Brilliant.

As mentioned above:
and he glared at you much as his female counterpart had done
I especially like this, because it really gives the feeling that they're accomplices, both playing the same game, and that's it's all so planned-out. Spooky. :P

“I don’t know your name,” you said to quell your shapeless unease.
Yet another amazing description. Great feeling of not knowing why you're uneasy, but still knowing you are. :)

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! it really gives the feeling that they're accomplices, both playing the same game, and that's it's all so planned-out - excellent, that was what I was going for. :-)

Oh, lovely! I haven't read ST fic in some time and this is a great way to start again! :)

I loved the writing style... to me it could've been a story from the 19th century, it flowed really well, the sentence structure, that great POV.

I also loved the atmosphere you created; that sense of unease and danger is always there. And so many beautiful lines! The "dark establishment" one is probably my favourite, but I don't really want to choose.^^

Thank you so much! :-D I wanted the style to feel 19th century, hopefully without being distracting.

Really creepy and beautifully written :-) You always manage to create such atmospheric scenes and this is no exception. And I rarely like second person fic, but here it works perfectly!

I owe you mail, I will get to it as soon as I can.

Thank you again, and don't worry. :-)

It's taken me a while to say so, but thank you very much - reviews like this make me feel I've succeeded in what I was trying to do. Thank you!

Late late late, cleaning out my inbox...

Thank you for the feedback! It's so nice to hear from another Lucy fan. :-) I like her, too, so I usually have her making a cameo appearance. I'm sorry if some of the stylistic choices didn't work for you - I was going for a very Victorian feel, and the preponderance of commas was part of that. I love to hear what people particularly liked, so thanks for quoting your favourite lines!
