Thank you for letting me know :-) I enjoyed writing this one so I'm very happy people are enjoying reading it.

Yeah, that makes so much more sense given all that happened than just heading to a bar for a couple of drinks and assuming everything is fine and normal. Cause having a psycho kidnap you AGAIN in order to torture and murder you is just an everyday thing, the kind of thing that just rolls off your back. Did I ever mention that this show fails to make sense? Thanks for giving us something plausible that the producers couldn't. Vive la fanfique!

LOL, I think we've repeatedly, on numerous occasions and in several different formats agreed on that issue! At least there was a hint of things not being quite right for Jane at the end of the episode - when she returned to her apartment - and it didn't seem too OOC for her to try to put on a brave face, I just don't think that brave face would've lasted for long.

Indeed. And you are more than welcome.

First, I'm so happy that our discussions gave rise to this fic! "Episode tag" seems so modest a descriptor for such a lovely, tender piece.

Your inclusion of that stake imagery (is that what was from the book?) was chilling and effective. Thank God Jane did manage to escape the clutches of Hoyt and the Apprentice before *that*.

Most importantly, though, it made perfect sense that Jane would stay with Maura (again - yay!) the night of the attack; her apartment was totally trashed, after all.

“Jane, you have so many clothes at my house, it’s probably time you had your own drawer…”

*big grin*

This was beautifully written all the way through. Thank you so much for another great pre-slash Jane/Maura story!

PS: I only detected one raging Britishism - will msg you :-).

Aww, that's very sweet and the script chats really did push me into writing this (I'd had the idea floating around for a while.)

Yes, that was from the book. There's a longer scene at the actual crime scene in the novel, where Jane finds the clearing and that image really stuck with me, hence stealing it to use for my own purposes!

Heh, it's a pleasure. These two are a lot of fun to write.
And thanks for the Brit-pick, I edited accordingly.

Thanks for reading and taking the time to let me know you enjoyed it :-)

Just wonderful, as your writing of this pair always is. It's so plausible, in that it takes an implausible situation (them going to a bar like nothing major has transpired) and brings it back to a much more realistic conclusion: Jane has a mini breakdown and Maura is there to soothe and heal her wounds. I love the tenderness and ease of affection between them. Lovely!

I definitely think Jane was overdue for a bit of a meltdown by the end of this one and I'm pretty sure the only one who would get to witness that would be Maura. Thank you so much for your lovely feedback!
