Okay, so this is one of my favorite drabbles you've ever written. It is just perfect in every way possible - beautiful imagery, metaphors and words that can be unpacked infinitely, and even then, still offer only suggestions. I adore that Locke is in this, the allusions to death and Celes' possible desire for it. The magic meta here, which makes total sense... and just... everything. It's like a character study, within a particular point in the story, within the context of a emerging relationship that is pivotal to that story and character. It's just so perfectly wrapped around itself and so complex, I can't even find further words.

You always slay me, but you basically slayed me so hard with this one there is nothing left but a bunch of gobbledy-gook comment that I hope makes sense. Fantastic... beyond fantastic.

First of all, sorry for the late reply. Secondly, thank you, it's really great to hear that. I'm actually pretty satisfied with this one myself, in terms of getting everything I wanted into 100 words. Themes of death and the possible longing for it have always kind of resonated with me, especially in the context of certain characters, including Celes, since such a large part of her story involves the choice to keep on living. And magic meta is always a good thing... So yeah, thanks again - really glad this one worked!
