Oh god.

I'm broken.

You've broken me.

I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face and it hurts so bad, but it was written so well that I don't really mind too much. Absolutely devastating and poignant and brilliant and gut wrenching and just damn good. I can't even find the words to tell you how magical this was. WHY can't she stay, dammit?!

No ... no ... I get why she can't stay. What Callie did to her was all kinds of wrong and Erica didn't deserve that. BUT WHY CAN'T SHE STAY ANYWAY AND MAKE IT WORK!?!

God this fic makes me ache. And it hurts so good.

Thank you for writing it and for sharing. :)

It feels kinda wrong to say I love this feedback, but I do love this feedback. Thank you!

I'm so very glad that you enjoyed this piece. I wasn't sure how well the emotion was going to convey, so I'm happy it worked out.

Thank you so much!

You broke my heart with this one. I'd been jonesin' for a new Callica story and this one was brilliant, but DANG!
Wonderful writing and great job pulling the emotion out of such a short scene between the characters.
P.S. Any update on IWTCO soon? It's one of my all-time favorites.

I'd say I'm sorry for breaking your heart, but since I was kinda hoping that this would be heartbreaking, it's not entirely true. :)

Thank you so much!

As for IWTCO, I'm really glad you like it. I am and have been working on the next update, but I've been in a emotional state way too close to Erica's in the last few months, and it sort of sapped my enthusiasm a little. I'm starting to feel a little happier about going back to it at the minute though, so hopefully I'll be able to get the next part finished soon. I think it's going to be the hardest chapter on my own emotions, so once I do get it out of the way, I hope that the continuation will be smoother. Thank you!

That was incredibly poignant. You captured the raw emotion perfectly. How I wish Callie could have come to her senses earlier and perhaps salvaged the damage she caused...but alas, Erica's heart was already shattered. Beautifully written.

Thank you so much.

I really wish that Callie could have been the woman that I so loved and tried to make amends for what she had done before it became irreparable, but the best the show left us with was a way for them to say goodbye, in the end. I wish that we could have at least been given that.

Thank you!

It would've been nice to have seen at least this much on the series, at least *some* attempt by Callie to salvage her budding relationship with Erica, but no. Thankfully, you've written some of the words that have been in many fans' hearts since the whole Callica thing went to hell in a handbasket in what seems like a century ago.

Your pov started with Callie and then shifted to Erica, but that didn't harm the story in the least. In fact, it looked like maybe the shift was intentional, so readers could see both sides.

In any case, nicely done. A sharp and painful look at how REAL people deal with bad times.

Oh, and I liked your use of the phrase "relevatory tears." I mean, I liked *a lot* of your phrases, but that one stayed with me. I guess it's because they *were* so very relevant to Erica.

I would have loved to have seen something like this. Callie had done too much damage for it to be possible to fix things between them, I think, but I never bought either of these women as people who would just walk away without some kind of resolution.

I know it did, and you're kind of right, it was sort of intentional. By which, I mean that it actually happened accidentally that they shifted the storytelling, but I really liked the way it worked, so I kept it. Plus, I'm a big believer that third person gives you that flexibility.

Thank you so much. I'm so glad you liked this.
