No wonder this sounded so familiar to me when I started reading it, I betaed it! *facepalms* Good Gods, my memory is getting really bad. Oh, well, it was as great a read the second time around as the first. :) And I still wish I had the money to produce a TV show with you as one of the main writers so there would be something truly worth watching, instead of just things with the potential to be good, if only...

=) Heh. I wondered, when I saw your other message about it. But I'm glad you enjoyed it again! This is one of those fics I knew from the start would get very, very limited attention ... half the fandom seems to be solely Wash/Nate focused, and the other half Maddy or Skye and their various potential partners; Jim is way out on the fringes, and it's a fringe fandom to begin with.

BUT. I couldn't help but want to fix and/or highlight a few of the problematic bits from the show! And doing it through the lens of Jim's love life just kind of... fit, given how drama-drama the show itself was. =)
