Oh, wow. I read the first story grinning like a loon because it was just so perfectly them -- and naming a child for a deceased mother makes my heart swell.
But the second story -- that's the gem. It's so easy to make Kavanagh a cardboard villain, someone to loathe without any layers or complexities. And here you show us those complexities, opening up both him and Miko, making them sing in the quiet moments. Everyone wanted Sheppard to win, which makes you forget that Kavanagh loses.

These are wonderful.
