Anyway, I adore well written historical Jack, and you deliver. Not only that, you write beautifully at the same time, with a sparsity of words I envy. Your imagery is flawless -- I had an outerworldly feeling long before it became clear they weren't anywhere in Europe.
Your OC is very, very good -- and I'm not usually a fan of OCs. However, Cramer is professional, very much his own man, and his observations make the picture of Jack that you paint starker. Jack, as a result, and because of the way you write him, is younger, less secure, more hurt, but still just as much his own man, and this is the sort of comfort I expect him to seek.
That is the last thing I want to say: kudos to you for having Jack seek out comfort, instead of being the one giving it. Inspired choice, original approach, very much one for the favourites folder. Thanks for sharing.
