also to comment more, i had so much fun writing esca. it was kind of cathartic, like. funneling all this nervous energy and hurt and rage and sensitivity into one character. i definitely had a harder time getting a feel for marcus, and that probably shows. i can't pin him down, even in the movie. like...is he mature or immature? confident or awkward? a hardcore badass or super gentle and kind? he's kind of both in every instance, and so i kind of just hand-waved him away and focused on making esca as fucked up and passionate as i could write him.

liathan was a hell of a good time to write as well, mostly cos i was just making him up entirely. good times.

I read this in one happy sitting, and just, wow. Esca's voice is a mothereffing joy to read.

Oh Jesus me. Came back to look over this again and to comment with something more coherent than rampant squeeing, but got stopped up reading it ALL OVER AGAIN

Oh, this was spectacular and wonderful. I loved your Marcus...so big, and sweet, and caring, and a little bit clueless. And fierce, mouthy little Esca was perfect. I blazed through all of the chapters, one after another, couldn't stop reading. Great setting, great characterizations (Placidus was a hoot, and Liathan, with his mohawk!). This fic made my day.

Thank you hon! I had so much fun writing the (ridiculous) characters, so it must have showed through. Yay!
