LJ idol week 22: the straw that stirs the drink (partnered with the lovely & very talented cemetaria)

Before Briar Rose was torn up by the roots, she attended every party, dancing with the other princesses and lighting up the hall. You know the sort: the girl that makes the rest of us invisible. You turn pale with fear at the thought that you might remain

I have so much love for this story. It's utterly brilliant and beautiful and wonderful, and makes me all "wow" :D You have been an absolutely wonderful partner (and so astoundingly patient with my general scatterbrained-ness), and I feel honoured to have worked with you. <3 <3 <3

You are too kind. *blush* And awesome. It was fantastic to work with you too!

This is so compelling - like a shattered mirror on the floor, trying to piece together what happened in the instant before it broke. So many of the old tales are so grim and bloody and we've sanitized them and Disneyfied them and this is a great reminder that their power is still underneath and in us.

This is high praise on an entry I'm still not completely confident about, so thank you very much.
