 space77 2008-11-26 . chapter 1Wow, what a beginning! I was convinced you were going to kill off one of them (you aren't, are you? *shudder*) when I was coming up on the "And some people die," part... thankyou thankyou for not! lol (At least, not YET!) But this was very insightful into their current relationship and a beautiful take on what (hopefully) is to come for them.
So many great lines:
> A mechanical, brilliant, focused anthropologist with no hint of human in there anywhere.
> Playing with Parker, falling in love with his familiar eyes, realising that how much a father loved a son was stronger than science could provide her answers for.
> He knew, without a doubt, that if anything ever happened to her, he could no longer be held responsible for his actions. And she knew, from those two weeks, the worst two weeks of her whole life, how she shut down without him there. How they couldn’t function alone anymore.
> How it took a good ten minutes before his heart rate slowed again, all the time thoughts flying through his head, thoughts he’d hardly allowed himself to think before, thoughts feeling running deeper than words could convey.
Just gorgeous, hon! You are painting quite a beautiful picture and I can't wait to see where it goes from here!
