Love it. I'm wondering how long it will be before Robert finally realises that his fiancée is a huge homo?

Thank you!

Oh, it gets worse on the actual show, which unfortunately will be in the next chapter since I'm following canon. So if you're put off now, you will want to rip your hair out if you ever get around to actually watching the show. At least you only have to read about things in my story haha. It's a little more annoying when you see it on TV or your computer screen right in front of you with NO feasible explanation on the show whatsoever, which was why I wrote the story in the first place.

Since the majority of people watching were Cabot fans from SVU (at least until they thought her character was ruined beyond repair), I guess they assumed that we all knew Alex's history and could automatically conclude PTSD from it to explain her erratic, out-of-character behavior at times. However, it irked me that they threw her into these types of scenarios without even bothering to explain or mention anything about her past or history with SVU. Bad move on their part.

So happy to see you continuing the story. It's such a nice distraction from the lack of Alex on SVU.

Thank you! I miss Alex!

I thought for sure that the scene at the restaurant was going to be a complete disaster but it was perfect. Way to show mercy....and way to show Robert something that he files away in his memory banks. I just hope THAT doesn't become a disaster somewhere down the road. So glad to see an update. I really like this story, Alex's naive aspirations notwithstanding.

Re: Phewwww chestnayalyubov September 30 2010, 14:36:08 UTC

Haha, yeah, I had originally written ahead (2 or 3 years ago) to have it be a disaster, but I think with all the other angst I've done that it didn't really fit now with where I'm going. I didn't want it to be drama every chapter because if you've seen Conviction, you can guess that the drama will create itself farther on. So I changed things to be much softer and without the fighting.

It's funny because I wrote several parts of this story back in 2007 and it was only intended to be around 12 chapters. I keep a master file where I write all the chapters and the original parts were pushed down to the very end. So when I go back and reread things, it's interesting to determine what parts I still plan on keeping/adapting or laughing because there's no way I'd write them in now.

Thanks for your compliments on the story!

The compliments are deserved. And thank you for the lack of 'neurotic disasters'. lol

I may be on thin ice here but I'll tell you exactly why I like your story so much. It is similar to A Woman Undone which I spent untold hours salivating over only to grow extremely tired of the psychotic on and off again and then become completely disgusted with the ending which seemed to me to be nothing more than a hasty ending to something the author had grown tired of at best, or deliberate cruelty to the fandom at worst.
Your story has it's share of on and off again but it's a 'cut above' and the 'on again' is oh so sweet. Just my two cents worth. Very glad to see someone sustain the same story over such a long period of time. Not intending to be greedy, but I'm curious about your long range plans for Nichya. I can easily see how continuing and ending that one could be be very complicated.

Staying tuned til the end,
Tuesboomer

Well, I hope this doesn't ruin things for you, but my story WILL have a happy ending, despite the Conviction crap that will probably make you pull your hair out in the upcoming chapters ( ... )
