Ooohhh, way to twist my heart and put it through the blender!! Ya know Pepa's my favorite character and putting her and her beloved pelirroja through so much is breaking my fangirl heart as well! [Hear that tinkle? I think that was it, shattering into pieces!] Love the detail of Pepa's last thoughts being for Silvia - yes, it's the only thing that will get her through this ordeal.

Please say that Pepa will eventually be okay, and be reunited with her wife, who is about to open a seriously huge can of whup ass!

*fidgets and hands you a slice of mud cake* Uh...truce? *nervous laugh*

Silvia's my favorite but I do adore Pepa as well. I just thought it would be an interesting twist for Silvia to go charging in, guns blazing and having to save Pepa.*chuckles* I promise a happy ending. Or happy-ish. Thanks for reading and commenting. :-)

Lol, a truce is called! [Holds up truce flag] Otherwise, we'd have cookies and mud cake flying around and that could get messy! Or really yummy!

Oh yeah, I love the twist with Silvia barging in. I always love it in the show when she gets the chance to do that!

Hey, if there's a happy ending, it's all gooood! Thanks hon! :D

P.S. I'm almost ready to update on my end, but there's no cliffhanger - I guess. Depends on how you look at it - hee!

[raven_bard]

*tosses a cookie up and down* Depends on how I look at it? Hmm...well ok. I'll decide when I read it and if it's anywhere near cliffhanger-y this cookie's gonna be tossed! *chuckles* Or we could just play the "toss cookies and mud cake in the air and see who can catch it in their mouths." Lol.

AHH I need more right now. This is officially an addiction, and I should probably seek counselling. It is wonderfully written, and you're really very talented, but you should know I consider you my dealer.

*hands you a slice of mud cake* This will have to do for now...lol. The next chapter won't be until tomorrow or Sat.

Thanks for reading and leaving a comment. Greatly appreciated. *grin*

Shear? EEEK! Silvia better be on the rampage and finding Pepa damn soon. Right? Yes, yes...
I don't want a barely recovered Silvia and a shredded Pepa - they've been through so much already. *plunks herself down for a sniffle*

And c'mon, The King and I is a classic - I've seen it about 10x and will always love the original - Yul Brynner is amazing as the King! I think I even have a copy of the book lying around somewhere.

I knew that lil note at the back of the photograph was gonna send y'all crazy. I just knew. *shakes head* Just hold on for a while k? There will be light at the end of this angst-ridden tunnel. *pats you on the back gently and hands you a slice of mud cake*

As for The King and I..*smacks head onto the desk* I'd rather hold a gun to my head than watch THAT again. It's so inaccurate! The Siam people did NOT use chopsticks, why are there Arabic and Greek designs all over the palace and this whole Western construct of "orientalism" is completely misleading. Consequently all these inaccuracies are just the ingredients I need for my assignment...and I plan to note down every inaccurate detail. *firm nod*

[sportysmurf]

*munches cake and wipes nose* I can be patient. I can. I can. *mantra*

Erm. 1952. Says it all. I don't know much about Thailand/Siam so I still love the movie. You can also find (in the same era) the oft-used 'Asian' played by some not-well-made-up Caucasian person. Seems like I only nitpick on things like sci-fi action (the whole engineering thing).

[raven_bard]

*sighs* Yeah I know, but it's sending out such a wrong message about Asia. They thought Asia was just one big culture and having some Asian background it's irritating to spot all these mistakes!

And yes..you CAN be patient. Just keep repeating it a hundred times or so...cuz urm...I kinda hit another writer's block. *ducks and hides*

I've been meaning to read this for awhile and was so busy, and now I just sat down and read all 15 parts at once. I'm loving the angst, angst, angst and I like the plot, the way they reacted to the events of 104, the inclusion of DL. Looking forward to more!

[raven_bard]

Another one who read this whole story in one go...daaamn! *hands you a slice of mud cake* You must be exhausted...lo siento! But I'm delighted you're enjoying the story and yay! for being an angst fan. *grins* More to come soon. Thanks for reading and leaving a comment.

ok you are such an amazing writer, this is fantastic. I love it and gosh the suspense you're killing me albeit in a good way. I can't wait for the next chapter, so please, hurry!

You even have me over the anger/pain about the angsty chapters in the beginning, I'm just loving you for writing a hell of a story, thanks for sharing!

[raven_bard]

*shy smile* Really? Thanks for saying I'm a good writer. And suspense can be good, no?

Next chapter in a few days...just hold on. Thanks for reading and commenting, I'm so glad you like this story. :-)
