Did I read this during my econ class? Yes, yes I did...did it have anything to do with returns to scale? No, no it didn't. Was it worth it? Very much so.

Hiro, even in the flesh, is foreign: exotic colouring almost untouched by the warm Texas light. Black and white, a piano amid woodwind and strings.

Loved, loved this.

Oh, and:

invisible men rendered in translucent swirls of blue-black ink

You just had to throw that in there, didn't you? ;)...

Anyway, this was beautiful.

Tsk, reading in class ... *sighs*

Loved, loved this.

Thank you. I wondered if that was over the top!

Why, yes. Yes, I did ;)

Thank you so much - am really pleased you liked :)

Shows my utmost devotion to you...I thought you'd be pleased. But since you're not, I'll tell you that I'm answering this while waiting for class to start. At which point, I'll be at attention

Thank you. I wondered if that was over the top!

Top, shmop! It was lovely and descriptive.

Why, yes. Yes, I did ;)

You're very single-minded. Which I knew. So there's really no reason to comment on it, over all.

Thank you so much - am really pleased you liked :)

It was great! Especially since it's such an unusual and kind of out there pairing, but it came off as very real. And very, very sad.

*g* I much prefer my students pay attention, so it would be hypocritical of me not to feel that way on behalf of your professors.

it came off as very real. And very, very sad.

I know. *sniffle* I'm really glad you liked it and that it felt genuine - I had such a hard time with it for 3.5 weeks out of the 4 I had to write it!

Oh, this is lovely. God, Isaac's story is just unrelentingly tragic, isn't it? WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE?

indyhat October 18 2007, 05:23:13 UTC

Thank you! And yes ... I never cared much for Isaac but by the time I'd finished writing this I started thinking how sad it all was ...! ;-(

Thanks for reading :)

Barely touching, but unified for a moment in glossy browns and healthy pinks; mutual focus. The motel room in the background, dark apricot insignificance.

Fantastic image.

Wonderful piece to wake up to. :)

Thank you! Really pleased you liked. I spent ages not really writing this story and then totally rebooted it about three days before the deadline ;)

Thanks for reading!

Good God in heaven, you used comicky/artistic imagery so well I think I've developed a new kink. Mmmmm, baby. And, oh, Isaac--I hardly ever see him, but I think I'd like to; art is a strange thing and it's always, mm, 'interesting' isn't quite the right word for it. It's sort of a soul thing. Anyway. The colors in this are really extraordinarily beautiful, and the way Isaac sees Hiro is just perfect. And the last line--oh. Oh, Isaac. I wish you were still around, even if your arc did come to a natural end. *snf*

indyhat October 18 2007, 05:26:40 UTC

Wow, thank you! I'm kind of sorry it's a one-time gimmick, because it would get a little samey, you know? But I'm really pleased you liked it :)

And yes, it was really interesting relating to Isaac through his medium of choice. I cared much more about him after I'd finished with this!

Thanks for reading and I'm so pleased you liked (see, I promised you Isaac ... it was just a bit later coming than I meant, sorry).

Somewhere in all the "Ooooh, tons of shiny fic!" that was this exchange, I managed not to comment on...well, almost anything really. Which was really stupid of me. Because stuff like

Black and white, a piano amid woodwind and strings.

The corners of the canvas hurt his throat as he coughs it up

A silent choir of blank canvases in the background awaits inspiration.

needs "Gorgeous" stamped firmly across it in an appropriate shade. This is an amazing synesthetic landscape and I'm glad it got recognized.

Thank you! :) I had so much fun writing this when I finally figured out how to deal with the prompts.

And you deserve some serious praise for the phrase "synesthetic landscape", too :)
