Hey there! You already know how much I really love this story, so I'm just here to post my official compliment ~.^

And to add a little pressure to get the next chapter soon! XD

"A little pressure" she says. Don't worry, when I do update you'll be the first to know. ;)

Gah! Cliffie.
Seriously, please update soon! I've been lurking on this story since you started it, but kept forgetting my lj password XD
I absolutely love it. You write both Rachel's and Ivy's perspectives so well!

PS...I'm adding you as a friend because you're awesome like that.

[watch_yer_back]

Heh glad you finally remembered it then! Working on the update. It's also good to hear that I got the perspectives right because that was the difficult thing about this chapter.

Feel free. Adding you right back. =)

This story is getting better and better. That line from WWBC has always busied my mind, what did Ivy really mean?

Thanks for keeping those three true to their respective characters. I'm looking forward to read the rest. Just don't delay much please.

"Better and better" - you think so? *big grin* Thanks!

I think, and this is me just thinking out loud, that that was Ivy's way of saying that as much as she wants Rachel's love, she recognizes that it's not right that she constantly ends up being hurt by it. Maybe KH meant it another way, but to me it sounded like Ivy's love for Rachel was starting to be at odds with her self-respect ("I want love, but I can’t live with myself if I make you hurt me again").

[starbuckjr]

Gee! What if this Glenn thing is something like that and KH meant it that way? Whatver way KH choses to go, i want to see which way you go too. :) It's double anticipation. Triple if you count one other fic whose writer posted just below. ;)

[watch_yer_back]

I'm not sure "anticipation" is the right word to describe how I feel about KH's next book. Fear or dread might fit better. :P I know which fic/writer you mean, and the same goes for me!

Oh man!! I can't believe you left it there! Cliffhangers should be illegal! I really like the progression of Ivy and Rachel's relationship. My heart actually broke for Rachel (a first) when Jenks told her that Ivy was moving on. Are we gonna find out what Ivy's doing to move on?

This is a great story! I love all of the chapters!! Pwease pwease post more soon!

[watch_yer_back]

Honestly, I tried not to end it there but the next scene just didn't fit here. Yes, there'll be more about what Ivy's up to in the next update. Glad to hear that, and I'll post as soon as I can!

I've gotta say this is quite the story you've got there. Emotional without being sappy, each chapter flowing wonderfully into one another (and I'll say that was a b!tch of a cliffie at the end too). I'm very much looking forward to seeing who will be left standing (or cuddling, 'cuz you know Ivy can loose it THAT way too...) after this is over.

Oh, and that discussion between Jenks and Rachel about Ivy moving on? *Sound of heart breaking*

It just hit a cord, because as much as I love Ravy, I love the -vy part the most, and as much as I hope it won't come to this and they'll be together forever, well... *pumps shotgun* Ivy's unrequited love's gotta go if she is to be happy. So kudos for that.

Really good work. I'll definitely be waiting for an update.

[watch_yer_back]

Coming from you (or at least your story), I'd say that cliffie was pretty mild. ;)

With you on the loving the -vy part of Ravy the most. As much as I'd prefer to see Ravy happily together, the possibility of Ivy moving on after years of unrequited feelings is a bow to real life and those lines I've been quoting from WWBC. Ivy is a smart, beautiful woman who's been trying to put her life and herself back together after Piscary messed with her for so long. In her eyes, being able to love Rachel was a step forward. But when nothing happens and she's constantly rebuffed, how long does she stay on that step?

Good to hear that! Hopefully the wait won't be too long.

[sav8801]

What ever could you mean? Are you implying that my dramatic division of chapters is evil? ;)

Yeah, she definitely should move on. My heart's breaking at the thought, but I think we all know Ivy's never getting the girl.

I just finished the damn new book and I'm already looking for fanfic to soothe the emptiness it left. *drama queen sigh*

Seriously, though? It's brutal, and not in a good way. It's dull, predictable, irritating, and most of all, Ivy's criminally undersused in it. That's my fair warning to you. I hope you'll like it better than I did. Witch anatomy officially scares the crap out of me.

[watch_yer_back]

Oh damn, I knew KH was going to mess it up. As disappointing as WWBC was, I could find a glimmer of Ravy hope in it. But I also got the sense that KH was setting some things up that were not going to make Ivy/Rachel fans happy. Thanks for the warning! I'm staying in happy ignorance at least till I finish this fic. Though now I'm curious about witch anatomy.

Imply, who me? Let's put it this way - my update ended with Ivy losing it. And your last chapter ended with Ivy how? That was a lot more than "dramatic division of chapters"! ;)

No wait, let's not give up yet! Logically, moving on would be healthier. But Rachel is more than a girl Ivy likes, she's also part of Ivy's reason to be her own person/vamp. Or maybe I'm just not ready to concede that yet. :P Maybe when KH gets to the 10th book and the contract isn't extended, things will finally get somewhere.
