I love your work so much...I can't even tell you.

Now Sara watches Catherine, who gets her nails done every two weeks and still pays attention to fashion trends, and she wonders what it’s like to kiss the cool girls.

That made me grin.

She’s nothing but a hooker, fucking for what she really needs.

THAT made me gasp out loud. What a great analysis of the relationship you've set up between them. Beautiful...and I love Sara wanting both Grissom and Catherine ;)

I think I'm addicted to your writing :D

You know that (truer than I'd like) line about how a lot of women have sex in order to get love?

<*Bing-bing*>

Catherine is having sex with Sara because (A) she's attracted to Sara, and Sara's willing to comply, but (B) because she wants to be desired. (Thense all the stuff about mirrors, and about her being fourty-ish and divorced, and probably feeling slightly more 'dated' than 'dateable'). Sara -- this sweet (hah!) young thing -- clearly thinks she's hot, and is willing to proclaim it (provided no-one's going to hear them and walk in) vocally, in the throes of passion.
Which is an ego-boost, if ever there was one. :-)

Sara... Well, you already know about that one. :-)

But, yeah. Payment doesn't necessarily mean 'money'. :-)

Glad I made you grin, and glad to hear I have addicts. :-) (It's very flattering. :-)

Once again, another amazing piece.

She thought dissecting foetal pigs was fun.

As I read that, I found myself yelling, "That's becasue it is fun."
And then it hit me, i'm a nerd, lol. And a huge one at that. :)

Wow, the way you described Sara and Catherine's relationship was just brilliant.

Catherine had hissed between her teeth when she did that and, even as she was coming, Sara couldn’t help thinking, Maybe you should have given me what I wanted.

I can feel that line. I don't really know how to explain it, but I felt a shiver when I read that.

And, like fresh_tart said, I, too, am addicted to your writing.

Thank you. :-D

<*pets the addicts*>

There will be more. :-)

Honey, I *love* long comments! :-D

When I heard that line (state trooper), I had to write it down, it was just *too* perfect! :-D

Re: Sara decking that guy: Exactly. She strikes me as scrappy. :-)

Re: Drooling Greg. Oh, gosh, yes. His jaw would just *drop*. (Catherine, on the other hand, would probably not be thrilled about it. I get the feeling she has, like, *zero* patience for Greg. ;-)

OMG. I know I offered to have your babies, but can I add to that a marriage proposal? You're like, the best person ever. /worships/

You can totally add me to your list of addicted readers.

I hate Catherine for what she's inadvertantly saying in Aftermath.
Show Me rings totally true to Sara -- always wanting to show what she can do.
Sometimes she just wanted to be held by someone who wouldn’t push her away. That line just totally breaks my heart.
Catherine had hissed between her teeth when she did that and, even as she was coming, Sara couldn’t help thinking, Maybe you should have given me what I wanted. Perfect.
I love hating your Catherine in one fic, and then turning around and feeling bad for her because really, she's just so confused.

Re: Marraige Proposal: Too late. ;-) I got married in July (two months less a day ago. :-)

I love hating your Catherine in one fic, and then turning around and feeling bad for her because, really, she's just so confused.
I'm glad of this. I'm glad the reaction to the way I write her isn't just "Gah! Catherine is E-Ville!" Even though it's getting to be time that she stops being a twit... ;-)

"Gah! Catherine is E-Ville!"
Why do I imagine "E-Ville!" being said in a Mermaid Man-esque voice? (From Spongebob Squarepants) /gigglesnort/ It amuses me. (Maybe too much for this late at night...)

Yes. Catherine should stop being a twit like, now. /pokes Catherine with a fork/
