I read this on my phone last night at a godawful late hour with no coherent reply other than "YAY" and now I've waited all day for the chance to actually put that joy into words.

Firstly, I'm wickedly delighted to see it evolved into more than just one extra part! You know I can't get enough of these boys and the way you write them is so mmph. I love all of it: Nate getting upset about all the secrecy, he and Desmond's gun-finding game (while Shaun watches!), Desmond finding clues through Eagle Vision, and the adorable pile they make tangled together at the end. Poor Desmond, my heart's just aching for him. I hope he can hold onto them (and they to him) long enough to get through this.
