Poor Connor and his terrifying nightmares. :( I can imagine how haunted he is by the deaths of Stephen and Nick! This was wonderfully written and I look forward to more of your stories!

Thank you so much! I didn't start out to write an angsty fic, but it wanted to go there. I'm glad it worked for you.

I've been re-watching the beginning of season 1 recently, and you're right, he really has had to grow up fast.

Thank you very much!

Oof. My heart. D: Poor Connor...that was so vivid and so terribly haunting in that most wonderful way <3 Lovely work!

rustydog July 23 2009, 17:07:30 UTC

Oops, hope you're heart's okay! But thank you, I'm glad it was vivid. :)

That's so vivid and scary -- and the last line packs a punch as well!

One small point -- it's Stephen and not Steven *g*.

rustydog July 23 2009, 17:08:45 UTC

Whoops! And I think I even looked up the spelling, but I must have looked in the wrong place. Thank you! Will fix now.

(And thank you, I struggled with the last line so I'm glad it worked. :)

Oh wow, that was really... vivid... And a teensy bit scary! Poor Connor, can't imagine he'd be feeling very rested if he's having dreams like that :(

Dreams don't deliver the best of sleep, that's for sure, though I suppose a recliner surrounded by warning tape doesn't help either! Poor guy.

Thank you for reading!
