this was great, you portyrayed their characters to perfection!

Yes, a past worth telling . . . and very believable - in an interesting format. Well done!

I luv this story! I never really thought much about their past until I read this.

This was kinda sad but was a good story )

and your right they each need their story told )

I admit that I've always liked Mrs. Jones, and I very much liked this piece.

Wow- I like it. You know- I've always hated Alan Blunt because of the way he treated Alex(blame Anthony Horowitz for that) but this gave me a new perspective on him and Tulip(hahaha) too. Keep writing ohter stories please!

*wipes tears* Sad. I love the way you gave an insight into Mrs. Jones' head & how Blunt was before he became the head of MI6.

This is definitely my favorite Alex Rider fic yet.

this was a great story. An interesting look into the possible past between mr. Blunt and Mrs. Jones, I usually don't read anything that has them as a couple but this story drew me in. I love that both characters only allow their emotions to show subtly, because it actually fits with the characters as we know them in the books. The only problem I had was with the last section with Alex. I always had the impression that she genuinely cared about what happened to him, and Alex wanting to kill them seems off as well.

My first thought when I was reading this was "aw". But my first thoughts don't always make a satisfying review so here I go:

This story was interesting, and not in a bad way. I have never thought of Jones or Blunt having a past relationship before, however platonic it was. I also didn't have the imagination to think of Blunt having to deal with SCORPIA. It was original and shocking and very well done. I love the ideas now that I think of it.

One typo I did see was:

"'You always did manage that particular mask quite well you know, Mrs. Jones, even for an MI6 operative, he whispered quietly."

You missed the end quote after "...operative,".

But as I said before, well done, I really liked it. Thanks for writing!

OMG! I LOVE this! it is SO well written and i just love the story line! You always wonder what their pasts are like! Keep on writing!

I don't know if there are words enough to express how much I loved this. So perfectly Mrs. Jones. It was subtle and clinical and observational. I loved it!

The gradual evolution of their sort-of relationship was amazing. I...honestly, I can't even begin to tell you what I loved about it, because it just struck a chord. The scene at the end was the best end I could've imagined-you kept the focus on Mrs. Jones, but you included Alex as well (and perfectly in character!).

This goes to my favorites, where I hope others can find it as well :)

Happy writing,
