I liked this. It is such a quiet, delicate look at these two that I wish we could have seen on the show.

Thanks. I want the show to deal with this so badly because Nate is pretty much hardwired to carry around guilt.

Oh, yes. I completely agree. I actually just finished writing a scene between these two that discusses that very same issue - how Sophie recognizes him plowing through the five stages of grief, lingering on depression and the guilt that accompanies that because he is so intimately familiar with them!

I like this fic.

She would have been fine if he had killed Dubenich or Latimer; but she knows she would be talking a gun out of his mouth instead of a bottle out of his hand.

*nods* It was always about Nate's decision and what it would do to him. I think Sophie might've been okay with Nate pulling the trigger but Nate, no way.

(I can't see Sophie as a killer though. Killing in self-defense, yes, but not in cold blood.)

Thanks.

As for Sophie killing someone "in cold blood," that doesn't mean it was necessarily calculated or planned. Give her enough of a push, and I think she could snap into killing out of rage. That's my head-canon, though, mostly because I feel like Sophie is actually pretty dangerous and has a dark past.

(I'm planning on exploring all three murders in my story "The Places They Have Come to Fear the Most." I was just kind of tying that in here because it made a relevant connection for Nate and Sophie.
