This Is Love, This Is Life

Anybody Out There? (Sixx/Lee)

Nikki's phone calls home to Tommy

Set between Saturday Nights chapters 3 and 6 and Into The Echo chapters 10 and 8

We're both excited to see how this chapter is received. It's a bit experimental and was inspired by the way one gorgeous writer on AO3 (@QueenOfNewOrleans22) has done one of her stories. 

If you have an account over there, please go check out her stories, they're magnificent. She's only of tender age but her writing is profound and mature. 

Anyway, I hope this one works. Please ask any questions, should you get lost/confused. Enjoy...and love to you all❤️
