This was great. You know that Nathan and Claire are my favorites and I loved seeing you revisit the Nathan/Jessica relationship in the post-bomb New York world where they're all drawn together. You captured the characters well and I love that Nathan found strength in her. And Claire's line about dads being "only human," made me sniffle. Oh, Mr. Bennet, you betrayer, you!

Yay! Thanks! I'm so glad you liked this! I love the idea of Jessica and Niki agreeing to disagree and just sort of co-existing. I don't think it's going to HAPPEN, but I like the idea. She and Nathan are a fascinating couple. And...well, they're steamy. ;)

Yeah, I loved that line about dads. It's a hard thing to learn like that...

That was really good. Brilliant job. Nathan is so tragic ain't he. :D

Thank you! I love Nathan. I think it might be because he was such a cool character on previous shows, but I'll take it. I hope he grows and changes as time goes on...there's so much that they could do with him!

This is fan-fricking-tastic. I love the way you've split Jessica and Niki apart, and all the little interactions Nathan has with the others are just so great! Good work :D

[shealynn88]

Thank you! That's quite the compliment! ;) I like to think about Jessica and Niki sort of gaining from one another--still being seperate, but coming to some sort of agreement and learning the strengths of the other. Not that it'll happen that way, but I like the idea.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this, thank you!

Lovely. I'm not a huge Niki/Jessica fan, but I do love Nathan, and the ensemble got me; the interactions were great, especially between Nathan and Claire. Wonderful job, I like it a lot.

Thank you! I really like the characters that have a lot of room to grow, and i think that describes both Nathan and Niki/Jessica. They're not great people, you know? But I sort of find myself rooting for them anyway. :)
