Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #10- "You Found Me"- Now Up!
Great job on the stories everyone, and thank you for taking time out of your busy lives to write some good Nick fiction. :thumbsup:
Secrets at the Workplace Poor Nick is always left in the dark, if I were him, I'd be getting a little ticked off by this. I liked the interaction between Nick and Catherine, very true to their characters. Sweet how Nick kisses Catherine's forehead before leaving the hospital.
One of my favorite parts was Greg telling Nick: “Dude why don't you just ask her out already?” I know there's a few of us who would love to see him do just that.
I was glad to see you didn't kill off Vartann because Catherine's lost enough men in her life. I was a little worried when Catherine walked into the interrogation room, thankfully cooler heads were there.
Nice story, I enjoyed it.
Searching Ah, a Nick and Sage story, or a post-Grave Danger story. It would've been nice if tptb added this to their storyline. I enjoyed the way you wrote the two characters, very believable. Excellent work on setting the scene; as the reader, I could visualize the exchange.
I liked the idea that Sage already knew why Nick was there, and how she explained the way she can feel people's energy. Not necessarily psychic, but she does have a sixth sense.
The part with Nick questioning God's actions was very believable. I'm sure many of us have done exactly that, I know I have. Sage's response is perfect. “That's why God put you through it. That's why you survived it. So you could save her. So you would save her. You're the only one who still has reason to believe she's alive.” That is the best explanation.
The ending tore at my heart strings, very sweet. Good job, good read.
Lost and Found Your story had me angst ridden in the beginning. As with the previous story, excellent work setting the scene. The confusion, hallucinations, and nightmares would definitely be a factor after such a trying ordeal. I wish the shows writer's had included an after the incident glimpse. Maybe someday we'll get the full directors cut.
I, like others, was surprised it was Sara sitting by his bedside, but it makes sense. And, dang that would have been a fantastic tie-in to Sara's abduction a few years later.
Nick being worried about his mother, father and especially Lindsey knowing was an interesting addition. I definitely could see that being the case. Having Sara in the room to explain everything that happened was excellent writing. The last two sentences were a nice way of closing the story. Well done.
You Found Me I was a little confused in the beginning of the story, but then it fell into place. It seems Carrie and Nick had a troubled relationship in the past. I'd like to read an expanded version of this story, read more about their days in TX, and what caused their estrangment. Good job, keep writing.
The Natural Order of Things When I began reading this story I thought it was going to be a comedy about texting and driving, and Ecklie becoming the first offender...I was way off the mark. Ok, you made me cry.
Catherine's concern in the beginning of the story was very real and believable. Nick's pain and anguish is right on the mark. I can only assume the writer has either experienced the same situation with a loved one, or was very close to someone who experienced such a tragedy.
This story hit me so very personally. My mother suffered a severe stroke several years ago, and passed away shortly after. What you described was like walking back into the past. The tissue in the sleeve had me smiling and crying at the same time because my mom always had a tissue in her sleeve. Nick anger, was my anger. I said almost the same exact words to God...”Don't you dare make her suffer.”
You wrote a beautiful ending to the story. The roller coaster of emtions were real and intense. Thank you for the care and handling of such a difficult subject. Excellent writing!
Never to Late This story had me guessing in the beginning. Was it Nick talking, an old girlfriend, who? I didn't expect it to be a car. Unique approach, boys and their toys I suppose. I think Nick needs to get out more, he's bonding with his old car a little too much...Ha, Ha. Interesting take.
Again, good job everyone, and thank you Smokey for all your hard work.
