Why this must be read:

Another of the stories that made the fandom sit up and pay attention first season, this is the flipside of the Sydney/Vaughn coin I mentioned in my last review. What if Syd's life never returned to normal? In this story, Sloane's still out there, and Sydney's hiding from him. Then one day her hiding place is taken away, and she's running.

This is written in a style that suits the show well: jumping back and forth in time, with paranthetical observations as Sydney's thoughs crash in on her. Very fast-paced, with lots to pay attention to.

There had been explosions, arguments, screams (blood). Sydney lost so much in her life. That one week after she returned from Moscow destroyed nearly everything she’d ever held dear. She was warned against staying in town, but ignored everything she was told. Ignored the fact that she could feel someone watching her every minute of every day. She thought she was fine - that she could survive anything that was thrown her way.

Until something convinced her it was run or die.


Next, we discover what other pairings were available to us first season. *grins* You might be surprised.

Dude, I love your icon. I'm all about the Weiss/Vaughn. Does your icon mean that perhaps we might get some Weiss/Vaughn reccy goodness soon? *hopes*
