Bete Noire is one of the best ep.from S1-I really loved it,but I like your version better!

'This is not going at all as he had planned. These people are completely crazy, and he blames the forensic scientist for all of this.'

Go,Abby!:P

Go Abby, indeed. ^_^ Thanks, Dani.

This was great!

I too like the reworking of the episode, plus having it told in Ari's voice.

Thanks! :)

He hears the gunshot as though it is something that has happened somewhere else.

I really love this story, but that is my favourite bit. It mirrors Kate's death that wouldn't happen in this universe. I love how you reworked the episode so it all went wrong for Ari and went right for everyone else.

Thanks for sharing.

No problem, glad you enjoyed. And also, glad you caught the mirrored-death bit. When I originally wrote it, she shot him in the eye, and then I was like "No! *headslap* The forehead, moron! It's more poetic!" ^_^

Poetic justice is served. Beautiful.

My favourite lines were:
"He wants it STAT, as in five minutes ago, Kate, and what’s the holdup because Abby doesn’t like it when Ducky yells at her; it reminds her very strongly of being yelled at by her grandfather for tracking up the house or supergluing her brother’s head to a hardhat or that time she accidentally fell in the hallway and knocked over the little table that held her grandmother’s favorite crystal candelabra and it shattered into a million pieces and -"

It's just so Abby.
