Hiya! I left a long-ass comment on ao3 so here I will rate!

1. How in-character was this fic? 10
I thought everyone behaved in ways that made sense and also worked with their characterizations. Loved!

2. How well did this fic handle the prompt? 10
I already mentioned this - but the way you tied in "the eleventh hour" in many ways was really clever!

3. How much did you enjoy this fic overall? 8
I do think there were some parts where I wanted to fast forward slightly, but, overall, this was really excellently done. I almost wish that the alternate ending you mentioned (with K dead and F living) happened, the more that I consider it, but your ambiguous ending also worked. Thank you so much for working hard and sharing this!

Ahaha, thank you so much for commenting and voting - that's really awesome of you!

I agree that my pacing was a little off in some places, and if I had more time, I would have liked to have fine-comb it a bit more to tighten that up... but still, that's the challenge of writing for an event like the Olympics! :D I'm still relieved the ambiguous ending has been accepted, though I definitely would have liked to have written a coda or endpiece for it. Still, I really enjoyed trying something different with my writing, that's for sure!

Thank you so much for reading and for voting - it's so nice of you!
