phwoar.... THANK YOU. there really aren't enough fics like this.

Her voice is disgustingly pleading, and even now she can’t seem to get it right. She’s read somewhere that overcompensation can be more damaging than none at all, and she’s starting to think she’s living proof.

Chase shrugs, the darkness she’s been seeing in his eyes since late spring lurking very near the surface. “I don’t particularly care if you prove it to them. Prove it to me.”

GOD. That is just so... right. Amazing job.

Thank you! I'm so glad this came across as well as it did. It's a dynamic I've been struggling with for a long time, and I'm rather pleased as well.

And I agree, there are not nearly enough Chase/Cam fics.

I would like to publicly thank maypirate for bringing you back and causing you to write this fic, because this was brilliant, Michelle! "Satisfying" is really the perfect word to describe this - I haven't felt this secure in Chase/Cameron since the season finale. And your Cameron was absolutely perfect - wanting Chase, and wanting so much to not screw this up, but screwing up anyway... because of one slip the tongue! Her regret was palpable and very well written. I also got a certain satisfaction out of "knowing" that last spring, Chase didn't have a problem with the sex in inappropriate places - he wanted the relationship. *hugs Chase*

there’s something prickly in the way their skin feels today, crackling like static, like maybe this is meant for the camera too but the image isn’t
clear.

...Perfect.

Dude, I did nothing. This was all her. She just likes to tell lies. :p

You lie too! You already claimed the lines you were responsible for when I sent it to you for beta last night. =p Silly.

I pointed out *one* line that had something I'd implied. That's hardly claiming anything. :F

Wow! That was really, really great.

I sort-of disliked that scene when it first aired (basically because I thought it was promoting HAM...stupid PTB) but this kind of made me love it. Ugh. So good.

Oh god, I HATE that scene. I told people I was going to stop watching the show after it first aired. (And then of course promptly forgot that I'd said that the next week, but hey.)

Anyway, this fic was sort of my way of dealing with all the ways in which that scene bothered me, so I'm glad it worked out well. Thank you.

"He is so so different from the man she thought she knew six months ago." Indeed!

Love this, and as always you have them in character. Already on my favorites list. Whenever your muse suggests more Ch/C "physical activity" please go with it!

Aw, thank you!

I'm actually working on something for Christmas, although we'll see how high the rating ends up being. Also, there will eventually be smut in The World Turned, but I have to get there first.

“Not like that.” Chase comes up behind her, movements fluid and silent and almost dangerous, reminding her of a gold-furred cat

She’s almost a little jealous, because she’s not sure whether he’s really changed, or just made the world think he has, but it’s more than she’ll ever accomplish either way.

I so loved this 2 sentences!!And I love your style, it is so particular in the way of describing feelings and sensations.
I hate that Cameron is still not able to appreciate him, he so deserves that. But you were able to stay very IC, and show the regrets that cameron has for herself in this period.
Hope I'll read something else from you!

I think Cameron does appreciate Chase, she just kind of sucks at showing it. And she knows she sucks at showing it, so she tries too hard, and that makes it worse, and it turns into a vicious circle.

Thanks so much for reading!
