*sniffle* Ooh, I love your angst. I can't believe it's almost over. But, I guess mental health first. I could see how this emotionally gripping story may be taking you some dark places. It know it's steering me in that direction. But, then I have a little angsty monkey on my back, jonesing for a constant fix.
So, at first I was thinking that Albright was playing Erica, which she totally is. But, it’s truly a win/win for everyone except Webber. I loved how you had Erica standing up for her convictions and refusing the job for the bride it represented. Yet, you carefully took the reader through acceptance that this really is best for everyone. That Erica wasn’t bending her will, that she really could be the most effective change from the inside. What’s that cliché gandi we all love, “Be the change you want to see…”
So, I’m thinking they’re just taking a four month break? What a gut-wrenching ending to this part. The declarations of love didn’t give us the happy we wanted, did it? But, it’s something real and honest. It shouldn’t have to be so hard, and they’ve both stumbled so much.
spirit about Callie that was like a balm to all of her wounds I loved this comparison between Callie and the babies. I admire your ability to create such detailed scenes for us. The infants squirming in discomfort, Erica reaching out her hand but hesitating because of the resident down the hall, Webber staring blindly at the glass in front of himself, the nurse purposefully not looking at them…WOW. And those are just a few. I’m just floored by how this story plays out in my head. Honestly, when I think back to the previous installments, the church-like structure of the hospital, the rain on the bench and Bailey with her umbrella, Callie dropping her feet from the bench in the locker room. Even though I haven’t read those chapters in days or weeks, the visuals just stick in my head. I want to learn to write like that.
So, thank you for an amazing chapter. Really just gorgeous. I know the last part is going to be so satisfying. And I know I’m being totally greedy (sorry), and it’s way too early. But, you are thinking of writing more later, right? *nods*
Yet again, this chapter went someplace totally unexpected. Again, they were supposed to just make up and have sex or something, but stupid Albright popped into my head, then it was all 'dude, if Hahn takes the job, no happy endings.' So here we are.
Yep. Four month break. I'm getting my fucking happy ending. Truthfully, I contemplated ending it on that sigh, but then I figured that was a shitty way to end it for those of you still reading. And you're right, it shouldn't be so hard but the show itself built their relationship's foundation on quicksand. There's no way they could have just settled into coupledom, not without some drama. Lots and lots of drama. *Sigh*
Honestly, when I write I just write. It's not until I read the comments, in particular yours, that I realize that I've actually managed to capture something interesting or unintentionally but effectively used symbolism. So I'm deeply appreciative of your feedback. I think it's made me a better, more cognizant writer. While I mainly still just sit down and write, there are moments (like the hospital looking like a church) that I've written with a purpose and that's in direct response to the feedback you've given me. So again, thanks. That's the 'uh oh' factor. I figured that out, by the way, it's like a student getting a test back from a teacher, wondering what the grade is going to be, if they did okay. I'm glad you liked this, but you're an excellent writer. I'm taking my cues from you.
You're extremely greedy. Hehe. No worries. I'll come up with something, hopefully with less angst. I have this new obsession with Erica's mother. Yes, Erica's mother. I've already got a little something jotted. We'll see how it takes shape.
Thanks for reading and taking the time to give such awesome feedback. You rock.
