Rather uncomfortable with the torture, though its hardly surprising they'd do such a thing, also wow Big has like, all the assets.

This was very well described, though I am unsure how Mr Big could do what he does given his size, but regardless, good flow, great tension, awesome framing.

Ahhhh, this is very well written! I love the characterizations and the scenes are written very well Poor Judy, but at least Ms Bellweather is caught and done with. Nice to see that Nick is still present too. I'm looking forward to your next update!

Guest chapter 5 . 4/18/2016
May I remined you that Mr. Big is a ARTIC SHREW, and not capable of dome of the stuff on here. Him being WAY smaller that a rabbit, or otter, and a gun his size would not be big enough to do alot of damage.
And how and why did Just get fired?

Wow, this was dramatic and action packed on every level. That party went rage-zombie apocalypse in seemingly seconds, poor Fru Fru especially, she seems so... well sheltered.

The descriptions were great, keeping up a consistent tone, pace and offering solid exposition without going overboard and derailing the stories momentum. Judy's decisions work well and make sense, and the physical results and damage are visceral and easy to picture.

Mr Big's perspective was great, he really feels like a master crime boss; I am a bit shocked the assistant mayor would try and drag the mob into her plan and be there herself though. The execution scene was brilliant, Nick's perspective and fear well described and that ending leaves so many possibilities, I can't wait to see how Judy and Fru Fru are coping next chapter!

Ah this was a great chapter, the opening texts were incredibly amusing and felt wonderfully in character.

Judy having regained enough of herself to actually take in her surroundings is a real relief and even a joy to see despite their, excellently described, and disgusting nature. Her confronting the cheque book and her reaction were great showing both resolve and a sympathetic vulnerability.

Judy's confrontation with her land lord was awesome and totally fitting with her character and the limo pick up where she gave everyone the smug was very satisfying. Hmm so during the car ride, that was Nick? Is she more afraid of Foxes here than in the movie? Regardless that was a powerful scene, so tense!

Loved the dinner, there was a distinct sort of discomfort to it that fits with Judy's situation but you give the real impression she's fighting back now, the teeth thing was great and it makes sense Fru Fru would approve given her families business.

So, someone's gone savage, intriguing!

Ah dang, I just read the authors note and found my theory jossed, well half jossed anyway, I did think part of it was connected to her not encountering Nick and so not finding some crucial bit of info.

Anyway onto the chapter where you tore my heart to shreds again except worse than last time, kudos to you!

One thing I really admire here is how 'real' and 'visceral' Judy's reactions, actions and feelings are. There's a great use of evocative language but stuff like needing the tissue, the expression of disgust, all those kinds of things create such an immersive and extra powerful effect to the story.

Judy's job hunt was uncomfortable, painful and once again, so immersive, I didn't need tons of scenery or descriptions because it was following a montage of painful disappointment as spiteful comments and disappointments were piled on someone already so wounded until she finally broke. And my goodness what a heart wrenching break down it was, the descriptions were short, clipped and conveyed so much with so little, really conveying a frayed and overwhelmed mental state.

Fru Fru's intro was darling, you really captured her voice and the imagery, descriptions and little touches of interaction, tone and expression were fantastic. She felt very in character and I love the play by play between them, the towering 'presence'of the guard, Judy's own self aware nervousness and angry disappointment in herself but fleeting bits of joy, all of it was fantastic.

The final bit with Clawhauser was very sweet and a great cap off.
sarista wow chapter 1 . 4/10/2016
Oh my gosh, this opening physically hurt with how good it was, seriously, you evoke so many powerful and heartbreaking emotions and states of mind.

The start of this chapter was excellent, conveying just enough to give us context but leaving the rest in mystery so as to avoid an exposition dump and keep us in Judy's frame of mind. And oh my is it a sad and painful state of mind, harried, frayed, rushed, heartbroken with barely a moment to think as she desperately tries to hold on to her self esteem and dignity while surrounded by hostility or indifference.

Clauhauser was precious and a much needed presence, bringing some comfort and levity, Judy's "It was Clawhauser" line was great feeling very in character and the scene transition was extremely smooth.

Her being kicked out of the station and refusing to cry and those final lines, her resisting crying even if there were a riot, and then trying to pull herself back together, my goodness was that heartbreaking and so very 'in the moment' of someone in that situation.

Excellent work you broke my heart and I want more!
