So I know I promised finale discussion but I ended up having to work a 12 hour shift today so it was either come home and unwind and talk episode things, or come home, unwind and write post-ep fic. I chose fic, clearly.
Ugh I love this! The way you've mirrored those first two sections just ;alsdfj DEATH And her leaving and him watching her and that message and everything hurts.
She needs it, and it's his job now to protect her. To make sure she's better.
Ugh, I could actually hear Holder's voice when I read the section with the message, it was so very him.
Also...
He also doesn't tell her how two days in Carlson sent him home because he kept seeing fucking Jamie Wright's face every time he turned around and it messed him up so bad he couldn't sleep and they had to march him down to the shrink a coupla times. He doesn't talk about that at all, but Sarah looks him in the eye and says, "How you holding up?" And she touches his arm and he nearly flinches because she's not the touching type and because it's like she knows exactly what he's thinking.
Perfection.
And the ending was awesome and this is basically everything I wanted from post-season 2 Holder/Linden fic ♥
Thank you very much for that. I find getting dialogue just right to be one of the more challenging aspects of writing. Especially when it comes to making it really sound like the character. Much appreciated.
Oh man, this is so perfect. Characterization spot on, tone, pace, everything.
I totally dreamed a post-finale Holder/Linden fic last night. A lengthy one, with a mystery arc, maybe five or six episodes worth of material if I padded it out, and so PERFECT.
Then I woke up. Now it's gone. Except for the very end, which I can maybe work with.

Or maybe it's the other way around?

GAH! So beautiful, and so perfectly them. ESPECIALLY the phone message. And the end. And the beginning. And everything in between.
*standing ovation*

Gah, I just want ALL THE FIC in this fandom.
Which is to say: PLEASE WRITE SOME MORE.
