This was absolutely fabulous. From the hospital room to time with her dad in the cabin to the swing scene and to the scene in the shrink's office. All which I wanted to see more of. Like when she told the shrink she lied about not remembering, what happened next? Curiosity was killing me until I read your fic which answered some of my questions. I know that there was a limit of time the show could devote to her recovery but I wish they spent 5 mins more. Hopefully they'll show more of her sessions with the doctor in future eps and maybe she'll some day explain to him that she never meant for it to be 3 months - it just did. I love the way you said that time went without her permission. Thank You for making my Saturday great!
THIS. IS. PERFECT. I feel like you know Beckett so well, and this just added every piece of insight I wanted from her end to this episode so flawlessly.
And gah, I really hadn't thought about how her lie could have been impulsive, that her "I heard..." wording could have been unintentional, and she made a knee jerk reaction to lie when he gave her the opportunity and that's all that was. She's being so obvious now with her shift in dynamic with him, I feel like she's really not trying that hard to hold it in anymore, and that totally fits with her having said she doesn't remember in the moment, and not planned.
Thank you so much, I can't tell you how nice it is to hear that someone thinks I 'get' Beckett! I love writing her and all I can ever do is hope that my version of her resonates with people. ♥
It hadn't occurred to me either that it might not have been an intentional lie until I was writing this but I like the implications it could have so I'm going to choose to believe that's how it went down hee ;D
