I like your take on this ep. It would have been interesting to see how Carter dealt with John if she had spent that time with him and Taylor. And I can see him going to visit Elias like you have here...your having John showing real restraint. Loved it.

God this is so well written! the dialogue is perfect

That was just perfect. I always wished more to John and Taylor becoming friends
Thank you.

Very good, I wish they went into more details on what happened after they got Taylor.

Like guys, they loaded up their arms and got all the bags in one trip - so true!

loved how this tale showed Reese in all of his complexities - how he could be tender and a terror, just like the contrast btw the 'home' scenes and the prison.

Congratulations and welcome to the Careese fandom!

Very Nice! I always like it when a writer starts with canon and embellishes it. Really liked the tenderness between John and Joss just before he leaves. He's a big softie and we didn't get to see enough of that on the the show. I also liked the scene at the end with Elias, it was very much in character for John.

I really enjoyed your take on Flesh and Blood. The ending perfectly fits John's persona.

Revealing how they all thought about being a permanent part of each others lives, made this good.
