Oh, this is lovely! I adore the ambiguity of the ending.

Thank you!

Not going to lie, the ending of this left me very very confused. (In a good way!) This was lovely and very different from what I thought of when I was working on the picture myself. I really liked the imagery. Thanks a lot. <333

Thank you so much for inviting fic on your gorgeous art! I figure if you left your art open ended, I should leave my fic a little open to interpretation! <3

Man, I really loved this.

I liked that Cobb was Persephone, that was a really great touch. And the grabby hands. This whole piece was pretty creepy and great. The fact that I'm still not sure if they're dreaming at the end makes it all the more effective.

Thank you -- I'm glad the ambiguity worked, and I also love Cobb as Persephone. <3

Thank you -- I tried to make the ending an uncomfortable mix of suspicion and uplifting. ((:

Oh wow. I am such a sucker for Greek Myth, and this is a fantastic version of Orpheus and Eurydice. I LOVE that Cobb is Persephone! And I love the ambiguous ending.

Oh, I'm glad that you think I interpreted it well! I love Persephone Cobb, too. Thanks!
