This is all kinds of hurt in the most delicious way. You did a great casefic, mixed the two shows brilliantly and ended with warm comfort. Great fic!

[arsenicjade]

The fact that this casefic works AT ALL is completely due to my beta, who's a lifesaver. I BLOW at plot and she completely whips me into shape. Thank you so so much.

Hon, this turned out so, so well, particularly the bits of case you had to push through. The other commentators are right: the contrast between all the relationships - okay, I can't write all the permutations of relationships out here - and the horror Neal feels for the case make for an even stronger fic. You should be incredibly proud of every single bit of this.

I still maintain this is the backstory for Nothing Can Resist. :-)

[arsenicjade]

You are probably right, re: backstory :-)

Also: everything people are saying is ENTIRELY due to you. On both fics.

That's what betas are for - to polish up parts that need it and to push you to develop others. You're the one who came through on the writing; don't forget that element. With so many other writers these would not have reached anything like this. <333

*forehead touch* Sorry I had to run today. There aren't even words for how much I would have preferred to chat with you.

Loved this, and I loved how you portrayed Neal's terror and horror at the case itself, how abhorrent it is to him, but my favourite part is the meeting of Neal and Rossi--how Rossi totally understood him and was both admiring and amused. I wonder if Neal gets the tattoo removed eventually ...

[arsenicjade]

Yes. Yesyesyesyes. As someone who has tattoos, the thought of having one I didn't put on myself...oh no. He gets it removed. And Peter goes with him for Every. Singly. Appointment.

I adore you.

[ivorysilk]

OH I LOVE THIS.

(also, if you ever feel like a bookend snippet, I shall implore you to put this first on your list!!!)

(and likewise, and it was tres helpful to chat with you last night!)

[arsenicjade]

I hope today went better, kitten.

This is really great, both the case and the character interactions. I love crossovers between these two shows, and I loved Diana and Emily being friends. And the OT3ness was understated and extremely lovely ♥

[arsenicjade]

Thank you so much! I hadn't actually thought about a xover between these two until embroiderama prompted it. All my best ideas are from other people...

[kanarek13]

Love this to bits! An amazing combo of gripping case!fic and the h/c in the most delicious shape and flavor, with a lovely touch of Diana's backstory \o/ The way Peter and El were taking care of Neal at the end is absolutely beautiful ♥

Thank you so much :D

[arsenicjade]

Thank YOU for the awesome feedback. Glad it hit just right. *g*
