I knoooow... as much as I salivate at the thought of being mean to characters (it's so much fun to write!), I still wanna sit poor Sarah down with a cup of hot cocoa and a fluffy blanket to make up for it. XD Thank you though. :)

Psst...it's Pescadero. And that's the only thing you got even remotely wrong. Not only do I love it - I can even handle the adoption storyline now.

Ahahahaha... how did I just KNOW I was gonna frack up something THAT simple stupid? It's fixed now. It's all better. Deslea ran a test... and Craft can remind herself that she's sometimes a ditz. XD

Really complimenting though... reconciling the movie and show is usually something of a goal in the back of my mind. Might be because I'm one of those folks that went bass ackwards and saw the show first. Glad to see this pulled it off. :D

I'm not sure that enjoy is the right word, that was a tough read, but it was certainly right on the nail in terms of character. I love fic that fills in some of the off-screen time so this is a more than welcome addition to Sarah's back-story. I hope you write more!

"Enjoy," is a bit skewed, isn't it? I have a habit of flaring towards Angst, so I totally get what you mean.

The scenes unseen are almost always what get the wheels turning initially for me, so I hope to scrawl a few more out that'll catch your interest. :)

Very nice. It catches the intensity of both the movie and tv Sarah.

Yes! Yes x 100. I loved this.

Perfectly detailed and toned to T2 with TSCC hints (chess, jungle, signing papers, Sarah's retorts)

The most difficult and painful part was the visit with John and when he called her a freak. Imagining he said that, which I can believe he said that by the way he explained his mother to the ginger mullet boy in T2 (lol), must have been unbearable to relive in that place. It puts the reunion scene in the cop car after they escape in T2 into new perspective.

Thank you for sharing --will rec

Hee hee.

The part with John was actually the most difficult to write. I knew I wanted it in there somewhere because of how guilty he seemed about not believing her while talking to robo!Arnold. I did end up basing his language on how he talked to mullet boy and I'm glad someone caught it; I'd considered having him cuss up a storm since his mom obviously had a mouth on her that could make a sailor blush, but he just didn't seem to share that trait quite so much in the film.

Thank you for reading. Always happy to see enjoyment. :D
