LOVE it. This is great. I love her thought process here as she's seeing for the first time what really happened to him in prison. How she's realizing what he suffered and what he's had to deal with as a cop doing time. The imagery of the clothing as his armor is spot on. Stripping that away to make this last bullet wound better is a bit of a paradox. But it's perfect. Your descriptions are great and Reese's thought process fits her character to a T. Brilliantly done. One of my fave Life fics so far. :D

I realy liked this. Sux the show got axed. I loved watching Damien Lewis as a cop, yum!

Nice work.

I do love angst - sigh. Like other reviewers I don't think this feels finished. Do you have a few more chapters in you somewhere? Perhaps explore how Dani comes to terms with what has been done to her partner and how it colours her perception of Charlie Crews.

Be nice to see more,

Extremely well-done. You have the writer's gift for making me see exactly what you describe without being overly-literal.

Thanks for writing a Life fic. I adore this show and miss it terribly.

Liked this view into Dani's head, and also a great observation about Charlie, his shirts and his scars. Nicely done.

This is a really good story!

I liked the line "She had already failed him once. She wouldn't let it happen again."

That sounded a lot like Reese!

I hope you write more for Life! We need some good writers!

First off, thanks. For writing - and for writing about my fav show "Life".

Second I love the way you got inside Dani's head and captured her thoughts in this piece we never saw from the show, pretty dramatic moment and they kinda cheated us from seeing their connection - so thanks for writing that.

Third, love your style, descriptors and imagery. It paints a terrific word picture. I could see each of those scars on Charlie's body.

Lastly, you've got a great start here and there's a lot of time between the end of Trapdoor and the beginning of Re-Entry when Crews tells her "you can't be nowhere, because to be - you have to be somewhere" - are you sure you're done?

I'd love to see more of your writing & thing you should consider continuing this story. I'm just saying...
