Aww! I nearly cried! So sad.

Absolutely amazing. Very well written. I love the repetition of "Red's a good color on you" and how you added in a line of the 12 Days of Christmas Scrubs parody. I love you made JD kiss Elliot, despite the fact she's dead. It seems very in character for him. I'm going to check if you have written any more Scrubs fics.

I love every word of this, so much so that I have no idea where to begin this review. I guess I'll just start by saying that this was a fantastic read, one that chilled me to my very core while still engaging me on a critical level as well.

The writing is superb. You've composed this story with such attention to detail, writing what needs to be written but in a manner that aids the flow of events rather than hindering it. At the same time, those same words read as obscure and disorientating, transforming mere sentances into a sheer emotional connection with JD as we experience his shock, horror and denial over what had happened. Even the flashback in the middle of the story felt like it belonged, and I really liked how you integrated JD's sentance ("Red's a good colour on you") into the story, turning a flattering compliment into a most sinister observation.

As for the subject matter itself - wow. You really threw me with this one. While it wasn't hard to deduct what the story was about, what with the summary and the warning, when it registered in both JD's mind and ours that Elliot was dead it was like a bomb went off inside my head. Like other reviewers, it didn't send me into tears, but rather I felt an almost overwhelming feeling of sadness, especially after reading the flashback. The way you wrote the two of them together in that small frame of time was absolutely beautiful - you could really see the chemistry and the love between JD and Elliot, and how well they complement each other. The sudden loss and lifelessness of Elliot was a devistating contrast to the laughter and life in the flashback. It was heartbreaking to read.

Every one of your stories are special, and this one is no exception to that. While I don't often read JD/Elliot in fanfiction (though I most definitely support them in the show), I'd definitely love to read more of your work, either of this nature or of a happier one. You stay unwaveringly true to the characters, and while this story wasn't particularly happy in nature, it was a well-written and compelling tale.

Good work doesn't begin to cover it.

I would hate you so much for writing this if it wasn't so damn good!

Honest to god, it's incredible. The thing is, I didn't cry as I would've expected to. Rather, all the description and the writing just left me feeling that same sense of shock and disbelief and confusion that JD was feeling. And I think that might have been your intention.

I think your repitition of the 'Red's a good colour on you' was creative, but holy crap it was heart wrenching! I can't believe how good that was. And then when you added the 'A drunk who drove into a tree.' To be honest, I first read this yesterday very quickly as I was getting ready for college (I was subsequently depressed for the rest of the day! lol) and I missed that, so at the time I was wondering what had actually happened to Elliot. After reading it more carefully today and noticing that - adding that in was brilliant because it just explained it all. I used to find that 12 Days Of Christmas parody hilarious, but I doubt I'll be able to listen to it the same way again now!

There's a weird thing that makes this oneshot that much more heartwrenching. Right now we have some quite bad snow here and we have a lot of anti-drink driving campaigns going on. I've had the radio on as I've been writing this and one of the campaign adverts is just the sound of people in a pub, then somebody getting in a car before it skids. You hear a woman screaing, before there's the sound of a heart monitor bleeping before flatlining. Hearing that just after reading this was extremely strange. But that was just coincidence, as coincidence would have it.

Anyway, to sum up, brilliant oneshot. But I really do hope you write a happy JD/Elliot fic at some point, because you're a brilliant writer and I think you could write a really good JD/Elliot fic. :)

Short but powerful story. This was so tragic, I thought it was great.

Hey this was fantastic! So sad but so brilliant at the same time.

This was absolutely beautiful from the repetition of the phrase, "Red's a good color on you." to the juxtaposition of the crimson blood against the backdrop of the stark white snow. This story brought tears to my eyes and reminded me to let those I truly value in this world know that I love them.

...too lazy to log in...

Wow...wow that's really sad. But well written, powerful...and a nice change from your JDox stories.

Poor Jd :(

Oh, come on! You killed her! That's just mean! *sigh* Everyone kills one of the two... but you should write another chapter. Please?

This story was so tragic! It was really believable with the way JD refused to believe Elliot was dead, and with what he'd said about red being a good colour on her coming back to haunt him.
