"he's earned his peace - let him go" scenario. I do like it, but at the same time I'm also one of those people who can't believe that Tom can just let it go. He'll always have issues with his conscience, but at the same time by not doing something when he has the power to help must hurt more (?). It is a hard call to make because I do think he has earned to right to rest and will not return to MI-5 unless some unforseen circumstances occurs (FANFICTION). It is one of those tough decisions because I do believe that once you leave the Grid you can't return to it (though others may look upon you).

I'm all for fanfiction for the simple reason that Tom leaving was not due to a great inspiration in script writing so much as the actor was moving onto some other projects. Furtheremore, it is fanfiction, um, that's why I read it in the first place ^^;;
