Great fiction!I actually like most of all that there is no real happy end.I mean they came closer to each other again but they have no common future!There are so many fics in which they deciding at the end to give it a real try!

Oh, I really enjoyed this! Job well done. It was chock full of lines that were quite smart to read and equally believable to imagine one or the both of them speaking. Call me a dreamer, but it's hard for me to see/read stories where Jack is the weak, crumpled man unable to support himself, even if it is for the moment, but I felt myself ease into this story as your unique format and style convinced me to see otherwise.

This especially is a fav line of mine: I considered his words. “But whatever happens, you always give the families something they would never find elsewhere. Something they couldn’t live without.”

“And what’s that?”

“Hope, Jack,” I explained softly. “You give them hope.”

Wow. That was great.

Aw, yay a new Jack/Sam story! This was so bittersweet, they are so in tune and connected to eachother, it's beautiful...but so sad.
This is my favorite part I think...:
"We moved against each other, hands clinging to whatever would bring us nearer, his quiet sobs echoing the incoherent words and gasps that escaped our throats. But we didn’t pause to think, we didn’t pull away and we didn’t stop, because it was fitting, somehow, that this day, which had begun with something totally unexpected, would end with something more unexpected still."
Such a emotional way to describe this...I loved it...it was so fitting for them. Well done hon, I LOVED it!

Beautiful opening: The quotation from George Carlin, "There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls," sets the scene perfectly which is followed by a lovely descriptive passage of the bar.
I also liked Sam's gentle argument beginning with, "What do I tell them...the parents who are looking for their missing children?"
I do think, however, that "ran his fingers through my blond strands" could be improved by merely having his run his fingers through her hair. Not crazy about "blond strands." But that's about my only criticism of what is really a story that touches the heart.
And your transitions are excellent, very unobtrusive.
You've done us J/S fans proud!

Loved your story. It was very well written.

That was great. :)

Nice job!

Wow what a story! So sad. I wish Sam had went up with him! Great, beautiful writing:)

OMG!
I LOVED the story! Your idea was great and I loved how you executed it.
It's about time that I read another J/S fic. I think I was due. :P

Favorite Line: “Are we over?” he repeated. He was drunk, but that voice… that voice knew where it was headed.

This line...delivered after that smoldering kiss...would rock any red-blooded girl right to her knees! You made me angry, made me happy, made me hopeful, and made me sad all in one short story. Well done.
