Why This Must Be Read: One of my favorite stories, The-Lady-Isis goes all out in this story, putting the characters through the wringer. Watching both Bruce and Diana learn to deal with one another's foibles and preconceptions is fascinating, just as watching the bond of love, trust, and respect between them is both heart-wrenching and heartwarming. Both Bruce and Diana are real in this story, and prove just how human they really are. Especially Bruce.
