Sheep Go to Heaven, Goats Go to Hell

            Meg snorted as she tinkered with the contraption she’d begun to construct in the side yard of the orphanage-the Princess had commissioned her to build a sedan chair-and wondered what exactly that well-dressed couple from London had wanted earlier.  Outside visitors, with the exception of the occasional terrified teenage girl who often

this is one of my absolute favourite fanfics you've written. its so... quaint, somehow. just the mental images of meg outside working like a good little nazi, diana asking meg what shes done to get called into hoffman's office, hoffman being genuinely pleased for meg that shes about to be adopted (more ginger for him, maybe), to meg weeping beside diana as diana tramples meg's glasses. i guess its because nothing huge happened, no one died, no one got raped, no one got beaten, it was just a very relaxing story. i even like hoffman's reaction to diana's destruction of a rare item, because even though olivia said the hoff could be scary when he was mad, i always found him rather passive. and pervvy. merely sighing and thinking to himself what ingrates they were seemed perfectly in character for him.

i can actually feel myself warming up to meg with every new fanfic you write.

As much as I love death and rape and physical beatings, sometimes you have to take a subtler route. Glad you liked this, even though I feel it's a bit weak and could be fleshed out better (especially the transition from Diana and Meg's convo to Hoffman coming in). I felt like The Hoff was pleased as punch cause this reflects well on the establishment and proves his worth as a headmaster, even though his idea of strict punishment is to call you a wretch and tell you to skee-daddle. As for Diana's accusations, they're multi-fold: on one hand she's jealous Meg might get rewarded; on another she's jealously possessive; and finally, a summons to Hoffman's office carries a much more sinister weight to her than to the others.

Yay! Meg needs all the love she can get. :3

Loooooove~ ♥ As kingofdecay pointed out, I got that qauint feeling, too. And I felt awful for Meg, not wanting to leave Diana; I could just see her, sobbing in the library, and it broke my heart. But love, all the same!

P.S: Of course I'm not mad! Not a bit! ♥
