Oh. *tears*

Oh, I don't even have the words for how much I loved this. You broke me in such a good good good way.

Oh. This was amazing writing and so very very good.

Ack! I hate my inability to say something more than "good". Please know that it was better than I'm able to tell you.

I loved this. *mems*

Loved this very much. Loved the humour, loved how you filled in Derek's childhood and early life after the apocalypse ... loved, loved, loved how you showed Derek's stubborn distrust of John Connor and how it carried over across time up until this point:

The second he realized, Derek felt like the world’s biggest dupe. In two timelines. John didn’t just look like Kyle, he was Kyle’s son. Derek’s blood matched John’s because they were family. And John didn't trail him around the house because he needed a daddy, he did it because Derek was as close as John was going to get to his real father.

Derek remembered Sarah’s expression in the interrogation room. Reese boys?

John and Sarah risked everything to get him help - over everyone’s better judgment - because he was family. Because Derek was one of the Reese Boys. Because John Connor was one of the Reese Boys.

Perfect emotional realization. If the show can do this well, season 2 will be worth the viewing time.

Thank you for sharing this!

This piece filled in a lot of holes I was hoping for background on, and I like your take on it just fine! Very nice flow and attention to detail, I enjoyed it very much.

*grin* Thanks. I suspect season 2 will make most of what I wrote AU, but I really like considering Derek's history.
