Stop thinking this isn't/wasn't good enough! *Stamps foot!*

It very very much is! The little memory section you've written holds so much intimacy in there. And it's hot and cute and lovely. I love how you write these two - it makes me want to ship them.

You just gave me butterflies with this.

My lazy ass has finally reviewed! I love the flirty banter of Warrick and Cath at the beginning - rather bittersweet in that the effing writers never let the relationship evolve more. Such a great coupling! (my fave after Snickers, as you know). I love that Greg is the one who comforts her in the present. He's goofy a lot but he's a good listener, I would think. And the part at the end with Lindsey calling - her future - was a perfect ending to show that Cath still has hope for her future. And, let's hope that her future does not including getting with Nick, and feeling up his bicep more. Ugh!!

Good job, llk!

Aw, I love this piece. Warrick and Catherine... Thinking about Warrick just makes me depressed. *Sigh*

But the beginning is great. I love the metaphor of soldiers you've used for teh shot glasses. Almost ironic, really. But having them 'fall' as she drinks them. I loved that. Easily one of the better continuous metaphors I've ever read.

Also, Catherine trying to convince Warrick to buy her tequila, which will never happen. And telling him she doesn't want to dance, which is also pointless.

Hell, who could refuse Warrick!?

I've only ever written one night club scene, and they're so much fun to write. You can have so much without words, or without anyhting really HAPPENING. There's an odd calmness that I feel with scenes like this.

And the conversation with Greg. I say this all the time, but how do you not love Greg? He's jsut adorable, and it is almost logical for him to be the one she (albeit reluctantly) opens up to.

And the fact that she's never really specified what her relationship with Warrick really was. Even though it was slightly more than friendship, they were still best friends.

And then Lindsey calls. I like that. It's an almost hopeful note to end on. She misses Warrick, she's divorced, but she has Lindsey.

Very sweet!

Your characterization is phenomenal, particularly for Warrick. I particularly liked his line, “I’m all that and so much more." :D I loved Greg’s exasperation at his case and then his heartfelt words for Catherine at the end. I loved Catherine wanting to put the photo away, as though if she shared it with anyone else the memory might not last as long. And, of course, her “back-to-business” attitude – very collected, very Catherine, indeed.

The story overall was a beautiful peek into Catherine and Warrick’s friendship. I loved that they were so physically close when Catherine needed comfort. I could imagine that his holding her on the dance floor did more for her than any words he could’ve chosen. Also, I loved that you opened the story as though Warrick were still alive. It had me hoping that you had willfully ignored his being fatally shot in an alleyway, although I’m a canon girl all the way and I don’t think I would’ve been as satisfied with it as I was. Also, Warrick is very much alive in Catherine’s memory, and it was a fantastic way to convey that.

I also loved the way you wrapped it up, with Lindsey, representative of the future in the challenge, calling Catherine. I smiled, just like Catherine did, when I read her name.

Beautiful work, LLK!!

Lovely story! Like how you portray the friendship of Cath and Warrick. This is really a nice story as a tribute to their friendship which the show failed to explore more!
