I loved both of these fics. I loved the dynamics between Dahlia and Cara. I liked that Dahlia broke Kahlan to spite Cara and now Cara is determined to break Kahlan herself. Powerplays! It would be good to see from Kahlan's POV as she struggles between the two.

I like the unapologetic tone for the nature of the Mord-Sith. Kudos for not going down the conventional route with this threesome. I like it!

[fanaticreader]

Thanks :) Powerplays are lots of fun to work with, though I normally like the more subtle variation to this very explicit torture fic lol

Im still deciding which POV I should focus from in the sequel... I might switch it up as I did here. Not sure.

Im glad you found this entertaining :D

HOMGOMGOMG. This was utterly amazing. The way you intricately and logically explained the touchy-feeliness that was Dahlia/Kahlan in the original work was incredibly apt. This:

“No.” The siren’s voice took on a sternness that made Kahlan flinch. “Mistress Dahlia.”

was fucking brilliant! Oh, the power of suggestion against a weakened state. And Dahlia's motivation behind breaking Kahlan herself is totes the Mord'sith way. Diabolical, that woman is (well, you are) diabolical.

I cannot get over how much thought you put into the breaking process and how it was achieved. Which makes me wonder, if you're set on writing a Cara rebreaks Kahlan sequel, would Cara be able to do it? As Dahlia admits here, she hasn't the talent to physically best Cara but her perspicacity is immense. I can't imagine Cara coming to the same realization as Dahlia. This is no slight at Cara; she is the fiercest warrior the show has to offer. My OTP is Cara/Leather. But I don't forsee her winning this chess match.

Heheheh I wondered if maybe my logic was inadequate (I've never read the books so I only know about Confessors from the two seasons), but I think I got it.

Yes I am diabolical. As I wrote this I kept thinking "Good Lord woman, just announce to the world how you would torture another human being if you had the stomach for it" lol O_o

You should never lose faith in Cara. If this is Dahlia's best, then I'm nervous about writing Cara's best lol And Dahlia really should know better than to play games with Cara.... There will be repercussions, I assure you ;)

Wow an amazing disturbing piece. Indifference, sleep deprivation then attention and care what a smart tactical move to concur a Confessor. Deep. And Dahlia is sooo in love with Cara, sooo hurt and angry and vengeful- delicious. Sometimes I don’t get how Cara made to the top of Mord-Sith’s hierarchy- she is very trustful, even kind of naive for a Mord-Sith and has no good skills in art of deceit. I guess she is just too awesome for that little tricks but it didn’t prevent her from the braid chopping and from getting enchanted Agiel treatment. Please, please, Mistress, keep writing this disturbing story! I want to know what will happen next, you mentioned some fluffy, I hope it’s not coming too soon- more pain and suffering only then you could break us all with fluffy!
Thank you for your good storytelling. A reader
P.S. I liked your disclaimer note that you do own Tasha- you do own her...hard ;)

Dahlia had so much potential. I cannot whine about this enough lol Her twisted love and devotion to Cara was so tasty. I think she should have been a recurring character just to mess with Cara's head.

As for Cara being too trustful... yeah on the show she doesnt seem very talented in deceit - but I blame that on the writers who seemed really bipolar and erratic. The show moved very quickly in the second season. To be fair, the first season was also very quick, but none of the characters had such a dark and twisted path like Cara which is why the speed of the show became really evident.

How can you beg me and then have the audacity to tell me what to do? I will beat you down with an Agiel or smother you with fluff in any sequence that pleases me :P Take care to know your place or I shall write you a Zed/Cara fluff piece for your insolence. And it shall be rated R.

*shudder* See how much it hurts me to hurt you?

I own Tasha for sure! You can borrow her sometime, we all need our Cara substitute ;)

Noooooooo! “agiels herself multiple times.” Please, Mistress, forgive me, I was out of my place! Anything, I’ll take any fluff from you but not that horror a C/blocker with Cara R rating! noooooooo…Give him anybody- Denna, Rikka, even Berdine but spare Cara, I am begging you, Mistress! Any fluff, anything…only spare her…Please, let Dahlia mess with Cara’s head or Kahlan hate her whatever you wish, but forget him for now, let him hide in the woods or swamps, whatever (I knew you keep him in your sleeve somewhere). “keeps agieling herself repeatedly.”
I like that “I blame that on the writers who seemed really bipolar and erratic.” It is so true. Everybody can invent own version of the character and it will fit.
Just write and I’ll be happy. Thank you. A reader

I suppose your self flagellation will suffice as punishment ;)

Good thing you didnt call my bluff because I dont know if I have it in me to write such blasphemy lol

Im stilling refining the sequel - so yes, the sequel will come before the fluff - I just want to make sure Cara is still someone you can love at the end of it lol

And bah dont thank me for writing. I thank you for reviewing! Writing is nothing without encouragement.

[fanaticreader]

Well Cara isnt at this particular temple.... and if she was, it probably wouldnt be any nicer :(

On the upside, when I finish this trilogy I will try my hand at fluff. To make up for the bitterness of this fic lol

[fanaticreader]

Firstly: LMFAO at your display pic. Love it.

And yes you get to see Cara retrain Kahlan lmao Poor Kahlan.
