Thanks! The first chapter is a fair bit longer, but I hope to have it posted in a couple of days :)

Ha, welcome to our world of the TGW timesuck.:) It'll do that to you!

This is a great and intriguing start! Very interested in hearing the details behind The Great Meltdown. I'm a bit of a sadist in WANTING to see them fight... of course, I want them to make up more, but think it's important for them to get all that poison out of their systems first. I'll look forward to seeing your take on it!

I'm not quite sure how it took me two seasons to start watching this show but its impossible to not get sucked in.

The fighting, the making up - its all so addicting! And after obsessing over this for such a short period of time, reading all the fics I could get my hands on, writing seemed like the only thing left to do...

I hope I do them justice :) Thanks for reading!

"Wallowing had never been in her nature ... And at that moment, she couldn’t decide who she hated more: herself or Alicia."

I really enjoyed what you set up here and can't wait to read more. thanks for sharing!

Ooh, great start! Are we going to get the mega-fight in a later chapter? Great to see another writer join the good wife fray - welcome!

Thanks for commenting! :)

You most definitely will get to witness the explosion, but it's still two or three chapters down the road. There's quite a bit of angst and a little bit of banter before we get to that. I feel like the show (so far this season) has limited what's playing out on screen with them (I mean I know there are other characters and it's not the K/A show, but sometimes I think it should be) so in my little world, I needed to develop it.

But I sincerely hope the fight doesn't disappoint because I'm so excited to share it!

Wonderful. You have a pretty adept way with Kalinda - which is an accomplishment! She's a hard one! Can't wait to read more! :)
