Why this must be read:
Author's Summary: Sometimes it's enough to simply know that you are not alone with your problems.
It's amazing the subjects and themes that I find explored in ficcage, the power of emotion and subtlety of writing. Butterfly brings all of these to the table, a painfully moving subject, the theme and emotions of healing with friendship, and the quiet power of subtle phrases that pack a powerful punch.
Self cutting is a painful subject to explore, even for me who doesn't know anyone personally who does this. And yet, bringing light to a movement that is out there to help these individuals know they're not alone is an inspiring idea for a fic. And incorporating that movement so well into NCIS canon while keeping everyone in-character takes some serious characterization chops. I felt my heart clench at the pure love the reader can feel in this fic, the love of family, friendship, and the healing that can come of it. Even though the tears, I had a wobbly smile plastered across my face.

I still love it even after all this time and it's marked as my favorite. I'm so glat you asked me to beta this for you.

thank you for your kind words. Maybe I'm too harsh with me but I'm always surprised if someone says that my stories (fics and own stories) are good so I'm really happy to hear such things...

And thanks, I thought Cameron;s expression was so appropriate for this Friday. This week has been a rough one at work and I know I've said this phrase more than once throughout it. LOL
