she recoils and leans against the back of her chair, realizing that this was his actual reason to show up now. Not the divorce, but the apologies, maybe the hope of being forgiven

I loved all of it, and most of all this. Because really, Michael didn't have to hand the divorce papers himself, and you explained why he has so accurately. This image:

he divorce papers are laid out on the kitchen table at equidistance between the two of them like some sort of untouchable item. There are two faint damp finger imprints at the top right corner of the documents, where he held them when he got them out of his pocket. He’s sweating

is nice, clair_de_lune, so vivid. The damp marks left on the paper...damn. *g* Nice touch.

And the last paragraph killed me. Send the paramedics. Guh.

I considered writing it differently, just Nika getting the papers and reflecting upon the whole thing, but I guess Michael would face the consequences. And on a different note, maybe it wouldn't have 'balanced/mirrored' the original story.

And the last paragraph killed me. Send the paramedics. Guh.

Um. Me thinks this is a sneaky way to have Sara talk to you and take care of you ^_^
I'm glad you liked that paragraph. I had a slightly different ending, a couple of lines with Michael actually apologizing, and I cut it off because with it, the story focused too much on the apologies part and not enough on Nika.

Thank you for reading and commenting. And for the plot bunny ;)

I agree, last paragraph is definitely made of awesome ;)

[clair_de_lune]

Thanks so much :D

Very nice clair. :)I like especially the idea that the divorce papers were used as means of apology to her in person. Very nice, its seems very much like something michael would do.:)

[clair_de_lune]

Can you imagine post-series Michael visiting all the people he caused trouble to (well, those who will be still alive) and pleading for their forgivness? Long trip *g*

Thanks a lot <3

Nice addition to the original fic and what a great turnaround in attitude on Nika's part.

That last paragraph? Perfect.

Michael's obsession to save his brother made quite a few collateral damages, didn't it, and Nika is only one of them ^_^

Thank you :)

i loved how you can see Nika's changing attitude between the two fics.

But what happened after? Whole different story. She wasn’t supposed to be stalked, threatened, kidnapped, interrogated for hours by the police and the FBI, put under surveillance and fear for her life.

I always thought dumping her on the side of the road was a abrupt ending. Thanks for filling in the blanks.

:]

I'd say that Nika had a hard time after they left her on the side of the road, if only because the police/FBI/whatever had a few questions for her (which was something Michael had to know right from the begining, even if the escape had turned out differently). Not to mention the Bellick stunt before that. She certainly didn't sign up for that ^_^

Thanks for your comment!
