This is lovely fic. Sad but lovely.

Yay for you saving the clone and for Jenny being determined to help him!

Lovely last line too

[reggietate]

Thank you :-) He was such a lost soul, he needed saving,

Lovely scene - I may have snivelled a little! And it's one of the reasons why I miss Jenny - she's compassionate and pragmatic.

[reggietate]

Thanks! :-) I miss Jenny too - I think the show was poorer for her loss.

Oh, I really like this.
I felt so sorry for the clone, knowing his purpose was fulfilled and thinking he had nothing left. No wonder he was so quiescent at the beginning.

"Alan Smith," he repeated obediently. "I'm Alan Smith. Are you going to kill me now?"
Wow. That was slightly heartbreaking; especially with the matter-of-fact tone added in.

Lovely.

Thank you :-)

I confess, my original idea was to have him self-destruct just as Jenny's starting to get through to him, but I couldn't make it work. He obviously wanted that life Nick offered him!

[goldarrow]

*meep* That would have been awful!

Yep, Definitely need two Nicks running around!

[reggietate]

*nods* I'm glad I didn't, in the end.

That was lovely.

[reggietate]

Thank you :-)

I have another fic to post tomorrow, which will be a little more cheerful, but I'm glad you liked this one.
