Wow! I'm so glad Magi gave you the prompt for this and that you wrote it out! I love it!

It's sad and beautiful...that last line is a gut wrencher. Ugh!

[mustangcandi]

I'm still surprised that I just randomly woke up thinking about the prompt and needing to write it. I think my muse is on crack sometimes. haha. I'm glad that you liked it and thanks for reading it like... five times to make sure I had it right. *hugs you*

I'm thinking maybe the sequel might be Ian's POV. Interesting. Hmmmm...

HEE!!

I'm glad that what I gave you was able to inspire you! That's so great.

And this was really nice to read. I think I might have to do that Meme again as well.

I had a lot of fun with this meme and posted it again recently but have only had one taker. LOL. I think it's because folks are just... busy. (Hope your finals go well today. *hugs*)

I'm glad you liked this since you gave the idea for it. I don't know why I just woke up thinking about it but it had to be written. Apparently my Ian/Nikki muse is ready to be heard. Thanks so much for reading hon.

You write Nikki (and Ian) so perfect and in-character, <3
I really hope Ian makes it through, :(

<3

I hope Ian makes it through too. The funny thing with me? I do not like whump and I really do not like character!death... yet, here Ian is not doing so well and my muse keeps wanting to know "what if he really doesn't make it?" I've told her to shut up about that at least five times because Ian has to make it. /discussion. LOL.

Thank you so much for reading and for the lovely compliment about writing Ian/Nikki in character. I think they are two of the trickiest people to write so that really means a lot. ♥

Ok... you CANNOT leave us right there!! You have to write a sequel!!

Well done and completely echo JulietM's comments.

Looking forward, seriously, to the next Ian/Nikki work of yours :)

[mustangcandi]

I'm so glad you've been reading and enjoying Ian/Nikki. I'm all about pimping out this pairing as it's my favorite, right along with David/Liz. haha. The muse has been acting strange lately so we'll see if there is a sequel to this. Some thoughts are brewing. We'll see how it goes. :)

Thanks again for reading! *hugs*
