I get so excited when I see you've updated this fic. sweetbalm introduced me to this amazing, yet heart wrenching, story a few months back and I quickly read all the chapters to catch up.

You write this so brilliantly. The emotions of both Callie and Arizona and what each character is going through, is so realistic. I can visualise it all unfolding in my head.

Great job!!

Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm so glad you're enjoying the story (and thanks to sweetbalm for making the rec!). I'm thrilled it feels realistic to you--that means a lot to hear, especially with this story. I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know you're liking it--thanks again!

Super happy to see this update! Excellent writing and characterization yet again. It's a testament to your skill that every chapter just leaves me wanting more and more. :)

Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, and that you still want more! With as long as this has gone on at this point (both length of story and number of months in-progress), it means everything that you're still hooked. :)

this has suddenly become the best day ever as both of my favourite fics have been updated!!

Great installment. Im glad they talked (unlike other tv versions of the characters who live in denial and then break up to go to africa). The whole time i was reading i was like - so so gay processing. how did callie never know she was bi before.

so mad at that tool dad. personal space much? Was it just me or were you kind of doing a grey's metaphor with that patient. Like when AZ was all 'calm down your kid has options and needs help and support right now' she could have been saying it to either toolman or callie.

this was pretty harrowing from all accounts for AZ. i hope next installment they can have more fun times.

thanks i loved it!!

Thank you so much for your comment. I'm thrilled you're enjoying my story so much, and I'm flattered by the kind words. I'm hoping you won't have to wait as long for the next update but appreciate that you're willing to wait! :)

Thank you for coming along and injecting a bit of awesome into my day with this update! I have so missed this story! I can't tell you how big the grin was that came over my face when I saw an update ( ... )

You're very welcome...I'm seriously thrilled that even after leaving everyone hanging for so long, the interest is still there. That tells me I'm doing something right!

I definitely try hard to offer that little bit of happiness whenever I can...in a story this intense, it feels sort of necessary.

I agree--I think Callie's feelings and reactions are totally understandable (and relatable...who wouldn't want to protect the love of their life?). It is a fine balance between protectiveness and being a little overbearing, especially when Arizona is already struggling to regain her sense of power and confidence. I did think Callie would be pretty unapologetic about her protective streak, though. She strikes me as that kind of person, you know?

Arizona will be meeting one of the other victims very soon. I'm still deciding how to approach the trial, though I obviously already know the outcome. :)

Again, thanks for reading and for another great comment. I appreciate the support, and the patience!
