OUCH!

And I love the sorta parallels with Adelle and her screwed up Victor thing.

Haha, when I was discussing this during the beta read through with Sin, I think my exact line was: And basically, meanwhile Adelle is just like, oh girl, I've been there. (Basically, I love Adelle the very most.)

Thanks! :)

BLLLLOLLLU

I cannot even. I CANNOT EVEN. Meg, MEG. Are you kidding? IS THIS REAL LIFE? ARE YOU ACTUALLY THIS AWESOME? OH MY HECK, YOU ARE.

This broke my heart in all the right places with just the right amount of pain. GUH.

I'm also delusional and believe that Sheldon remembers her. Not her name but that he loves her; just like Tony always remembers Priya. Then again, I'm crazy cakes.

ETA: Sheldon did say "this mind does not forget." I had to justify my delusions.

Did I accidentally your brain? I DID. I'M SORRY.

(LOL, this is the decidedly happier of the two BBT/DH fics I have in my brain, so I apologize now for the second.)

No, I'm pretty sure we all want to believe that Sheldon remembers her. It's not just you.

I don't think I am actually the levels of awesome you seem to think about it, but I'll just (as Kris Allen macros would say) shut up and eat da flan.

I just woke up and I'm sitting here in bed with a bowl of cereal and I have tears in my eyes. Poor lonely Penny, and poor understanding DeWitt, and Sheldon as a doll...arghh. That ending was so sweet and yet SO SAD, I can't even handle it.

This is amazing and lovely and remarkable. Well done.

Oh my heck, thank you. Please do not cry into your cereal, it might throw the taste off, or something. IDEK.

I sort of took a cheap shot with the end, but. Sometimes I like the cheap shots :D

Thank you. (I am so bad at replying to feedback, but this. Yes.)

I'm sorry, can someone please help me find my heart. I lost it after reading this fic.

WHAT IS THIS. I DON'T EVEN... o_O

I actually finally got caught up on Dollhouse like 2 days ago so this is PERFECT TIMING FOR ME. (I went on a caffeine binge, watched 6 episodes and wrote 2 totally unrelated fics and failed to sleep that night entirely. I NEED HELP.)

AAAAAAANYWAY.

Do you realize how many bazillion stories could spin off in this verse? I mean, seriously... YOU. This was GREAT. I loved that you didn't go with the predicted roles. And I feel like you captured the complete sadness and beauty of the Doll-verse SO WELL. It makes me want to know how Sheldon ended up there and to see him pull an Echo or an Alpha and become aware. And when you leave your reader wanting more? That's pretty badass.

Don't look at me, I don't really know what this is anymore than you do. Promise.

How is your brain post-DH marathon? I can't even imagine.

Dollhouse is one of those verses I want to cross with everything. I know I have another thing planned, and allthingsholy has a crossover planned (AND, SPEAKING OF, I am going to pimp her really excellent DH fic "only this colder air between us" which is probably the best DH fic I have ever seen, ever.)

Anyway, thank you! The Doll-verse is probably already one of my all time favorites so I'm glad I did it justice :D

I kinda think I know how the actives feel sometimes. My head was like VIBRATING or something. IT WAS CRAZY. I'm not even sure I've processed it all STILL.

I think Dollhouse is a verse that sorta lends itself to ENDLESS crossover possibilities. Actually, for being pretty damn opposite shows, I think TBBT does too. And thanks for the rec, I will have to read that when I get home later. FOR SURE. Having been behind on my DH eps, I haven't read ANY fic in that verse for fear of being spoiled.

LOL, there's a perverse sort of pleasure a lot of us get in watching people catch up on S2, like, AHAHA, you don't even KNOW what you are about to SEE, oh my GOD. It's far too much fun.

Um, yes, if you haven't noticed, all I seem to be able to write right at the moment is TBBT crossovers. There is something about this show where I am just want to mash it up with everything. I think it's because we have so much room from the writers (and because, honestly, the characters translate to other fandoms more easily than I have ever seen before, I want AUs and crossovers with EVERYTHING).

There is not enough good DH fic out there that I am interested in, sadly. I like Adelle/Dominick well enough I suppose, but, eh. I'm hoping with the finale and the fear of being Jossed out of the way, there's a mini-explosion of fic in the next few weeks.
