Glad to accept the blame on this particular occasion! The last sentence is gritty and just leaves you hanging - 'teetering on the edge', as such.

Like Sara's voice here. The annoyance, the early doubt is palpable, then she's shitty at the end when she's facing her demise. Love it.

Really nice, lady, and yeah please enter it in the bleeding cuticles point counting.

I thought I'd written all the Kellerman/Sara I was ever going to, but it was never from Sara's POV and that arrived out of nowhere last night to become this story.

I loved that early relationship between them-- the comraderie, that sense of hope and possibility regardless of how unwise it would have been to go farther. It was wonderful to explore it from her side, because she had no idea what he was up to, and even in that motel room it was clear he was struggling with his feelings for her.

As for the writing challenge, it all depends on whether there's a story today and the next few days! I made it up to 10 days the first time around. :)

I'm so glad there are other people who can't resist the Kellerman/Sara allure. It's like I can't help myself-- I liked the two of them together, and I liked who they were with each other so much better than who Sara was with Michael and who Kellerman was when he was being, well... his chuckleheaded sociopathic self. ;)

And sometimes it just feels good to get down inside of Sara, though that's rare because I'm not a Michael/Sara shipper and so much of the story and fanfic was about that.

Nice to write this from the serious side, too, full of Sara's hope and possibilities. I wrote the crack side from Kellerman's POV years ago, and boy-- was that ever different from this!

I agree with that-- love Sara, but loathe MiSa. It just wasn't... good for her, you know? A friend of mine once said that those two characters together brought out the worst traits in each other, and I really think that's true. Michael became more manipulative and demanding, and Sara became more impulsive and I don't know, co-dependent or something.

I wrote a really good Sara story ( here) a few years back, and I've written some Lincoln/Sara (whoo!) and also Sara in an ER crossover setting.

I can't do the Gretchen/anyone because I loathe her like burning (though someone wrote a fantastic Gretchen/Sofia for the PB Fic Exchange-- it was before we knew much about Gretchen, but damn that story rang true).

What does "smh" stand for? I see that in your posts/comments sometimes, and I have to admit, I'm stumped!

Oh, Sara, you so would have. I promise you, you would have. There was just something so delicious about Paul/Sara. I know I didn't really notice him until he started interacting with her. They had great chemistry.

This is an interesting piece of reflection--that that would be what she would think about in those moments is telling.

Thanks for sharing, Karen. I love it when you go all het for a split second! :D

They really did-- she was more herself with him, and he was so much less of a dangerous sociopath with her. Until, well, the motel room. :0

I'm glad you enjoyed this, and that you have the same Kellerman/Sara weakness that I do! Apparently, there are quite a few of us. :D

I wrote a Paul/Sara story after the show ended -- since they killed Michael off, I decided to explore the dynamic of her with the only other man on the show who she'd really sparked with. Writing them was a lot of fun, and it was my last hurrah really with PB fic. I have only written a few drabbles since then. But all this Paul/Sara on my f-list of late has been so wonderful!
