abuseYou are a mind reader! A psychic! A worker of magic! Since beaujolais told me I should check out your fic, "Code of Silence," I came straight over, and it was so good that I had to see other stuff. MAN! What have I been missing? If I didn't absolutely positively feel like my head would hit the keyboard any minute (I'm so friggin' tired!) I'd probably stay up all night to read your other fics. You're a talented writer...and, as I've already stated, a mind reader. You said everything the rest of us were all thinking, and you did it with skill and flare. You have a distinct voice that is a joy to read. I hope you keep writing far far far into the future.

abuseDANG! I just found this piece...and am SO SORRY i'm so late!!
my sentiments are quite the same as the millions of others who were let down by this...UGH...of an episode! What you capture in this oneshot is incredible...gut wrenching even!!
So many times...Grissom hides behind his inability to relate...using it as an excuse to avoid situations he feels like he can't win. It's sad...the man knows what he's doing, yet doesn't seem quite able to grasp HOW he can change.
Is it really that hard to open up a little and share your life with another human?
We all know he's capable...I mean...that little bit in "Still Life" wasn't a fluke of character!
Anyway...
man o man...the imagery you provide of "the grainy image of Nick's anquished face"...the man's voice choking as he spoke what he thought were his final words...totally and completely had my stomach tied in knots...
the idea that Grissom struggles the most with that...that Nick thought he'd die a failure...WOW...i can't find the words to put in this box...
this is simply amazing writing!
again...sorry I didn't read this sooner...

abuseThis is wonderful story and a powerful character study. I was also disapointed by the curt manner in which Grissom dismissed Nick's case, making no apology for keeping Nick in the dark about the voice on the tape. It makes you wonder if they just got tired of the story-line, or if the writers have some kind of confrontation in the works for these two. BTW, Nick is my absolute favorite CSI, with Greg and Grissom tied for a close second. Again, a wonderful, well written story. More-more-more!

abuseOkay, so my only excuse for this delay is my lack of an internet connection for the last several days. Mea culpa!

Another wonderfully written, beeyootiful take on Grissom from you. Gawd, he's so socially frigid! and he knows it which makes it that more heart-rending. And more infuriating! Yes! You DO know the words to say! Stop playing the "socially inept" card! You knew exactly what was needed and you still sat there like a ... okay. Mini-rant over. Breathe deep ...

And of course, the wonderful tying in of the title, the beginning, the four words he said! STOOPID!
and the four words he didn't say...“But I disappointed you.”

Mayhap we should formulate a plan wherein we abduct the mentally constipated writers and put you in their place, hm? and yes, i used mayhap, just for you! Nice job, AGAIN, Dani! :)

and aw...you gave me a shout out! the response to mine was decidedly...um...different than to yours but i did probably squick some people out! Funny how an episode we all loathed for its lack of creativity and trueness to character birthed a fic of this caliber!

abuseVery nice. I liked how you got into Grissom's head and let us know what he might have been thinking, and what his reasons for keeping the tape secret might have been.

abuseGreat story...and yes, the episode was anticlimatic, it felt so wrong. I was like, this can't be it. Really, I expected more as well. Gah, TPTB need fanfiction writers to take over for awhile, let's start with your story. Good job.

abuseI think it was brilliant and don't have other words to describe your write here.
I couldn't be able to see the ep because it will be on TV maybe at the end of Feb (I'm from Brasil) but read a lot about it and felt very disappointed with the way it turned. How could they did it?
Thank you very much for share your thoughts and feelings with us.

abuseNow, see if THIS was the kind of stuff that the writers actually decided to include in the episode, then I think that they would have done the characters justice. But no, like you said - four words and it's done. Next case! It's so flippin' stupid and I'm so worried that they just might actually never come back to it and that the whole storyline will just die. I don't know why they did - too complicated to really and rightfully get into? An easy way out of such a in-depth complicated plot and amazing episode that they thought that they couldn't do it right? They were high when they wrote it? I don't get it. From the post-eps that I read, I think that if a bunch of us ficcers got together, we would have produced a much more satisfying close (but a REAL close, because it's over right?) to this storyline. Argh. But I really, really was impressed with this. I love how you explore Grissom's thoughts so deeply - I think this might be how he would feel. You get a gold star.
Later!

abuseGreat continuation of a rather disappointing CSI episode!
You wrapped some loose ends up nicely; thanks for sharing.

abuseWow, I got chills from reading that. I was going to attempt a fic like this, but you did an excellent job- mine would pale in comparison. Everything that needed to be said was said, and everything we're thinking was finally put into words. I just don't see why the writers can't have Grissom act human once and a while. When Sara said "I guess some people just shouldn't be together", he just made a face, and said nothing. No matter if you're GSR, Greg/Sara, Nick/Sara, anything, he should have said SOMETHING to Sara.

I feel so bad for Nick, no one comforts him, no one even hugs him, and they all act like 'the incident' is something that shouldn't be talked about, when he obviously needs to talk about it.

Nice job,
