Sigh, I'm all happy. Kelly and Scotty are happy--what more is there. I really liked the progression of this story, using Mom's in Philly as their touchstone when things were rough.
Kelly's need for structure and family evolving into his love for Scotty until the time when Scotty knew that he and Kelly could be together without it being one-sided and demanding.
Loved Scotty's anger at Troy and his thoughts about the letter opener!lol. You explained their psyches so well, Kelly's fragileness, his glossy exterior hiding a wealth of pain and Scotty's sweet nature and caring attitude over the intense anger he had at their betrayal.
Very good indeed, Stanley.

I read this in the Yuletide archives a few months ago - but wanted to post a comment here too.
So glad that you reposted this, and hope that you will write more I, Spy fanfiction. I enjoyed this a lot; you have your characters down (although I am relatively new to I Spy-dom, I can still read this as completely believable!)
Cheers! Thanks for writing!

Someone on our Robert Culp board (Culpalicious) posted the link to this I Spy archive site, so I checked it out. Hit "Random Story" and got this one, and I'm forever glad I did!
You're a wonderful writer, and know Scotty and Kelly very well. I have to admit, I'm not sure if I would've continued reading it if I'd known it was slash. For some reason, S/K has never appealed to me. However, you lead up to it so well and so in-character, that it wasn't startling in the least for me. In fact, it was quite believeable.
I'm looking forward to checking out the remainder of this site, and hope to find more work by you. It's very refreshing to find a fanfic author who writes so well technically, has stories that move along well and knows the characters so well. I wish I could write Kelly and Scotty, but I'm still too new to I Spy to give it a try.
I hope some day I can write them even half as well as you do! Thanks again for a great story!
