Gahhhhhh... There aren't even words. Just incoherent vowel sounds. And my brain has decided to go crazy on me and simultaneously imagine a bunch of different futures for this - including Eric rushing in and saving him and comforting him, Godric saving himself and taking delicious revenge (on everyone), Pam being an unexpected white knight, and Godric spending various different amounts of time with Dr. Evil and then any and all of these things happening.

And a tiny twisted little part of me is imagine ALL the THINGS that are going to be done to Godric when he is actually helpless wow wow wow.

Thanks for sharing! The little snippet you shared a while back is so much more dark and disturbing and wonderful in context!

[septemberoses]

So ... you sobered up a little? And now you are thinking about alternate endings? Well, I am writing one... yeah, I know, I think about what the doctor is doing too. But I decided the squick factor was high enough that I'd stop right here.

[berthablue]

Yes I did! NYE was spent drinking strawberry daquiris and "pink piggy martinis" with my mom - leaving me unable to comprehend anything more than a few sentences long.

Can't WAIT to see more from this awesomely sick and wrong story!

[septemberoses]

Your night sounds more interesting than mine, for sure. And the next bit is less sick and wrong, because I'm going to show everyone a little love...

[blissy83]

But WHERE IS MY HAPPY ENDING?!!!! ;_; as I got closer to the end I kept thinking, there's only three or two more paragraphs, how is she going to write Eric saving him and fucking him in only two paragraphs?, there's no way this can end well(but I still had hope) ;_; and it's not fair!!!!!!

[blissy83]

I forgot to say I really liked this, in a masochist way *cough*Imayhavecried-that'ssomethingunusualIswear*cough*

[septemberoses]

eeee ... you and withoutcolor... okay, first off I will point out that I did warn, and it says, "There is no redemption." Second, wow, I made you cry? In a sick, strange way that makes me very proud. Finally, I laughed at "how is she going to write Eric saving him and fucking him in only two paragraphs?" Because you know that's what Eric would do ... okay, okay, hopefully you will feel better knowing I'm working on the next bit in this story, because I can't leave them like that, can I?

[septemberoses]

PS Notice the icon, which is yours and which I thought was perfect for this fic. I hope it's okay I used it.

[withoutcolor]

Okay totally just shirked other responsibilities to finish this.... Wow. The first two parts had me hoping like blissy for Eric to come in and save the day. The third part totally creeped me out and I couldn't finish the last few paragraphs because you managed to hit one of the few things that actually disturb me.

That being said this was very well written and despite the disturbing (for me anyways) ending, I am incredibly impressed. I'm glad you were finally able to post this.

[septemberoses]

This was The Dark Fic, and I had the ending in mind (and mostly written) before I wrote most of the middle parts. I'm pleased with this fic as it stands, it is what I was trying to write. I warned at the top that there would be no redemption. Having said that, I'll repeat what I said to blissy: you know how much I love these two. There's a next part I'm working on, which may prove more to your liking.

PS That end? Squicked gruochrua too. I TONED IT DOWN at one point and changed the rating to NC17, because I squicked myself.

[withoutcolor]

haha i read the warning but but i couldn't help myself with the hoping. apparently i need a happy ending...(no pun intended). however i am glad to find that something squicks me, i was beginning to worry.

i look forward to the next part :)

[septemberoses]

I don't mean to pry, and of course the entire ending was disgusting, but what part of it squicked you? Was it the quasi-medical porn, or the idea of the betrayal? The infantilization? (so many choices!) Or all of the above, and/or something else?

In a very different way, I am enjoying working on the next part.

[celebelai]

incoherent doesn't even begin to cover how amazed I am at this. The last few paragraphs are made of creepy twisted awesomeness, and I am so so glad you posted it. I,m imagining different scenarios too, like berthablue, and omgodric, I love the idea of this. and how godric is so tortured, and possibly liking/needing what the Evil! Dr is doing to him on one level, and needing Eric or Pam to be his white knight and save him on another level. And the fact that Eric couldn't bring himself to torture him is priceless. *loves*

[septemberoses]

Weeeellll.... the end is getting mixed reviews. :) I'm nasty, but you can usually depend on a happier ending. But this was The Dark Fic. There was no happy ending here. And it sounds like it worked for you. I am, however, working on a follow up to this fic.

I know, I know. There are details in here that mean a lot to me, including how Eric can't torture Godric.

[celebelai]

oooh yay follow up:D
You are made of awesome.
*glomp*

[eleni81]

I want Eric to find him and cut him into tiny little pieces and then throw the pieces to the dogs! I want Pam to help him and Godric to watch them!

This was very strong and very, very hard to read! I still feel my heart clenching after reading the doctors last words!

Are you planning a sequel? Are going to see a rescue?

[septemberoses]

As I said above, you know I can't leave them like this. :) Yes, I have a sequel partly written, although I am not going to give away the details just yet. But I think people will be pleased.
