Thank you so much for taking the time to post such a lovely comment! I'm ready glad that the different shades were apparent; I was definitely try aiming for variations on a theme, all these different aspects of love--it's a pretty complex thing, after all!

(I'm also with you on the hardcore somethingsomething desire: I was really torn over whether to include it or not. I intended to when I began, but as I was writing I discovered that my focus shifted a little and I felt in the end it simply would have changed the emphasis of the ending slightly in a way I didn't want.

Nevertheless, I'm still longing to write Jack/Doctor porn.)
