Ah, this fic is so quintessentially mrwubbles. Very lovely. Johnny's desperation in the first part is palpable, so that even if you know there's no way he'll let Roy fall ... you still think maybe it's gonna happen anyway and you'll be right there with Johnny. Broken and gutted.

And then following it up with the lovely comfort, which the show never gave us much of.(It was the 70s. Apparently only Starsky & Hutch were allowed to comfort each other. They maxed out the quota.)

Nicely done!
