is it wrong that I want this to be the pilot episode of a new OUAT spin-off?

this was all gold and better. (and yes, seasickness can be,,,intensified when around others heaving out their cookies). from a justifiably sad Milah to taking control of her life...kudos to you!

poor Milah, having to give up one of the few happy memories of her old life. (but, one could argue, that was the point of making a new life)

>“But what is life, without death to give it meaning?” Milah asked, unnerved, leaning away from him.
>“Something new,” Victor said, unholy passion lighting his eyes.
:)

>“The future Mrs. Frankenstein will be very pleased with the results of last evening, I assure you,” Arista told them
one can only wonder what the other half of the trade was.

bravo!

I'm outing myself! Thank you so much for the lovely feedback-- I'm ever-so delighted you like your fic. Your prompts were absolutely amazing and I had a wonderful time writing it. I wanted Milah to get her groove back-- she deserved better than the faithless harlot card-- and to see Frankenstein before obsession consumed him. (Need more of him on the show!) Cheers!

Sweet merciful Once deities. This is perfection in fic form ( ... )

Thank you thank you thank you for this beautiful comment-- it really made my day/month/year/life. I'm so glad this found an audience outside the wonderful rodlox and that I'm not the only one who thinks Milah and Killian probably had an epic love story in between all the heartache and angst. For an infrequent (and painfully slow) writer, feedback like yours is absolutely invaluable and I return to it again and again. So... thank you! /big hugs
