Wow. Please, please continue this soon. I remember this scenario being suggested and even then I shied away from the idea because it was just too damn painful to think about. I can already tell this fic is going to make me cry every time a new chapter goes up. (Good thing Broken!Nicky has Grissom to put him back together again.)

[eleanor_lavish]

I'm working on it! and its going to be sticky, i fear, with Grissom being all full of guilt, and Nicky haveing to break down some serious walls.

At least he's not buried alive, right? Right?

[jcssexitary]

Oh wow, you have got to continue this. It's wonderful in a horrible sort of way. If that makes any sense.

[eleanor_lavish]

complete sense. I take it as a compliment. *g*

Okay, who was accusing WHOM of trying to kill who earlier today? Hmm, let me think. Oh! YOU! Accusing ME!

And then you post THIS?

Hello, pot. Meet kettle.

This is FUCKING BRILLIANT, woman. *wipes cheeks* God. This damn thing's like a shiv right to the heart. Beautifully, brutally written, so deadly POSSIBLE. As you and I have discussed -- it could so easily have happened exactly this way.

Guh. There better be more of this soon, or I'm hunting you down. Fucking AWESOME.

5000 words in a week is like a MIRACLE for me, and there is no signs of slowing. I'll have you know that "Arcana" has been keeping my from slitting my own wrists at the DRAMA of all this, so we have a deal right? A little Gareth saying "Mommy" for me, a little Gil trying not to touch Nick's tattoo while he's sleeping from me? okay?

*clings to you*

[janissa11]

Gareth will say lots of Moms, oh yes. But poor tattooed broken Nicky. And guilt-stricken Gil.

I'm in heaven. Their hell, I realize, but I'm quirky that way.

Gahhhhh. I always thought this sounded like a fucking brilliant idea, but reading the execution of it is like, four thousand light-years BETTER. FanfuckingTASTIC, woman. I mean that. Wow.

*blushes* The muses are kind. OK, maybe kind is the wrong word, considering they had me write a prison rape scene, but yes.

You are the reigning Queen of CSI H/C fic, and I am proud to follow in your painful noble footsteps!

[starry_midnight]

To be absolutely honest, when I first saw the idea for this, of Nick going to prison I really just ran the other way but when I actually saw it I had to read it and damn it all if I didn't spend the entire thing fighting one of those huge lumps in my throat. This was so absolutely wonderful and heartbreaking and just perfect. I can't wait for the next part. Thank you for sharing. :)

[eleanor_lavish]

YOu are so very welcome. Post-GD, it hurts a lot to see Nicky in pain, even in an AU-ish way. I'm glad you liked!

[adelate]

Um, what she said. Because, yes.

[vicxntric]

Oh man, this is...I'm not even sure what to call it. Raw and painful and compulsively readable, if that makes any sense. I have this deep dread of what's might happen in those last few days, and Nick's mess of emotions towards Grissom are just so...gah.

More. Now. Soon. When?

[eleanor_lavish]

Oh, the dread is not unfounded. *wink* and yeah-- Nick has a very "love-hate" thing going on with Gris these days, and its gonna take a lot to break it all down.
