Yes, he would be. And that image just makes me all warm and happy.Hmmm. I suppose it would not fit anywhere in between, but I must admit that I've had this image of Mick bottle raising a newborn kitten, carrying it around in his pocket to feed it every hour. . .
I expect he would be a happier vampire if he could have a cat!
What a lovely compliment, Jenna! I'll consider it all inserted.jen wrote:Oh, Shadow
This was Gorgeous!
This is another one of those occasions where, if I were to highlight and quote every part I really liked I would just insert the entire fic, so consider it inserted.
Thanks so, so much.I'm so glad you've liked having all these other characters layered into it! I couldn't resist bringing Bonnie and Travis back, or introducing Tierney with Mick's Facebook page.jen wrote:This is so deliciously multilayered with characters from other episodes--Bonnie, Travis and even an introductory email from Tierney Taylor--and wonderful original characters like Esme, Elaine and Chloe, you lay the groundwork for what will happen in other episodes--like Mick's facebook page that Josef commented on in Click.
Mick's dream of Beth wrapped in a comforter with him in his freezer, sharing his space was a fabulous tidbit. I know that most folks have written off 'smell the past and glimpse the future' but that is exactly where my mind went.

I had not thought of that . . . Thanks so much francis, I'm glad you liked this one! I had a lot of fun having Bonnie work on that Facebook page, and Elaine getting to know her over that. And it was such a great opportunity to introduce Tierney. And I am glad that you liked having Mick and Beth meet in between; it was the only way I could really explain the change in mood between them from FTP to Click.francis wrote:I love this chapter. Poor Mick is so confused, he's "in between". I love that Bonnie visited, and Elaine bonded with her. So many symbols of what Mick lost, the cat fleeing him, the food going to waste, the bed uncomfortable now.
I really laughed when Bonnie made him the facebook page and it was the way Tierney found him. Such a great way to connect the dots.
And Beth - the kiss and their tentative words to make things all right. Swoon.
Wow, francis! What a compliment! Director's cut . . . I shouldn't say so, but I do love the sound of that . . . .francis wrote:Your story is such an awesome director's cut of the show.
Well, first of all to Alle...Shadow wrote:Hmmm. Alle asked about that too a while back. I still haven't really decided, though I've given it a lot of thought since she asked . . .wpgrace wrote:Only 2 more to go? Or will you do one for after 16 too? Too pushy? Too greedy?
(Am I right that you'd be in favor of a post-16 story, Grace?)

now you've made me not want to leave Sonata threads dangling if I can help it.
This transition on the show drove me crazy . . . it had to be dealt with!redwinter101 wrote:Every chapter in this series has some amazing and wonderful features, but I am so awed by how you've managed to negotiate such a difficult transition here.
I was just about crying for Mick while reading this.He’d given up everything for her, she knew what being human had meant to him . . . why had she thrown his immortality back at him that way? Why had she walked away from him? He could still feel her hand pulling free of his, her warm grip suddenly gone, leaving him holding nothing. Leaving him alone.
You did such a good job of describing his emotions, and everything he was going through. 
I wish that Travis had been able to trust and get along with vampire Mick. Travis's fear of Mick would have been another reminder for Mick that his days as a human were over. 
I'm so glad that Mick told Beth about his freezer. He needs to open up to her if their relationship is going to work. As Elaine said, “It matters the world to you, whether you’re vampire or human – but it doesn’t matter to her. All she sees is you. Whatever you are.”
Hopefully, Mick will listen.
That was a perfect way to introduce Tierney. Such a beautiful ending!No regrets. Vampire or not, I’m going to be part of this world. I’m going to take a step forward.
Into the light.
This decision will change all aspects of Mick's life, hopefully for the better. I really hope he continues to visit Rosemary. Like Beth, she accepts Mick for who, and what, he is.
I think so too. It seems like she would always turn to him and seek his help if Beth was in trouble.Marigold wrote: I think that Beth's mom also thought of Mick as Beth's guardian angel.
I had been wondering just where that Facebook page came from, when Josef mentioned it in Click!Marigold wrote:It is so cute that Bonnie and Elaine made Mick a Facebook page.
