Thank you. ♥

I've been reading your stories for weeks, but I've never commented until now. I just want to let you know (although it's not like you haven't heard it already a million times) how much your writing is appreciated, how much of an impact your depictions of these characters has had.
Thank you for sharing all of it, especially this piece, which I know was unbelievably difficult for you.

P.S. - This may be irrelevant, but I'm sorry things turned out the way they did.

Re: Thank you. ♥

[leigh57]

Oh good god so am I. I keep waiting to be less sorry, but it hasn't happened yet. And it's not irrelevant at all. Something about knowing there are other people out there who feel the same way is comforting:)

I could not agree with you more. Anger and disappointment all but held me captive until I realized so many others were in the same boat. That was very calming and reassuring.

Omg This:

Lower, softer, blurry word bridges, edges shaved off.

waaaaaaah. This was so beautiful and painful. Not at all like my own mutant post 8x17 plot bunny.

Especially the end, when Jack realized that there was so much about her he didn't know.

[leigh57]

Augh your icon. I can't even.

This was so beautiful and painful.

Well thank you. I guess that's pretty much what Jack and Renee will always be to me now. Sigh. And I will hate forever and ever, world without end, all the things he'll never get the chance to know about her.

And neither will we.

What makes this super-sad in that J & R COULD have gotten to know each other after Day 7, if only Renee had returned the phone calls. *wibbles*

[leigh57]

Only a man could pen a script in which a woman repeatedly rejects phone calls from Jack Bauer;)

Beautiful, as always. Couldn't read the whole thing through at once just because it was so terribly perfect. I'm amazed as to how you can always write Jack so well regardless of situation.

Oh, thank you. Jack is the hardest character I've ever tried to write in fanfic, but I can't stay away from him. As I said, when it turned out that I couldn't talk about this in my journal, I guess I kinda let him say it for me as best I could.

Oh my gosh, this was awesome. You nailed them. Beautifully written, so sad. Sniffle.

[leigh57]

You nailed them.

Thank you! That's the highest fanfic compliment that exists, at least from my perspective.

I miss them so hard.

I want to read this but I can't *weeps*

[siricerasi]

This -_- Totally saving it so I can one day...

[ams87]

Watching new 24 will be painful. I hope he cuts lots of people. Meep :-(

[siricerasi]

For all of last week I was sure I wasn't going to even watch the rest of the season, but now I seriously want to see him kick some frakking ass and torture and murder a lot of people over her. Might make us feel a little better, yeah?
