OH SNAP! It's snowing and in comes Le Fort with a gleam in his eye. I gasp, lean forward, scroll down, and groan in disappointment. Can we say cliffhanger much?! I CAN'T WAIT to see what happens between Gil and Le Fort. It's going to be an epic battle of wills. Hurray for sociopaths!

I really want to hug our Mr. Henry. So broken. So lovable. And the miscarriage thing? Brilliant. Utter brilliance including that. Gil and kids are a sore spot that physically pains her. I was so happy to see you addressing this because, gosh, I love your writing. Poignant and incredibly indepth. Masterful. L<3ve this fic and I wait oh so impatiently for an update!

[gwassh0ppa]

Oh golly. SNOW! and Le Fort! YAY sociopaths.

I want to hug him too. I love him. He is mine. I need to find a picture of him so ppl will know who I envision. Or whatever. Y'all can envision someone too.

THANK YOU. I'm working. PROMISE.

:O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a cliffhanger!

and this: "You're one of the most loyal people I know. To a fault, even." - gave me a sense of deja vu. ;) lol

great job, as usual! can't wait for the next one!

[gwassh0ppa]

THE LOYALTY COMMENT SHOULD GIVE YOU DEJA VU. I WROTE IT FROM CAL'S PERSPECTIVE IN CHAPTER TWO.

SHOW. SHOW DOES NOT AFFECT THIS WHATSOEVER.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH :) I APPRECIATE IT :)

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Best LTM fic that I have ever read. The way you pull the reader into the lives of these characters and how they interact with each other is truly wondrous. I gobble each chapter up and then go back and savor it again. Poor Henri, to go through all that and then to have Gillian leave him, and on such a lie. Tragic, that's what that is. Jealous Cal! Love that he is getting a dose of his own medicine. And now I have to wait anxiously for the next chapter. I will be really sad to see this story end. Thank you for continuing this. I appreciate it and you for that. Take care!

[gwassh0ppa]

Well. WOW. I appreciate your thoughts :) :blushes: THANK YOU.

I do feel bad for Henri. He had all that going on. I feel bad for Gill because she was majorly depressed. Textbook even. They were both not in the right headspace.

RE: Jealous Cal: yes. Can we not recall when he was on the stand in mid S2 and referred to his "jealousy" getting the better of him regarding ZOE. How it tended to make him even more irrational. YES. REMEMBER THAT. KEEP IT CLOSE.

THANKYOUVERYMUCH.

You totally gave me permission to do this.

Oh, the ~bourbon~...OH SHOOT ALCOHOL. OH SHOOT. DAD.

Oh, that poor girl. Omw. Sadness tearing at my heart. Never reading that part again.

HOT DANG. Henri, you're out. You leave my good graces now. My compassion only extends until you hurt Foster.
I’m going to totally retract my statements here and say that I resent changing my opinion of Henri. My instincts were correct. Traumatic experiences? nope. Not when it involves making the “girls tend to marry their father” business too real.

Also #teamtwopercent makes this whole fic so much worse, for both Henri and Lightman. Do not want.

intuition YOU TRUST THAT INTUITION, GIRL.

WAIT CAL IS ~GAMBLING~ NOW THIS IS A HOT MESS. WHAT EVEN.

White-haired man. heart pounding. lol force of her stare.

~LOYAL TO A FAULT~
WAIT THEY HAVEN'T TALKED SINCE THEN?

WAIT WHAT WHAT WHAT
MISCARRIAGE WHAT

Somewhere right around here my original outline devolved into incoherent capslocking and after a few paragraphs I decided to give up and review later.

[aleia_jade]

I ended up having to edit that because ~eljay~ didn't like how long it was. Whoops. I regret nothing. Yet.

1. You caught the Bourbon. I now write for you and you alone

[aleia_jade]

WAIIIIIIIT. I JUST REALIZED THEY ALL RODE THE SUBWAY TOGETHER. I KIND OF THOUGHT THEY SAID GOODBYE IN THE RESTAURANT. NOW I HAVE A MAJOR WORRY THEORY GOING ON THAT I REFUSE TO MENTION BECAUSE I DON'T WANT CONFIRMATION/DENIAL. BAAAAADNESSSSSS. ALSO THAT SHOULDER PAT SEEMED VERY INTENTIONAL.

OKAY OKAY OKAY I kind of remember noticing the Lightman/Foster dynamic earlier, and some shady business going on, but I didn't have time to re-read the whole thing last night, okay? And also the discussions about "show bs" are kind of consuming my thoughts, okay? I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A THEME. AND ALSO THAT YOU STARTED IT FIRST.

SORRY ABOUT HENRI. I'm very quick to judge when it comes to BFs of people I care about.

Sure, you've earned trust. But you've totally earned yourself bucketfuls of worry along with it. So at this point I only trust that everything will work out in the end. THAT MEANS NOTHING FOR WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE THEN.

I just finished reading this straight through and...wow. May I have more soon, please?

[gwassh0ppa]

I salute you for your crazy undertaking. That would give me a headache. Oh wait. It did. When I reread last weekend, to make sure I wasn't messing up my history.

You can have more once I am at a point to post more, how bout that? :) Thanks for reviewing!

[aprilvolition]

When it's good fic, I can't stop. My eyes do go a little cross and I'm sure they're bloodshot as hell from staring at the computer screen for so long but it's worth it!

Lol, I'll have to work on the whole patience thing but I think I can manage.
