Not sure what to say about this. Touching, difficult, but right and something Sara would do. In another life, if there were no Gretchen between them, Sara could be friends with this woman.

Great exploration, I can't even remember the necklace to be honest, but that's good because you are creating something new from it that I no doubt enjoy more.

[msgenevieve]

Thank you. I'm not too sure what to say about it either, to be honest! It just came into my head this morning, and so here it is. I really *hated* having to check up on TFB facts, I have to say.

And yes, I think Rita and Sara could have been good friends.

I don't even really know how to react to this. It's the fic I wish I'd written if my brain hadn't totally failed me as to the logistics of escaped-prisoner Sara tracking down one woman and one girl, because I've wanted something like this to happen, both for Sara's sake and for Gretchen's, and I guess for Emily's in the end.

It's absolutely perfect. I love how you've given a personality to Rita, you've made her someone real, and Sara's reaction to her and to Emily is spot-on. And these women do kind of share a connection, as Gretchen has hurt them both, though in very different ways.

I also, like, never read non-epilogue compliant, this was just too promising to pass on, and it was absolutely worth breaking my rules. *Re-reads*

[msgenevieve]

Thank you so much. I don't know why the idea came into my head yesterday, but I'm glad it did. I definitely have my own head!canon for how the show ended, and have never gone near TFB for any AU material, but I suddenly wanted to use it.

I thought Rita was a great character in canon, and it was good to revisit her here. *g*

Lovely written. I can totally see that happen on the show.

[msgenevieve]

Oh, if only! Thanks so much.

I am so, so happy that you are writing more of our beloved Michael and Sara's story, the way in should have been told. Thank you, truly.

Your writing calms that anger that still lingers regarding the treatment of our pair. It makes me remember why I love them so, and be able to think of them without complete sadness and anger. I hope this doesn't sound dramatic to speak of the show as causing such, well, pain, pretty much. I am sure we have all heard people tell us that it is 'just a show', but I think I am in the company of those who know the flaws and naivety of this statement.

Anyway, thank you. Thank you. Perfection as always.

*hugs*

You are indeed. *hugs you*

Thanks very much for the lovely feedback. I'm very glad it helped, if only a little.

Oh, I love this one.

They left the neckline thing as an open-ending, which was crappy as the ending itself, so I'm glad to read a fic like that, and the fatc it's from you makes it even better!

I also liked those little notes about Michael's "death" and the scars, burned hands, twenty-three minutes, etc... and it made me wonder how would you write the scene when he sacrifices himself and then shows up after literally a while, because I'm sure you'd enjoy writing the happy ending (we all deserved, as much as them).

Powerfull!

[msgenevieve]

Thank you! I'm going to see how my brain feels about writing that other story. *g*

Thanks!

I have always wanted to write it, from the moment TFB aired, but it's always been just too, you know, @#$^@$#^%@#$ for me to contemplate still. I hated it so much, it broke my fangirl heart, and I'm still working my way up to doing it, I think.
