Disclaimers:
1. I am impatient, so I posted this before running the final draft past the eagle eyes of buffyx, so hyphen and comma overuse in this chapter, as well as any minor or glaring continuity errors, are the fault of me.
2. But the plot was (as always) a 50/50 collaboration with buffyx, so she is AT LEAST equally to blame for the whole fiasco.
3. Even if I narratively fleshed out the bulk of that scene, and probably did take more joy in it than she did.
4. SPOILER ALERT?
5. Ripley's Believe It Or Not: The outline and some of the chapter itself has been written and on our hard drives since the middle of last summer!
6. Yes, we are mean.
7. Cliches are intentional, in case you'd forgotten.

And now, without further (further, further, further...) ado.

Tom Cruise Must Die. CHAPTER TEN (of ten)

( SPOILER ALERT: THE STORY ENDS )

( Epilogue )

Chapter Ten of Tom Cruise Must Die coming...EVENTUALLY?

ETA: Sneak Peek!

Kristen wakes up swaddled in fading quilts, sweating. Alone. Sometime while she's been unconscious, the weather's shifted. Not much, but enough. The air seeping through the chinks in the wood plank wall next to the bed where she's been laid is still cold, but not in the frigid, biting way that it had been. That morning? The day before?

Her first thought is: how long have I been out?

Her second thought is: oh god, the baby.

Her third thought is: Jason.

She has to see Jason.

Hey guys! missdeviant and I just wanted you to know, we TOTALLY have not abandoned this story, we've just been too insanely busy to write/post it in a timely manner. It's all planned out, chunks of it are even written, it's just about filling in the holes.

We've decided the best course of action is to finish the rest of TCMD and post it consecutively, rather than waiting so long between parts. Hopefully we'll be able to wrap it up sooner rather than later!

We want you all to know we appreciate how awesome the feedback has been to this. Seriously.
