Ah nice story and Jessica Isn’t it a bitch ore a hateful person.

Ugh. I'm sure this was a nicer read before evil RH!Jessica wormed her way between our dear Lyatt.

It did make me wonder about that hospital fight with Emma - did RH!Jessica already know Emma and fake what side she was on? What about the horrified look upon seeing half a breath of shmoopy Lyatt? Wouldn't she have known already from RH info that they were a thing?

Anyway. Not your fault the rest of the season soured my late reading of this :\

And this is how the Jessica triangle SHOULD have ended. I’m gonna pretend that this is canon.

oh! this is good! it's fsntastic

ooooh, really liked this a lot! I would love to see *this* show up on my tv screen!

Oh gosh, oh GOSH! How did I ever miss this in the feed? April 7th?! I am completely bowled over. This is absolutely perfect and so in character. My fear writing a 2x04 was handling the breakdown of a marriage with grace, maturity and honor and I think you hit every nail on the head. The inclusion of Garcia and Lucy’s drinking? Absolutely amazing scene for Jessica to besr witness to and develop an understanding of where Wyatt’s timeline veered off.

Everything was so understated. Gentle. Soft. Brash where it needed to be and I’m so sad I only found this a week after it was posted (makes a mental note to subscribe to you). The Lucy/Jess conversation was something I shied away from but you handled it with such a level head and in the most perfect of manners.

The choice of a Jess POV? Perfect. I think this definitely needed to come from a non-Wyatt focused place and really develop the women because at the end of the day, they’re the ones who lose something. It does them justice on so many levels.

Your writing, as always, is an inspiration. I look forward to any and all of your work & even if I can’t rave on social media I’ll make it known here. Sigh. I’m probably going to read it a few more times. P.s. fragmentation style? My. Kryptonite. I love segmented work like this because it flows so dreamily. It steers the little tug boat through stormy waters with such delicacy.

Thank you for your hard work! Until next time.

Iambeck.

This is everything I didn’t know I needed to resolve this mess. Telling it from Jess’ POV is so interesting. I think it’s inevitable that Jess will witness Wyatt’s reaction to Lucy. Especially if they are on a mission/in danger together. I look forward to seeing the reaction in the next episode.

Your additional “strikes” work so well, too, to show how connected Wyatt and Lucy have become. I hope Jess gets to see it all. Not to hurt her, to help them all move on.

I don’t want to dislike Jess. I would love to see JessLucy bond over the Wyatt Logan of it all. I am also hoping for a “you love Lucya la Rufus) moment. I love Wyatt, but sometimes he needs to be smacked with a 2x4...

Jess doesn't seem like a bad person. Maybe if she were the pill would be easier to swallow as Wyatt and Lucy distance themselves in order to accommodate to the new reality with the "dead wife come to life". I'm still excited for this season regardless of people's disappointment at the end of 02x03. I think, if anything, things are getting interesting. Rittenhouse messing with time to get in between Wyatt and Lucy was a dick move. They keep finding new ways to blow my mind. I'm getting sidetracked... I love your speculation and how you portray Jessica. We don't know much about her but the way you bring her to life is genuine. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful fic!

Oh my goodness! That was beautiful. I didn’t watch the episode last night because I had not yet found the time to read your story. I wanted to read it first. I’m hoping with all I’ve got that the show plays out similarly to your story. I like the Jess you wrote. I hope I like the one they write as well. And I certainly hope she and Wyatt make peace so they can both move on. What a beautiful resolutionuoi conjured up.

THIS IS AMAZING. My friend and I have been debating about Jessica literally everyday for the last 2 weeks and this is EVERYTHING we've been talking about. Jess seeing the connection Wyatt and Lucy have... UGH MY HEART. You've dealt with a very sensitive topic beautifully as I can see a lot of people kicking off about this without seeing the big picture, but I believe you've got this SPOT ON. Excellent!

This was me but I wasn't logged for some reason, so have it twice haha! whoops!

What I like the best about this fic, and there are so many things to like in it, is how you show, don't tell. How you use Jessica's POV to do it. There are so many insights through her observations and her comparing and contrasting. How we get a glimpse into past Wyatt and it comes across as so realistic. And I really like that you make Jessica a sympathetic, likeable character. If this is how things were to turn out on the show I'd be happy!
Also how could I not love this when you manage to include so much of Wyatt and Lucy and what Jessica sees. Like how Wyatt stands so close to Lucy without even realizing.
Yes, where do stories come from sometimes?! Hope you feel better soon!

It pains me to say it, but I actually liked your Jessica. See how skillfully you write, lol. Nice job of letting us see her side of things :))

Wow I love this

This was really beautiful! I really enjoyed reading this from Jess's POV actually. Thank you for writing this!

Okay...first of all, *loved* the three strikes/you're out analogy-that was just awesome. And, if this is what you give us when you're fighting a head cold...I'm here to say thank you, thank you, thank you for deciding to write, rather than just curl up under a blanket and get some extra sleep! Although I do hope you're feeling better soon! Loved the structure of everything-the first strike, Jessica is just observing, noticing...thinking about how things with Lucy are different than her own experience-how Lucy responds differently than she does. Then second strike, she sees how things are the same...and yet how Wyatt is different in his response to things she has experienced before...and then finally in strike three, she sees Lucy and Wyatt in all their glory *together*...and understands what that means. It's a really beautifully structured piece-and the structure just adds to the emotional punch of the thing. Thank you so much for making Jessica a real person...and making Lucy the strong and capable partner for Wyatt we know she is!

Also: "Didn't he already have PTSD before you...I mean when you guys were together?" Smooth save there Lucy! 'Cause things wouldn't have gotten awkward *at all* if you had said "before you died".

Thanks for this!
