Oh that is such a painful and effective POV. Great drabble.

Thanks so much. I started out trying to come up with something unexpectedly cheery for the "exit wounds" prompt, but my brain was just not going there! Heh.

oH! Oh, I never thought about the rest of Cardiff! Poor Julie!

I started a vignette once where Gwen ran into Nikki Bevan after the events of Exit Wounds, and they sort of reconciled and bonded over trauma. The fic never worked, but setting it in post-Grey Cardiff started me thinking about the way people must have been affected. They must have thought they were being attacked by terrorists, at least at first. Poor Cardiff!

That's bleak. But very good. :)

That's bleak.

Heh, tell me about it! And I started out in completely the opposite direction.

Thank you. :)
