Oh! I loved it, very well written.

OOOOhh!!! OOOOW! You fulfilled one of my grandest wishes: to find out the reactions after they sacrificed themselves in DAAE. And DAMN, did you kill it!! OUCH. I'm so depressed :'( But really, you hit all the right notes to make the pain seem overwhelming.

The skies revealed it all, ... but she was wrong.

I abbreviated for length, but this entire paragraph was just fucking perfect...great use of language there.

Oh, now I feel bad because Jadeite's going to be extra lost with her gone; it was a nice touch that she couldn't find peace because of the pain she caused him. I know it might be wishful thinking but I would LOVE to see a "what happened after" to DAAE. Even if it's just the whole world going to shit, because you would describe it in a way that would just freaking kill. Great job, AGAIN. You're killing it this month, I tell you! Killing it!!

psst more smut too

I was actually planning on writing something super angsty from the shitennou's perspectives (i.e. Kunzite and Jadeite), but I needed to kill off a prompt. So maybe the next installment will be Kunzite and Jade's story, and this will will just foreshadow it or something.

Hmmm ... a what happened after? You mean after everyone wallows in their misery?? ^^;

And, smut from you!! I can't believe it hasn't come up yet. Damn interruptions that prevent Raye/Jason quality time.

YES!! Aren't they in charge of protecting Serenity now? Do they accomplish a successful overthrow? While being all heartbroken? Do they run their own suicide mission? Is there going to be introspective memorial time?

I KNOW I'M SO LACKING. On deck is one angst-fest, one uh, heh, smut, and possibly one other smut but first I have to finish my fanswap assignment!! (crying)

Because YOU are so damn awesome, I'll see what I can do. :)

It's crunch time ... race to the finish! I'm sure your fanswap entry will be fantastic! And will definitely have to go make my way over and read it once reveals go up.

WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! Ditto on everything V said. especially the smut part!!!!

arabianred June 12 2009, 17:06:43 UTC

LOL ... I'm trying! It's giving me trouble, though. *scowls*

Hopefully I'll be able to churn something out before the end of the month.

I adored this. Flat out adored. The imagery is beautiful and I felt their PAIN. Marvelous.

On the other hand, I am now very shamefaced for I had not read you DAAE series, and after this I nipped over and did.

...Holy fuck. How can you be so fantastic? With the grisly murders that were so visceral and the tragic heartbreak and the SEX...I'm at a loss. I loved every second of it and while I'm sure I'll have nightmares I still want more. Backstory, please! And more sequels and interludes!

Awwww, I'm so glad you liked this, and that you liked it enough to go back and read DAAE. And then, I'm thrilled that you liked DAAE. :D

DAAE is actually a spin-off of an epic that's currently in the works, so you should be seeing LOTS more of it.

Thank you for the awesome review!! It totally made my day!!
