 Cold Case fanfic, spoilers through episode 6.04, "Roller Girl."  Humor, drama, angst, and romance abound.

1. Standard Bitter Love Song #4 by oucellogal [Reviews - 4] starstarstarstarstar (3373 words)

2. You or Your Memory by oucellogal [Reviews - 0] (3176 words)

Thank you all for your encouragement on Chapter 1!!  I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it, and I hope you like this chapter, too!

A couple of notes for those of you not familiar with the show: Eddie Saccardo was Lilly's love interest for a short time at the beginning of season six, then disappeared on an undercover assignment.  (I've got my own interpretation of this event, but it's not canon-based).

Nick Vera and his girlfriend, Toni, broke up this season (mostly so the woman who plays Toni could get a gig on another show).  I love Vera and Toni, so she stays. All Vera-Toni relationship references are canonical. 

Kat has a daughter, Veronica, from a previous relationship.  This is important.  Also, the past relationships/mistakes Scotty mentions are all canon, much as I wish some of them weren't.

3. The Recognition Scene by oucellogal [Reviews - 0] (4221 words)

Thanks again to all who have reviewed, and I apologize for the delay.  My life is insane at the moment.

4. The Mess Inside by oucellogal [Reviews - 0] (3292 words)

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the show, Lilly and Scotty have a very close friendship/partnership that occasionally maybe sometimes smacks of something more if you look at it in a certain way.  In this story, though, they're definitely Just Friends.

The Vera/Toni argument and subsequent hilarity actually did happen on the show.

5. It Froze Me by oucellogal [Reviews - 0] (4576 words)

6. There Will Be No Divorce by oucellogal [Reviews - 0] (5004 words)

Scotty and Kat's daughter does indeed have a name, but that name is an Important Plot Point, and, as such, will be revealed in a later chapter.  Thanks for indulging me.

Real Life next week is going to be incredibly busy, so Chapter 7 may be delayed, but this chapter is sort of the end of Act I, if you will, so it's somewhat of a natural pausing point anyway.

7. How to Embrace a Swamp Creature by oucellogal [Reviews - 1] starstarstarstarstar (5116 words)

Sorry for the delay, folks.  My life has been even crazier than I thought it'd be the last few days!

8. Orange Ball of Hate by oucellogal [Reviews - 0] (5609 words)

So glad you're all still enjoying this story!!  Hang on, things are about to get a bit bumpy.

9. Orange Ball of Pain by oucellogal [Reviews - 2] starstarstarstarstar (5321 words)

My knowledge of all things medical consists of things I've gleaned from Grey's Anatomy and Wikipedia, as well as things I remember from my own pregnancy.  However, something like this never happened to me while I was pregnant, mostly because I wasn't dumb enough to try and move heavy furniture, so apologies if it's medically inaccurate. 

For those of you who may not be from the US of A, or who might not follow sports, "March Madness" is a college basketball tournament, most of which, conveniently enough, takes place in March.

10. Tell Me on a Sunday by oucellogal [Reviews - 0] (5104 words)

11. Orange Ball of Love by oucellogal [Reviews - 0] (4768 words)

Sorry for the delay, everybody.  My computer crashed this week and had to be replaced, but I'm now using my bright shiny new laptop, so all is well.

This chapter makes frequent reference to "Veronica's horse movie," which is, in fact, 2006's "Flicka," starring Tim McGraw and Maria Bello.  It also features Danny Pino (Scotty on Cold Case) in a small, but not unimportant (and quite droolworthy) role.  The scene Kat dreams about is taken almost directly from the movie, although, since the movie is for kids, it takes a far different path than her dream does.  (Kat's dream?  Probably not for kids).

12. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry by oucellogal [Reviews - 0] (4131 words)

I wrote the rough draft of this chapter before giving birth to my son.  Little did I know that all the research I did on back labor would come in handy!

13. Distant Stations by oucellogal [Reviews - 0] (4600 words)

14. This Magic Moment by oucellogal [Reviews - 0] (5489 words)

This chapter is dedicated with love to my son Caleb, born January 30, 2009.  I love you, Munchkin.
