good one.

Of course it's a dream....there's no happy ever after for him,nor for Carrie.

[wisteria_]

Thanks! Yeah, he just wants it to be over, even though he knows he'll never be happy. But he's in too deeply now.

Very nice! :)

[wisteria_]

Thank you!

That was beautiful. A lifetime, imagined in the span of heartbeats. Oh, I wish they could have that life together.

[wisteria_]

Thanks, dearie! I can see him getting swept up in that fantasy, as a way out of this mess. A way to be happy. But it's never going to be in the cards for them. (Though sometimes I wonder if I keep telling myself that they won't have a happy ending in order to steel myself against the inevitable - or whether that IS indeed inevitable. Who knows? The show has a way of zigging when we think it'll zag. ;)

My first Homeland fic! And of course, being by you, it is good.

[wisteria_]

Ah, thank you so much! I'm pleased that this was your first fic -- though I suspect it's one of the only Homeland fics out there. We really need to change that. ;)

Aw. A lovely bittersweet dream. It was too good to be true, of course. I do wonder what will happen tomorrow night!! I love that anything is possible!
