Yes, again, pretty much what J.S. said. A very haunting fic. Like Kyria, though, I am more focused on Kowalski's sacrifice and the doomed little girl than anything. Kowalski, drifting, waiting, hoping...gawd that hurts. And Fraser KNOWING the girl child has to pay a price for her suicide is heartbreaking; helplessness IS heartbreaking, and this fic captures that in a soul-deep way.

Beautiful story arc; yes, I'd like to see more in this 'verse but if not, it stands magnificently on its own.
