*Oh*

.... Oh ....

I must have missed this one the first time around. Absolutely heartwrenchingly beautiful. I loved every painful second of it. And the best thing was that it wasn't really that painful: nothing really 'worked out', but it didn't horribly combust in destruction, either. Plus the idea of Zelenka doing that well on a military challenge was hilarous. /grin

Thanks so much -- I'm glad you liked it! I wanted to write something a little different, something that didn't go amazingly right or amazingly wrong, because that's just not things usually work out, y'know? And Zelenka, so much love -- he's like the little black dress of fic, in that he can do anything you want him to because he's made of awesome.

Thanks for reading. :)
