Is this story finished? Your writing is awesome, please continue?

Hope you decide to finish this

Do tell me that you are continuing with this? I realise that it wasn't updated for quite a while, but you're a brilliant writer, I hope to continuing reading it.

aw those two need to get over their blindness and hesitation and admit their feelings to each other already!

Great job, I hope u continue this.

Just got around to reading the second story you've written. Read, and loved, the first one and this didn't disappoint. Hope you update soon. Especially with the show returning soon. It'd be nice to get back in the heads of the characters.

Great story please keep updating! :)

So glad you continued your first story! I'm really liking your take on what happened after the season ender. It will be very interesting to see more of both ladies' thoughts as they start to heal. And to see how Angela mixes into things. Can't wait to read more.

To quote one of my favorite movies..'she reached in and put a string of lights around my heart', that's how I feel reading this story. I know it's hokey and mushy, but I am hokey and mushy..lol. You have such a grasp on human emotion and the way you have Jane noticing the little things, oh my, it just makes the romantic in me just melt. And Maura, for there to actually be such a woman.. You are truly a force to reckon with as a writer. I enjoy reading every single word. I hope your schedule doesn't over do you too much and whenever you can post a chapter, just know that you have some seriously loyal readers that will be here waiting. Thank you for sharing this and I look forward to the next part..:-)

Nicely done

Since it leads directly into the season we haven't seen yet, I haven't wanted to write about the post-shooting relationship or events. I also haven't wanted to read about anything much that was post-shooting. I'm really glad I made an exception in this case. You've approached the subject in a really honest way that doesn't focus on crying and drama and angst, but rather on the relationship between the protagonists and the ways they'll be learning to face one another now that they've had the impermanence of life thrust into their faces. You'd think a homicide detective and a medical examiner would feel those things already, but until it could have been one of them, it wasn't quite so immediate. This will shift their priorities a bit; there'll be less they'll want to avoid or hide from. You did a great job showing that change in their dynamic.

And yet another fantastic chapter. I can feel the yearning from both of them just emanating from my computer screen. I love how you described Maura's true angst was that it wasn't just anyone's organs, body, had been so afflicted, but that it was Jane, and she couldn't be clinical anymore. I also loved the bantery conversation when Maura checked on Jane's bandages. "I promise I won't peek" was a great line :)

"You smell like you again"

This line was so telling, both to Maura, and about Jane. Noticing the makeup is one thing, its an obvious difference. But the way a person smells is usually overlooked, and I thought it was fantastic that you brought it to our attention that Jane noticed.

'But now wasn't the time'

YES. Perfect. So many other fics just have them jump into it, but they both need time. Also, Maura seems to me like someone who always messes up non-verbal cues, so she'd want verbal confirmation before making a move.

"Nothing in this world is eerier than seeing that big brain of hers just… stop."

Awesome. Because really, thats what it all came down to. Maura just shuts down.

Personally, my favorite line was this 'Its hard to feel alive when you're lying in a hospital bed'

THIS. I'm a nursing student, I see this every day, and this could not have been more perfect. Just an incredible sentence.

Thanks for writing, looking forward to the next chapter

Yes! You updated! That little kiss tease just about did me in! Sooooo close, yet so far! I love how you are writing Maura, it is just so perfect! The little details about how she smells and the nurse having to help her off with her dress...its just so cute! I'm really curious to see where you go with this, please update soon.

keep it up

Another excellent chapter, I'm so glad to see you aren't down playing the ramifications of Jane's shooting. I read so many stories where Jane is back on her feet and back to normal after a couple of weeks!

Like you've said, the physical and psychological consequences will be huge, for Maura as well! I can't wait to see how you're going to tackle it all ;-)

I really hope that when the show comes back, they don't gloss over it, but I think they'll say that it was just a flesh wound or something daft like that! Forget the fact that Jane could actually have blown her spine, or lungs, or diaphragm to bits!

Anyway, enough rambling, thanks for writing, as usual your characterisation is spot, well done :)

I'm really liking this story, love how their relationship is progressing. I'll be waiting for the next chapter eagerly.
