it was non-blizzarding outside finally, so I went outside and got distracted :p
anyways, I have to say this is my favorite line: Eighteen hours. During eighteen hours, she never slept. She beat at the door, she pounded on the windows, criedandscreamedandclawedandkicked but she never slept, not for a moment.
and this!
She looks up again and sees that he’s laid his phone on the ground so they can see each other. His features swim in and out of the darkness, but she can see that he’s sincere enough. After a moment’s hesitation, she scoots across the floor to sit next to him. Without a word, his arm goes around her and pulls her close so that she is half in his lap. A glance up at his face shows that he isn’t looking at her, but frowning at the corner where she had been. He glances down at her after a moment and gives her a tiny smile. She doesn’t return it and he simply puts his hand on her head and strokes her hair.
Vulnerable!Britta, plus a really dark fic about her past? Man, this is like crack for me. It's a bonus that it's tremendously well-written, and you've kept them both so solidly in character, right down to Jeff initially complaining about it (HA!)
