Thanks for reading. This series lends itself a little too well to darkness.

Wow. Well done indeed.

missnyah February 20 2009, 04:59:53 UTC

Thanks very much and thanks for taking the time to comment.

Ooh, that stings. Considering what has happened and what could happen to this family, as you wrote here, they have no other choice than to cut off the pain...

The bit about disconnecting from the pain is a T1 quote (actually Sarah onyl speaks in T1 quotes). That line, delivered by Kyle, always gave me chills because of its rather terrible intensity.

Thanks for reading!

Oh, I am very familiar with T1 and T2. Sarah/Kyle have been my OTP before TSCC ever existed. I've been a fan for sometime now, which is why I appreciate any Sarah/Kyle fics ( ... )

Haha I just didn't want to accidentally take credit for the awesome-ness of T1!

Bravo! Very well done. Dark, but so damn good.

When John thought back on that moment he thought maybe right then he'd been hearing his mother bleed to death, hemorrhaging into her lungs as she watched his father die all over again.

That's beautifully done.

And I love the theme here. That even if they win, they can't really win because they're all people out of time and even if they save the world, it's not really a world in which they can exist.

Lovely piece. Thanks for posting.

Thanks very much! That line was a late addition, the original story was too emotionless without it.

I'm quite fascinated by the idea that all of them are fighting to create a world that will have no place for them. I just keep returning to that theme...
Thanks for reading!

I agree with indie- very well done and on a theme very true to the series. You handle it nicely in this piece to show the brittleness of Sarah's existence.

Thanks very much. With recent episodes I'm seeing the possibility of Sarah making it to J-Day alive but out of her mind. The prospect is dismal.

I think this is my favorite of yours. I've read it about five times, haha. It totally doesn't go where I expected it would; it's nicely different, nicely heart breaking. Lovely job!

missnyah April 22 2009, 00:34:25 UTC

Yeah, this is quite different from any of the other ones I've written.
I tend to go bleak, I suppose, but this one is kind of on its own level.
