Re: Fill: Not State Secrets (Gen, no warnings, Finch and Reese, minor char)

This is so beautiful. Susan is vivid and real and awesome, I like how you nailed a voice for her and filled it out. I particularly like the 'let the lie float between heartbeats' line. Unusual image but it really works. And John's observations about waiting patiently for Harold to speak, and finally the honest feel of Harold's words, all very fine.

^_^ Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed it. I loved that woman from 1x02 and have been trying to find an excuse to write her for ages now. XD
(The between heartbeats thing is actually from precision shooting [which I know very little about], where to get the best accuracy you squeeze the trigger between heartbeats. I figured John would be used to that sort of thinking, spysassin that he is.)
