Murphy was very awesome in this fic, and I'm glad I was able to make her badass and insightful. I've seen female characters become bitches or fag hags or whatever, so I didn't want to fall into that trap. I'm glad that she came across as herself. :D
I'm also glad that the reasons behind Bob keeping silent worked for you. The second fandom I ever wrote in was Quantum Leap, so I'm familiar with a slash pairing that can fall in love, but be unable to touch. Where Al can't do anything to bring Sam home unless he Leaps directly into Sam, the only way that Bob can see an end to his curse is if Harry does the unthinkable, and to him, that's not an option.
And hee, I totally didn't realize the Bob-Tony similarities there, but given how Harry and Steve are both boy scouts in their own ways, they would need an arrogant, darker soul looking out for them.
You're very welcome. I knew you were having unhappiness IRL, so I figured fic might help. And I'm very glad it did. <3
