Thank you! I was a bit concerned with whether or not people would get the twists and make the parallels to canon on their own, so it's not surprising, or necessarily a bad thing to hear you had to read it twice.

One of my betas suggested that I expand on this AU once remix was done, to make further connections with details like why Captain Sun was chasing Crichton, but I think the short answer would be ambition, hating to lose. Not so different from the other PK baddies on the show.

The passage you quoted stuck with me as one of the definitive Crais/Crichton scenes in canon, so I had to use it. *g*

Thanks again.
