shadowsamurai83 2008-07-23 ch 13,	abuseWell, I'm half way through and this story has me hooked, line and sinker. It's gripping, it's sweet, it's funny, it's intense...and I have to go to work. Damn! Will read more later! :D
Elliesmeow 2008-02-29 ch 26,	abuseThat was a really intense fic. Sara's rape was terrible and I'm glad she and Warrick were able to get through it together. I liked that she had Nathaniel to help pull her through the tough times and give her something positive in her life. I would hope that Rosa knows she not only did the best thing for her son but she did something really great for Sara too, made her life better by trusting her with Nate. Thanks for posting. -Ellie
Cosmic Fool 2008-02-02 ch 26,	abuseI want another baby after reading this! Lol, though I bet if my daughter was awake and screaming instead of fast asleep in her cot it would be a different case. This is a fantastic story, I really loved reading in (In fact, I should have gone to bed a couple of hours ago lol). The one thing I would say, is that by the time Nate was 18 months, he probably would be saying a few words. My daughter is 17 months, and she can say a decent handful of words. Mummy, Nana, Phoebe, dog, duck, ta, shoe etc. Anyway, this is now on my favorites list. Well done on a fantastic story.
Katlynn888 2007-12-28 ch 12,	abuseYES! Well, it's not Sara and 'Rick, but it's some one! Warrie is my new pet name for Warrick. I just had to say that, to get it out. My mom freaks out every time I yell at the TV "WARRIE! LOOK, MOM, IT'S WARRIE!" -Lynn
Katlynn888 2007-12-28 ch 10,	abuse"Hi, I'm with the Las Vegas Crime Lab," she mutters, still asleep "Do you have a minute?" Ha, ha. Love it! Uhg, but, you seriously got me going when she was raped. Good thing she took it well,huh? 'Cuz I didn't and it looks like Warrick didn't, either! -Lynn
Katlynn888 2007-12-28 ch 4,	abuseUHG! JUST KISS HER ALREADY! Warrick is deficiant in that sort of thing. Nice story! I so love Nate! So cute (Even if it is all in our heads) -Lynn
TVCrazed 2007-11-04 ch 26,	abuseWOW. THIS STORY WAS ABSOLUTELY GREAT. I LOVED IT.
NoDakGrl 2007-09-20 ch 26,	abuseLove the story. I was never a Warrick/Sara shipper, but I am now!
topsy910 2006-12-27 ch 25,	abuseHi I read this story ages ago, but found it again recently and still loved it! What I love about this story is that you didn't turn sara into a helpless weak victim, she's still sara and its believeable. Loads of stories recently on the subject of rape/assault involving sara have made her this helpless weak character which is just not realistic and kind of pathetic! So thank you for a good story!
oval 2006-12-22 ch 26,	abuseWarrick/Sara, Grissom/Catherine, AND a fantastic plot-line? It must be my lucky day! The connection between Sara and Warrick was so perfect--there was just enough angst and fluff and humor and... it was just so good. Well-written, too. And everyone else was in character, something not many authors can achieve (I especially loved Greg... ha, Egg). And Nate! He was adorable and a really great way to connect Sara and Warrick--they both felt a strong responsibility and love for him and it was so touching. The quotes you had at the beginning of each chapter fit so well into the story. They really added something to it. Okay, so you get my point. This story is amazing. I love it.
Chione of the Nile 2006-12-08 ch 26,	abuseI've read this story twice, so I figured that I should leave a review: I love it. I loved the WS, how everything all fell together, it was an awsome story. The only thing that I absolutly loathed to the point of gagging about it was the GC, I had to skip thoses chapters, otherwise, great fic! Chione
TheHamsterInMyMind 2006-09-23 ch 26,	abuseI officially love your story. It really was great and the characters... woah! what can I say. Your characterization just blew my mind (especially when you brought us into the mind of the serial killer). I loved how you captured each person's traits, and the entire story was so touching... Keep up the great writing!
Review1234 2006-07-18 ch 26, anon.	abuseTruly, this review has taken too long to write, but upon reading Rosa Avery's letter more closely the second time through, I now realize I'll be able to leave you a review worthy of your talents -- or as close to one as a person as myself can write. :) The first time I read this chapter, the letter, it was probably quickly and without any thought, and that's why I wasn't able to leave even a halfway-decent review. In all honesty, I wasn't the greatest fan of the ending, was actually shocked because all your other endings seemed so much better compared to this one. I know, I know; that's probably (maybe) shocking coming from someone who leaves you mountains of praise for your work -- or at least hills of praise, I would hope -- but it's honest. Anyway, I felt I had to say that before I actually reviewed this, because otherwise, it would have nagged at me for a while if I hadn't. Now to the review. Now, after reading this again, I realize this ending is perfect, and I'll tell you why: Because much of what Rosa Avery says in her letter are some things through which Sara has been in the show and your story -- but, unlike Rosa Avery, Sara's problems have resolutions. Yes, she has fallen for the wrong guy, has needed someone -- or people -- to love, has had things happen to her that shouldn't have, and so on, and even though this is common knowledge after watching the show and reading your story, you portray it very...well, very creatively. You have Rosa Avery assume that none of this has happened to Sara; you create an astounding irony for the reader, like a professional would do. In the end, it's obvious that, if Sara did not resolve her problems, such as being raped and chasing and dating the wrong men, she and Rosa would have much more in common than Rosa knew. Rosa, before her death, only had to hope that, from what she knew about Sara, that Sara would be a decent parent to Nate. Your story aligns beautifully, because you tie in the theme to the title, the actions, the characters, and especially, the conflict and resolution. You have two problems in this story, both involving Sara, but instead of just focusing around Sara, Sara, and more Sara, which would, for someone such as me who isn't the President of the Sara Sidle Fan Club, grow repetitious and slightly boring, you show all the characters, involve them all in the story, and even change Sara's life dramatically. It's different, bold, inspiring, and glamorous story, even in all its drama, conflicts, and hardship. I love this story, love it as much as can be healthy. ;) Jade, it has truly been a pleasure to read your story, and I cannot wait for your next CSI fanfiction. Please don't make it long. :) Thank you, as always, for writing, and even though I know you will, keep doing so, because if you didn't, well, that would be too great a shame even for my millions of words.
Review1234 2006-04-21 ch 25, anon.	abuse“'Sure, whatever you say, Egg,' Catherine quips before clapping her hands together." This is why you'll be winning all the awards as a young adult and famous author and why I'll be clapping obnoxiously loudly from the sidelines. Really. That is, if you invite me to the ceremony. ;) And this wasn't super-cheesy. Yeah, cheesy enough, but not "someonekillmenow" cheesy. At least Catherine, Grissom, Sara, Warrick, and the rest aren't buying overly-priced houses in Hawaii while having loads and loads of perfect children. Those are the silent killer stories lurking in-between the pages on ;) Your story, on the other hand, is written so well and so un-cheesily that it makes the killer ones scream in horror and turn their tails and run, if I can put it less eloquently. (It's a tad bit graphic for a review.) As usual, your characterization is right on -- especially for Catherine and Greg this chapter; you nailed them down exactly as they would be on the show. And the piece right at the end where you reveal Sara and Warrick's marriage is not the least bit rushed. Sure, usually when most people slip something like that in at the end, it's rushed, but you, my dear Jade, are not like most people. Your work screams professionalism and skill, and each word is just as meaningful as the one before it and after it. Your descriptions enlighten the mind and allow the reader to see everything as it happens from a "godly" point-of-view, yet you also allow the reader to feel as though the reader can interact with all the characters. Your characters, situation, and your writing are all so real I want to reach out my hand and touch them. You're really that great. :) So, to end this review, I'd like to say that this is an unforgettable story written by an unforgettable author and person. Thank you. (And I shall review the last chapter when I come back. Promise. The last chapter and Lizzy's second chapter.) Bye!
icklebitodd 2006-04-19 ch 26,	abuseTHE LETTER, the key to a huge part of your story is here. WO. Throughout I couldn't but think how rational this woman was as well as laugh at the reasonng behind choosing Sara. I loved this story and it is one of few w/s stories that I have throughly enjoyed and made the relationship seem valid and substainable. Your approach to Sara adopting a child whilst not a new venture was done in a refreshing way and certainly made me smile with Nate's little Gap boots. In short - I Loved it!
