Benny’s so far in the closet that he’s in fucking Narnia.

Bwahahaha! *dies* This is WONDERFUL! A DS/Narnia crossover, OMG, is just... *flails* It would never have ever occurred to me, but it's AWESOME. THANK YOU!!

I adore the crazy madcap feel -- bits that made me laugh out loud, like the Turkish delight, and Vecchio seeing Kowalski in the mirror -- all mixed up with the surreality and the woobie poignancy of them all, disjointed and disconnected and lonely. And then a F/K/V ending! *dances delightedly*

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! You rock! *beams wildly at you* Yay!

I am so very glad you enjoyed this, you have no idea the prospect of writing for you got me, and then, this little phrase turned up and turned everything upside-down, or was that right-way-up? Does it matter? I just heard a pissed Vecchio turn round and say "Benny's so far in the closet that he's in fucking Narnia" and wham! I had my hook, and it was just the terrifying matter of making what was on the screen match what was in my head, which it didn't thank god.

So, erm, thank you. I really wouldn't have thought of it without you around the place.

This is one gorgeous, intricate headtrip. I'm rather in love with it.

It was pretty fabulous to write too, thank you.

Oh wow. This is almost too much to get my head around...kind of like Narnia, really. I love your Vecchio voice--he seems very real, and I like that he's having trouble putting away the Bookman and remembering who he is. :)

It was very hard to get my head around too, I think it is the most complex thing I've written thus far, and I had a tough time keeping track of my transmutating plot twists and turns.

I have to say, I loved writing Ray, despite his incredibly pessimistic viewpoint, little seemed to phase him, ultimately at least, though that mirror threw him for six.
