SPRING FEVER

Maybe it's the weather.

It isn’t actually the first day of spring - that was a few weeks ago. It was cold and rainy, and the streets were still running with slush and mud. Today, though...Today the sun is shining, and not with that weak, wintery light either. Alex can feel it strong and warm on her face, and the city looks ( Read more... )

I don't watch CI, but I really liked this. The opening section, with her running and feeling the spring, got me.

Good work!

Thank you! Thanks especially for giving the fic a chance even though you don't watch the show. I'm very happy to know that it worked for you even without knowing the characters...

Really great, beautiful and well-characterized and hopeful.

Thanks! I'm glad you found it in-character...it started out as a pretty (in my mind) OOC scenario. But hey, that is why they call it crack fic and I have to admit it was fun to write! ;)

I LOVE this! It's romantic, yet it's not, yet it is. SO Goren/Eames. :)

I'm glad you had Alex, once again, save herself rather than be rescued.

And the sex is perfect -- awkward, funny, and hot all at the same time. Great stuff!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :)

Yes...it was important to me that Alex save herself, not only because she is awesome and fully capable, but also because the whole story is basically about her kicking butt and taking names, in several different ways. ;)

Wow, what a great fic! I love how you incorporated the ptsd, and how made it believable and romantic.

Thank you very much! I'm very glad you found it believable...especially given that the premise I started with (sex in the car) could be considered pretty out-of-character for both Bobby and Alex. I liked the challenge of that - it's one of the reasons I picked the prompt. ;)

And I am a big fan of canon events having lasting consequences. Recovering from any kind of trauma takes time and WORK, and the effects don't necessarily ever go away completely. I wish the show had given us a few more glimpses of Bobby and Alex dealing with that. But oh well - that is what fic is for...
