That's how I see him. Vulnerable - human - yet confident and determined. Thank you! :)

Yay! After all the complaining we've been doing about how nobody knows how to write Apollo, I was a little nervous that I couldn't either. Thank you for allaying my fears!

Any time :) - just keep writing! *craves fic*

[mechanicaljewel]

I'll try! (If I could just organize my time properly...)

This is wonderful work. It fits perfectly into the tone and themes of Revolution. Apollo is nicely characterised but what really jumps out at me is Jenny.

Very nice touch - Apollo fails to recognise the implication of her statement that "things are going wrong" in the Carrier in exactly the same way that Midnighter failed to listen to her before he left. Poor kid, the wisdom of twenty-odd thousand years of past Jennys, all locked up in a four-year-old head, screaming warnings that no one listens to.

This is a wonderful read, but it also enriches the continuity. Well done!

::blushes furiously:: Thank you! And yeah, I wanted to get into Jenny's head as much as I could with this.

Now if only writers other than Ellis and Brubaker could figure out delving into your characters' psyches is actually a good place to start when constructing a story...

Thank you! I'm never sure about getting short fics right, glad it works.
