Disclaimer: Not mine, but they are fun to play with. All respect to Rand Ravich, Far Shariat and especially to Damian Lewis, Sarah Shahi and the rest of the exceptional cast. They created something I will always treasure.

Author's Note: Sorry to have been so long with this part, but ... there was a lot for me to cover. There's one perspective left after this post. Thank you for taking this journey with me.

WARNING: This chapter contains introspection/memories about past rape and sexual abuse, as well as addiction.

Author's Note: Seven different perspectives, in seven parts, beginning immediately after the end of One (which I'm assuming was supposed to have taken place in April 2009) and continuing into the future over the course of the next year or so. This is a WIP, but the whole story is plotted, if not completed.

I come bearing a Fanmix.
It's all related. Meaning it's not only dani&charlie but every other little detail, and every character in the show may be represented by these songs.
Bear in mind: Everybody thinks & Interprets lyrics differently.



Love Is The End. )



 
 
NBC cancels Life.

It wasn't a perfect show, it never had the easiest time getting off the ground and they made some moves I was not happy with but it had heart and it gave us fantastic visuals, awesome music and characters we've all come to love.

It gave us Damian Lewis and introduced us to Sarah Shahi. It gave us a love of fruit and Zen-isms and the next round of Crews and Reese's amusing give and take. Best of all, Rand & Co., gave us the best finale they could give.



And this is the way I prefer to see Reese and Crews, standing next to each other with their squad car and disappearing into the sunset.

Thank you, Rand Ravich. Thank you, Far Shariat. Thank you, Daniel Sackheim. Thank you, Damian and Sarah.

You will all be missed.

Notes from the mods:

1) For fanfic, our policy is only to include stories on livejournal unless links to off-LJ fic have been posted in main Life-related LJ communities. If you want to read more, there is a small collection of Life fanfic over at fanfiction.net.
2) We will not be linking to comment-fic or drabbles under 300 words.
3) For WIPs, we'll hold off the linkage until the stories are finished.
4) Pairing short-hand for those unfamiliar with the custom: forward slash between the names (e.g. Crews/Reese) = romantic or sexual context, vs. Crews & Reese = non-romantic partnership story.

"Watch with Kristin" does this poll every year. After the winner is declared, she goes straight to the network programming heads of the winning network's show, shows them the results and inquires about where the series stands and what can be done to keep it alive. So this is probably the most useful of all the "save our show" polls on the web.

VOTE FOR LIFE HERE.

You could 'save a life'! Hardy har har. ;)

(P.S. Above text shamelessly stolen from a post on a TSCC community I follow. Sorry! I just love Life more.)
