This is such a brilliant story! I love how you fleshed it all out and it is so nice to read something from before Five-0 came to be. Also, I like the medical accuracy, very nice!
Thank you so much for writing this and sharing it with us, you are the best 3

Awesome story. Loved it. You did a great job blending the timelines.

are you going to upload another story that continues from the purple heart? the first two stories were really good and i would re-read them over and over again

Can't wait for your next story!

Really loving your story!

Another excellent fic. I really enjoyed pre-5-0 SEAL-Steve and his meeting Cath for the first time.

i liked this chapter, but i wonder how Steve could know that Catherine won't take *** from him when he has spent one day (and yes, one night) with her. Seems a little quick but i of course love them as a couple.

Just would like to applaud you on a great story! Really love the depth of each chapter and how far bak you. Truly mesmerizing and heartwarming how you decided to highlight each even that may have taken place during Steve's time on Active Duty - Navy. It's not all the time I get to see a writer pull off writing very deep about the military. So thank you for that!

There's a few innacurate information, but no harm done; won't call you out on it. I'm an actual Naval Officer who spends her downtime readinf 5-0 fics. Great story!

Lt - USNR

I think this is my favourite Hawaii five-0 fanfiction, I've completely fallen in love with it! I've read it multiple times, and it's still as good as I remember it being. Thank you so much for writing this!

Wow... I didn't realise that Steve McGarrett actually owns the Purple Heart in the show until I've read about it on a fansite. That would be a perfect episode to see how he got it.
And if they would to such an episode, your story would be perfect! :) I really enjoy reading it. I'm just done with chapter two, but I already love your explanation how he could have got the Purple Heart :)

Ooo more special desserts! Great ending!

I'd like some of that very special dessert too please :-)

This is a truly amazing story. Thank you so much for giving us all this new side to Steve's character. Best story ever!

Great end of this story, I hoped that Steve will be back with his team to catch people responsible for those attacks, but I wasn't disappointed ;-)

This was another one of your great stories. I enjoyed it very much. I just love Cath and Steve together.
