Fic - Sacrifices (7/7)

[cj2017]

Title: Sacrifices (7/7)

Rating: R: violence, harsh language, you probably know the drill by now.

Warning: The story contains the death of a young child right at the outset, and later scenes of violence involving a child which some people may find distressing.

A million thanks :-) I'm glad it all seemed to pull together for you. I realised about halfway through this one that I didn't have another one of these really long fics in me so I tried to wind some (not all, I'm not sure it'll ever truly be over for the Connors) threads up to give the series something of an ending.

thank you, thank you for all of your beautiful, epic, lovely words and stories!

:-) You are very welcome. Thank you so much for reading and for every bit of feedback you've sent, I really appreciate it.

I just red this chapter and I already miss it! I mean, I so like your stories and always want more... Thank you for doing such mazing job, CJ. The whole series is awesome.

You are very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the whole (accidental!) series and thank you for being so generous with your feedback :-)

She pushed herself up from the bed, her arms crossed tightly in front of her chest, a moan of pain slipping from her lips regardless. “I know I’m not bullet-proof,” she said, all the fight gone from her.

*WIBBLES*

“The fucking water hasn’t been running, Connor.”

“Shit.”

On second reading, a snarky "Fail" totally feels appropriate here. ;) Poor Sarah!

“Get some sleep.” His voice startled her, and she blinked in confusion before realizing he had somehow managed to steer her into their bedroom. He piled the pillows up to ease her breathing and she sank onto them with a sigh of relief. Savannah murmured and subconsciously inched herself closer to Sarah’s warmth. Sarah closed her eyes and felt Derek press his lips to her forehead. It was the last thing she knew before the relaxed breathing of the child beside her lulled her to sleep.

♥♥♥

“Do a serious face. Like Sarah.” Cameron pointed, and Sarah narrowed her eyes at the machine

I had those two scenes sort of planned in my head for so long (I think I started hinting at Derek's little meltdown-to-come in the last fic) it was great to finally be able to get them down.

The whole scene = HILARIOUS. I totally imagined Savannah going for Sarah's Institution Mugshot face. XDXDXD

LOL. As usual, no idea where the hell that came from, it was just a nice little bridging scene. And then the idea of Savannah being a mini-Sarah just seemed so perfect.

That, and a nice sleepout on the beach nestled against your honey and underneath warm wool blankets. I totally want one of those now. <333

Don't we all? ;-) Personally, I'd settle for a decent night of peaceful sleep and warm weather (I'm currently working nights in snow and Siberian wind chill!)
As I've said up-thread to illyria and lynx, your feedback has meant the world to me through these fics. So thank you :-)
