Oh, man! This is awesome! I really loved the AU and this is such a perfect piece to go with it. I love the language and the emotion and the imagery - just beautiful.

Thank you :) I'm so happy you like this - and Ghost Song!

Wow. Okay, so I read this, loved it, and had to go back and reread the other story. But I wanted to comment here as well, because this is a really incredible look at Victoria - dark, and tough, and gorgeous. I kind of adore her here, which is a thing not many fics can pull off for me. And the last line packs such a punch.

Yay! This makes me so happy :) The whole idea behind this poem was to give her a bit of vindication after the rough treatment I gave her in the Fraser-centric.

Thank you so much for commmenting!

[luzula]

Yay, you posted! And I still love this so much. I got tears in my eyes when I read the opening parts about Victoria.

[exeterlinden]

Oh wow, thank you so much! And thank you for your constructive and generous beta - I really appreciate it :)

[keerawa]

Oh, this is BRILLIANT. Victoria's very canonical rage shines through, and her lust to be free of all the things that would chain her down.

Could I record a podfic version?

[exeterlinden]

Hi! Thank you!

Sorry it took me so long to respond - this comment slipped past me, somehow. But I am thrilled that you liked it, and I would be absolutely thrilled (!) to hear this podficced, if you're still interested in doing it :)
