I'll comment on every. Chapter of this marvelous fic. Just want you to be aware that you shouldn't be discouraged by the lessening of comments. Many people will not comment on subsequent chapters of a WIP unless you are a BNF(big name fan). You can have the most wonderful fic (like this one) and no one will say a thing...mainly because they are wary of WIPS--burned by too many people abandoning a fic--or because they feel their commenting will become lacking.

I liked Moran a great deal. As you said, he can't be OOC since he hasn't appeare on the series yet. I also like that you were able to do this series of flashbacks without it seeming forced.

Eagerly awaiting some more glorious John h/c.
