<3 Awww. I really love how you show the change in their dynamic, the shift from the tentative, wary young man that Michael was to the bolder, aggressive hybrid. The rules have changed, and for the first time Selene finds herself having to compromise, inviting it even.

It's on YouTube, actually! I'm watching it now. :D (IT IS SO DELIGHTFULLY BAD.)

OKAY, NEVERMIND, MOST OF IT'S BEEN TAKEN DOWN BY COPYRIGHT LAW. (STILL AWESOMELY BAD EVEN IN SMALL SEGMENTS)

Changed it just a little after rereading it. Not too much. Thanks!

I had fun writing "nine years later" Michael. It's good knowing that he'll eventually be on even footing with her.

[darkfrog24]

That is actually my great hope for the canon.

I realized today that they actually were on closer to even footing in the first film. In the original UW, Selene was never shown as a leader. She was a follower, part of a team, could work independently, but it wasn't until UW that they established her as the sort of person who had the authority to exile someone.

Denim made a comeback? It really is the future!

Selene was anticipating seeing Michael again more than focusing on the fight?

Well that's one way to win an argument. Michael must have killed in debate club.

I like the idea that splitting up was something that they did frequently.

Self-beta'd after I got home from work, so there are some minor changes. Fixed my grammar and a few sentences I had issue with.

[darkfrog24]

I actually hadn't noticed any gram. errors.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

EXCUSE ME WHILE I DROWN IN A MIXTURE OF LUST AND FEEEEELINGS.

I just love how you write them, sweetie; you know them so well, and it really shows here. LOVE IT. LOVE YOU. LOVE THEM.

[last_archangel]

(I hope you read it JUST now, as I just beta'd it a little bit.)

THANK YOU.

"You know them so well." There's a good reason for that. I grabbed these two off the shelf years ago. NEVER GAVE THEM BACK. NEVER WILL.

Also, good lord, have you read the first chapter of my story Unknown Chapter? Lots of Selene/Michael-ness there... That particular fic is my literary baby, I've been working on it for years, and I'm doing some retrofitting to work in the new canon.

[darkfrog24]

I highly recommend UC.

[ndnickerson]

ooooh, love it. now i need to track down this anime!

man, i love them together so much.

[last_archangel]

Thank you for reading and reviewing.

The anime is....well, it's a little stupid. But Michael is AWESOME in it.

I really love how you write Terra, this is fantastic.

[last_archangel]

Thank you!

I've been reading Frente a Frente. When are you going to take pity on me and have Michael and Selene reunite?

[danally20]

Ja! The next chapter ends with them finding each other. Although I have to admit I really like the idea of them taking separate ways and finding each other after a couple of years when things with their respective kinds gets worked out. I'm just lazy and didn't want to make the story too long.
