*sniff* That was heartbreaking. Loved the icy Veronica who's pretty much numb to the world and how Weevil wasn't really surprised when she arrested him...le sigh. And honestly, I didn't even realize what the 'cliche' was until I finished and wondered what I'd missed. :)

You know...our Muses must be twins. Or they get drunk at the same bar.

*hugs* Thanks so, so much! :)

Yes, I think our Muses definitely frequent the same bar. ;) And I'm so glad they do! Cuz, well, it's nice to not be the only person writing them totally fucked up.

the cliche is the 'forced sex' thing--you know...I think it's referred to as the 'locked room' cliche. I've seen it in every fandom ever, but it's still fun to play around with and make 'my own.' Actually, I think it's the first one I've done. Huh. Apparently I was slow to jump on that bandwagon.

Sigh. And sigh again. This fic is just a slam in the gut all the way around, tragic and sexy and just beautiful.

Thank you so much! For the beta and the handholding...I know I'm nuts. Thanks for going along with it. :)

And of course for the wonderous comments. :)

This was amazing. It makes me so sad to think that this is how their lives have ended up, her so cut off from everything, and Weevil...:(

You did icy Veronica very well though, described it well, got her dialouge perfect. and then the slowly weaving the past into the story.

it makes me so sad, but so happy at the same time, cos this was a REALLY good fic. :)

Thank you so much! That was really what I hoped people would get out of it, so I'm really thrilled that you thought it was good and sad. :)

I love the way you started this fic, Kate. You reeled me in like a fish with Veronica getting dressed for her undercover assignment: It was second nature at this point. Holster inside the thigh. Short skirt. Shorter shirt. Fuck-me heels and hard-soled stockings, in case things went bad and she had to run.

Someday, she was going to take Biggs up on those donuts he kept offering her, and then this seduction scenario would fall to someone else. Those two hours a day in the gym were suddenly looking like a one-way ticket to endless assignments involving calf-killing heels and skimpy outfits.

It reminds me of Scully teaching Tea Leoni how to run in heels during "Hollywood A.D." LMAO.

The imagery of him "checking" her over was SO so perfect...so yummy and descriptive.

One small nit: Veronica had gotten to know the real Lucinda fairly well during her time working that sting, and the persona-quiet and flirtaceous-was easy to adopt. Should be "flirtatious"...

Adored this: She ignored him and stepped forward obediently, letting Carlos ( ... )

*revels in marvelous feedback*

Thank you, dear! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for catching that typo...I musta missed it in the corrections. :(

I'm so glad you liked it, and found a few places that were hawt...like I said, it was more dark than hawt. *shrug* I just go where the must takes me.

SO glad you liked the ending, and saw the symmetry. YAY!

You make my day better, dear. :)

Ouch! Nice and dark and a perfectly possible futurefic. I loved it! So many of us keep writing rather fluffy things without acknowledging the core of who the characters are. I love that you had Veronica in law enforcement and Weevil still on the other side. The weariness of it resonated.

And so THAT's what that snippet you showed me in AIM belonged to! Hee!

I LOVE fluffy fic!! My muse? Not so much.

But I'm glad you felt it sorta followed logically from what we know of them. I was a bit worried about characterization. *hugs you* Thanks so much for commenting!!

And, yes, that's what I was spamming you with. :) Told ya you'd finish before me. ;)
