Yep, this was me! Except...possibly the first few lines, Mom might have written those.
Eliot and Lindsey was my pride and joy in this fic - it's an idea that's been touched on before, but I'd never seen anything substantial on it.
Although, I confess, I was a bit nervous about this whole sequence - Eliot, Hardison, and Parker walking home from the hospital all the way? I mean, I did take a trip once to Boston, so I know it's a twisty-turny kind of place, but the entire sequence and idea just felt a bit unnatural to me. I had similar feelings about his heading to the hotel.
But a lot of Eliot's scenes in this felt a bit odd to me - they had to happen this way for the plot to advance, and I tried to ensure that they happened as smoothly as possible.
I do think I hit upon an interesting point in Eliot's relationship with the rest of the team, that part of the reason he likes them so much is that they let him keep his secrets, and acknowledge that they all have demons in their past they'd rather leave there.
Also, I think this was the scene where I realized that, honestly, writing Parker is kind of fun. Mom and I wound up sharing Parker-duty a lot in our writing, but I was the one who actually enjoyed it the most. She's never felt terribly comfortable writing her.
