How sad to think that a man would turn on his own brother like that. But the love between the Cartwright brothers is very well-captured!

A+++++++++++++++++ Pony!!! I've never read this version before. I love the added bits about there being peace on Adam's face and about Joe's hands still being scarred. Absolutely one of the best fanfics I have ever read!
Author's Response: Thank you, Elisha! The revised ending (scars) was very important to me. Like Joe (and just about everyone else), I have also been scarred by life, but those experiences have contributed toward making me the person I am today, and for that, I am thankful.
