I am... wow. Just... wow. You are a master. I don't know how you capture the essence of Erica so completely but it is amazing. She's hurt and scared but, still, she's Erica so she has to be tough and stoic. You only give hints of the turmoil boiling just below her surface but it's effective and in character. Also completely in character is the sex. That is exactly how I would imagine their first time happening. Intense and quiet and panicked and with Erica in complete control because that's how she has to have it and they both know it.

She kisses him like it can save her,
Perfection.

On a shallow note, can I just say how happy I am you killed Jack?

Thank you so much for fulfilling my prompt. This is so far beyond what I had expected and I am totally in love with it.

Oh man, thanks very much ♥ ♥ ♥ I am SO, SO happy that you liked this! I was a little worried because it was so long and I wasn't sure how zealot-y it actually ended up being.

Haha...poor Jack. But I seriously want him to die because he's really dragging the show down for me. Sorry, Father Jack--I'm just not into priests! Conflicted kick-ass FBI agents and bad-ass terrorists, on the other hand...

*flaps hands excitedly*

“Now we’re even,” he whispers against her mouth and leans in to kiss her again, sliding his hand up under her shirt.

WOO!

I love Hobbes' unspoken concern/protectiveness -- it reminds me so much of the Hobbes we've seen on the show, the one I secretly believe is already in love with Erica but refuses to acknowledge it.

Thanks so much for writing and sharing this!

I AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT COMPLETELY. They need to get them making-out on the show post haste.

SECONDED. They just--*work*

Wow, that was eloquent, right?

[bayloriffic]

Wow, that was eloquent, right?
Haha...about as eloquent as my reasoning that they're both SUPER-HOT and I like watching hot people make out :)

Oh so dark, but it fits the series so well. Love how you brought these to together and had them running on the road. Nice work!

[bayloriffic]

Thanks so much!! Erica/Hobbes hitting the road together is my secret wish for the show--they'd make such an awesome team, just the two of them :)
