMFG get over yourself Gunther Breech!

Oh and the thing with the drink was great - that she can so thoroughly annoy him without any intent or even awareness present lol

And the ALMOST KISS! *SWOON*

Thoroughly enjoyable, start to finish.

Looking forward to seeing what you've done with the rest of the prompts. NOTHING wrong with keeping the spirit of Janther Week alive! :-D

Just now catching up on this— I like how you’ve placed them in this era— it really does work!

Hey, sorry for being late - I am still trying to catch up here.

This was very well done, I enjoyed it immensely. I love your characterizations of Jane and Gunther - they are spot on and don't you just love them so much? *squeals* Their interactions show the strangeness of this ...new turn in their relationship... so very clearly. Fantabulous.

I know JW is over, but I hope you still have more! Thanks for such a wonderful contribution!

I don't see the link here..and I was sad because I wanted to write for this week but lost the prompts!
Very interesting one-shot. It was very well written brilliant work! I could see this taking place, and the doubts swirling in Jane's mind. Well done!

OUCH. There's a lot of hurt here, and the physical damage to Jane's poor hand is only one facet of it.

Jane feels things deeply. She's going to be ripped up about Timothy's death for a long time. Gunther will grieve too, but he doesn't have that added weight of guilt.

He's... I don't know if he's angry with her as much as just disappointed, but he's not happy with her in any event. But still he tended to her wound, took care of her. That's significant.

Their conversation is so halting, so unsure, but so honest and vulnerable too. I really can see this being a turning point in their relationship. This could have worked just as well for "Potential"! Because this tragic event might have the silver lining of opening up a new avenue for them that never would have come about otherwise.

Looking forward to seeing your takes on the other prompts!

Very nice! I like your title, too. I think you probably have taken the most direct/literal approach to the prompt that I have seen so far.

I like that Gunther has a wolf on his armour. Something about them just suits him!
