I was very excited to see that you had posted something. :D And it definitely did not disappoint. Awesome, as usual!

Thanks! I finally got back to this series, so hopefully there will be more soon!

This is great-- I've been looking forward to more in this series you're working on. It almost seems like a different style to me from your norm-- like a bunch of beautiful little vignettes tied together. I really like it!

Thank you! I wrote maybe one story slightly similar to this format a long, long while ago. (Silkworm.) And I like how this turned out. It's an easy way to string together a short story that encompasses a rather large time span.

Ah, this is powerful and such an enjoyable read. Your fics always have this way of fitting perfectly. I mean, that ending is just pure brilliance.

Thanks so much, DevDev. I pondered the ending of this for a while, and I guess it happened to work well!

First of all, the title: I love it! So brutal, so harsh, so very much Brad-and-Ashleigh-slamming-each-other-into-the-tack-room-walls-in-the-heat-of-the-moment! ;)

Love that the rest of the story really played up the brutal emotional honesty between them, not masking their dislike, but also not completely disregarding the chance of more. It’s just such a perfect display of all the violent thoughts and emotions that they’re always experiencing just under the surface, but yet, very rarely, actually relate to each other out loud.

Beautiful writing all around! The rhythm of the story and the mood are perfectly set. The ending gave me shivers, Extraordinary…!

I was also wondering, whom (who?) do you visualize as Brad and Ashleigh (if you do so at all, that is)?

Sorry for the double post, but I just realized I never added this journal as a friend! Add me back? I'm dying to re-read The Far Side. ;)

You are friended! Read at your leisure. :)

Thanks! ;)
