Lovely. Chilling! I like the irony of the law students being served clerk. :)

Thank you. :-)

It's up! And it's as great and as chilling on re-reading as it was the first time. You write Mrs Lovett wonderfully and her dark, twisted imaginings and observations here feel very much in character!

[shyaway]

Thank you. *hug* Just what I was going for!

Thank you!

I've always kind of imagined this scene playing out in my head.

Their hypothetical execution? It is an interesting alternate ending...

Dark, and perfectly executed (haha). It's so very true to form for Mrs. Lovett; oddly beautiful, and a little heartbreaking.

Thank you very much!

Aw, is there anything more romantic than murder/suicide? ;)

I think you've really captured Mrs. Lovett!

[shyaway]

Not in Lovett-land, no. :-P Thank you!
