I'm just starting it (I've had it bookmarked since you first put it up on TWOP), but I just thought you should know there are other places you can post it too, like scc_fic. (People link to their stories from multiple LJ coms often.)

"I shouldn't be surprised. He carried that old picture of you around with him forever. Said you were his 'lucky charm'... guess he was wrong about that."

I still love this. It might be my favorite part of the whole fic.

No, probably this:
"When I go," she stood up, "bury me here in the grass, next to him."

"Somehow I doubt I'd be around for that. My life's a little more expendable than yours." He said it so matter-of-factly, that it was clear he believed it.

Sarah turned and put her hands on his arms, looking him in the eyes. "No one's expendable."

It just conveys so much: Sarah's love for Kyle. Derek's belief that his role is to die and his almost callous disregard for human like, and Sarah's belief that life is precious. Good ( ... )

Thanks for the comments and the tips. I think the 2 parts you quoted are my favorite too actually. With the ending, Derek wasn't really asking for "details". He was just having a little fun.

Hey, I'm glad you commented. I couldn't remember your user name, but now that I see it I recognize it. Thanks, BTW.

It took me a few paragraphs to get into this story but when I hit "It's my house," she slowly grumbled as she rose, keeping her eye trained on the gun in his hand. "And take your finger off that trigger before I break it." I saw that you had the dynamic between these two NAILED.

And I loved the scene between John and Cameron in the bathroom.

Wonderful story. Thank you.

Lovely, lovely story.

"When I go," she stood up, "bury me here in the grass, next to him."

That line got me all teary. Thanks for posting.

That's such a great compliment. Thank you.
