Oh, so much pain and guilt between them!

This is really well done. I especially love the first one, because yeah, John's not nearly as careless about things as he sometimes pretends.

Thanks. That's actually the scene that I couldn't get out of my head when I wrote this: two men (smart men) giddily recounting the ways they'd tested the personal shield. It was such a fast friendship, based on such a ridiculous premise: that both would have enjoyed and gone through with those tests. I wanted to show it grow from there through the eyes of others.

Awww.. these are all wonderful. Especially #5 .*sniffles*

Thank you.

I'm glad you enjoyed that one. It's the most piecemeal of them all, so I was concerned about how it would work. Glad you got the tone of it. Thanks!

Yeah. They were not normal guys, and their instant friendship fit wonderfully. :)
