Fic-Solitary Confinement

[jb1183]

I’ve been in this room for weeks, maybe even months now. I’ve completely lost track of time, so I can’t be sure anymore. There aren’t any windows, so I don’t even know when it’s day and when it’s night. I just stay awake until I’m tired and then I sleep until I wake up.

And every new “day,” I hope and pray that this will be the one when they decide

What an absolutely charming way to write our boys,

I have read some stories over my Nuke time but this was fabulous Jim, loved how you managed to incorporate all elements of their love in it.

Well done may I have your permission to download to my Kindle.

Thank you so much, Paul! I honestly had no idea what I was going to write for the longest time and then this just came to me. I'm touched that it has gotten such a positive response. And I'm grateful for your constant encouragement. I know I can always count on you for a kind word!

And, yes, you absolutely have my permission to download it to your kindle, and you can feel free to go ahead and download anything I write in the future, too!

Thanks again!

Oh, Stella, I know your story is going to be awesome. I'm excited to read it! And thank you very much for your kind words. I appreciate them so much!

Awww, that's adorable. Crazy and cracky...but adorable. Good way to vent all those pent up frustrations I bet. Congrats on a winner!

Thank you Cindy. I turned to fanfic to find closure after the horrible ending and I kind of feel like this story symbolizes me coming to ultimate peace with the way it all went down and focusing on their enduring legacy. Thanks so much for your words!

Jim, this was MAGICAL. It captured how Jake & Van felt, how I felt, damn how we all felt, when this was going down. And in a good way it makes me feel at ease with how things are now. And yes, I am sure Jake read some fanfic, and will find some solace in it.
You found a way to guide your feelings of bereavement in a beautifull piece of work. And i am sure all (on this side of the fandom) agree with you, that it is now up to us , to keep their love alive. Thanks for sharing

MAGICAL? How kind of you to say, Paul. I didn't discover Nuke until after the show was off the air, but I actually GRIEVED for their relationship during the final storyline. Writing this helped ME feel at ease with how things are now and I think I've finally accepted that, yes, Nuke fans got screwed, but Nuke's enduring impact is what's really important. And, yes, the ending is kind of a little "call to action." And we're definitely up to the challenge! Thanks so much!

WOW, Jim. This was not only original, it somehow managed to be both a sweet portrayal of Luke & Noah's connection, and a *scathing* indictment of the ATWT writing team. And telling this from Noah's POV was a master stroke. His confusion absolutely portrays that of Nuke fans - he's our voice here.

Somebody should send this to TPTB formerly @ ATWT.

I'm glad that "original" and "innovative" seem to be the buzzwords about this and not "weird" and "confusing."

Thanks so much, Nic! I'm glad that both the sweetness and the cynicism blended nicely for you. And, yes, I think I've finally worked through my rage issues with the ATWT writing team-cheaper than therapy, I guess! And the Noah POV was the first decision I made and everything else kind of fell together after that! I'm grateful for your encouragement and for hosting the First Annual Nuke Mini Bang!
