OUCH.

At first I was like HOLY SHIT HARDISON ACK and then it was HOLY SHIT ELIOT and then even HOLY SHIT SOPHIE AND NATE and if you hadn't stepped it back with Parker a bit (though yeah, that totally makes sense for her), and then started putting the bandaids a bit at McRory's I'd be bawling my eyes out.

This was freakin' brilliant. *Bookmarks like whoa*

I'm glad it read alright. I was a bit worried about the tone change, especially to the scene in the bar. Thank you!

Nah, I wouldn't have worried. I think that's maybe what kept it so real feeling- that pulling back a bit, balancing the horrible out with something out of left field. It's what I like about the show, and there aren't too many fics out there that keep that balance, so I'm always super stoked when I find it. :)

Is it possible for something to be both heartwarming and disturbing? If so that's what this is.

I liked it a lot. For some reason the two years away from computers in Hardison's part and the whole Game Over thing seemed very in character.

I will take that as highest compliment XD I'm really glad Hardison seemed in character. I really struggle with him.

This is fantastic! I love the different worst things you came up with for each character--they're all so absolutely perfect. And then lightening it up at the end with them all being drunk? Brilliant.

Thank you.

This is both amazingly sweet and highly disturbing.

It was like pulling of a band aid, very slowly and many of them. Ouch, my heart hurts for all of them. And then...Parker. I'm sorry, but it made me grin a little - though it's so her.

Wonderful!

I'm glad Parker's story worked as relief. :D For some reason I find it hard to have bad things (I mean... other than the absence of money...) happen to Parker. The winter episode was brutally painful on that account.

Oh, that was really intriguing. Great story idea, great execution. Parker's story's tragic ending cracked me up; makes for welcome comic relief in contrast to the other ones... and it's so Parker.
