Oh, I was nervous about reading this -- just for the content, that could have been way too disturbing (for me!) to read, possibly -- but I'm glad I did. I think you did a really good job with the crossover - it felt like the NCIS people I know as well as the bandom kids, and I really appreciated your tone and touch with them. It totally left me with the hope that Ryan would get through this as okay as he could, and just... yes. Thank you for taking an idea this challenging and doing it justice.
