*blush* Thank you! This was a difficult story for me to write -- I don't do the straight-out action-adventure stuff very often, so I'm very happy that you enjoyed it, and since you're so good at doing action scenes, I *really* appreciate the praise!
Hey -- by the way -- what is the "ficathon?"
A few months ago, one of my friends and her family lost their house and belongings and pets in a fire. They have two special-needs children and she's a self-employed artist (meaning that her means of making a living went down the tubes as well), so they were pretty bad off. I invited financial contributions to help them, promising contributors a custom fanfic in return. Several of the fics that I've written over the last few months ("Old Soldiers", "Shattered Things", etc) have been in response to various prompts that the ficathon contributors have given me.
I have to do another one for the "Old Soldiers" donator, though, because what I wrote wasn't at all what she asked for. *laughs* That seems to be an ongoing theme with me when I'm working from a specific request ...
