I love one word story titles. Yay! :)

I read this fic awhile ago and I guess I never reviewed cuz I came back to this to find that I'd written the above line, but never submitted the review! *FAIL* Sorry!

I could TOTALLY imagine a scene like this, although I don't think it's what we're gonna get, but I love Dave's perspective as he's watching Nathan and Audrey's interactions. What really jumps out at me is how certain Nathan is in his responses to Dave and that is something I always would have liked to see more of in Nathan regardless of if him and Audrey are actually together. I find it interesting what Dave observes. You have his voice down clearly, even when he is not speaking. His perspective totally rings true and brings with it so many shady implications that only HE knows and we (the audience) do not.

This line sold me: "Maybe if Nathan goes with her, they'll somehow be forgiven whatever cosmic wrong they've committed that's brought on this pestilence." - To me, that is everything that Nathan and Audrey are and could be in the future if Nathan actually did go with her. This line is outstanding, vivid, pulsating and just SO THEM. With extra emphasis on the word pestilence.

I admit to wanting to write a fic similar to yours, but what came out of me was "The Next Ten Minutes" story. Guess that's inspiration for ya. ;)

Amazing one shot. You should make this into a multi chapter fic. It was interesting to see a story with a Teague POV. This was amazingly well written.

Interesting...
That was the first thought when I read over it, interesting idea. It would be something I see happening in the show and that's only strengthened by your writing of the characters and this one shot. Excellent work.

Would love to read more.

Thank you so much for writing this, I've walked around with this huge smile on my face all morning.

IIt's no use, in the end, because Nathan's attentions are focused fully on Audrey. The long fingers of one hand find hers, as the second comes up to tuck a wayward lock behind her ear. She's looking at him like he's the last sane piece of her existence.

And the intimacy would be touching if it wasn't so ludicrous, but the words he's trying to form won't come, and instead Nathan's gravely response echoes with finality in the small space.

"Doesn't matter."/I

That bit, Wow. I can see it perfectly in my head. OMG, Nathan's intensity, I can just see it!

Great character voice for Dave and Vince, there's this feeling of great history that you've conveyed. Between each other and the town.

LOVE IT.

This was gorgeous. You did such a great job with the dialogue-it really sounded like the characters. :-)

Scarlotti, you are absolutely spoiling me with all of your stories! This one absolutely has my mind racing. If Nathan did go with Audrey...wow. Talk about hitting the reset button.

And what an interesting choice to have this told through the prism of Dave's experiences. He is a cynical character, particularly as compared to Vince, though I vacillate between whether he is a natural cynic or circumstances have conspired to make him so. Anyhow, to have the cynic be hopeful is a particularly powerful image.

And like Dave, I hope this will be catalyst that settles the cosmic score.

So this is a story about Dave Teagues and it is really good, but I wanted to use my review here just to voice an opinion I've had for a while now being a reader of your pieces and it is this... You hands down write the best Nathan out there. "Doesn't matter" whilst staring at Audrey; I can picture this scene all the way down to the lines on their faces. It just jumps out so vividly. Great work!

Oooh, I love the idea of Nathan going with Audrey. I never, ever thought of that. I was always thinking of how they'd (He, because it's going to be him) make her stay in Haven, but I never, not once, thought he might try to find a way to go with her when the Hunter comes. That's a really cool idea. It'd be even more awesome if it actually worked and 27 years later (if she (and him) do disappear during the Hunter, which i really hope they don't) for them to come back together and because they are together, they remember. Such a cool idea.
Your right, Dave is an interesting case study. He has so many different layers to him. I don't think of the Teagues as potential lovers for her pass self, but I would really like to know what exactly the connection between them is... Don't we all. As well as why Dave is so scared of Sarah.
Anyway, great, Great Story. I love the idea and how you presented it. Don't suppose you could write a sequel? That would be awesome!

I love this twist! I hope you continue! Need more Nathan and Audrey scenes! This season has been so lacking in them!

I bet they would end the season if not the series with a scene like that. Nice job!

OMG this is so beautiful and heartbreaking.

I hope to read more.
