A lovely, lovely fic! You had a great use of parallelisms!

[weekendsinner]

Thank you so much! :D

I adore this pairing and this was really, really lovely. I LOVED this juxtaposition:

(It’s funny. He fell in love with the Girl on Fire, and he sent her sister up in flames.)

(It’s funny. She fell in love with the Boy from the Ocean, and it is the water that soaks her again and again in her nightmares.)

GUH.

Thank you so much! :D This is uber flattering, especially coming from one of my very favorite Gale/Johanna writers. :D <3

[saucydiva]

Agreed! That moment really stuck out to me

wow... okay, I kinda stumbled here... and wow, how come I've never read this before?
Because omfg, SO good and powerful, it was. The parallels you drew between the and their past loves are just so painfully perfect, and the recurrent fire/water smell theme ... unf. the "they think they like it" totally got me. Amazing story.

Thank you so much! So glad to hear you enjoyed. Haha and yeah, I keep seeing these crazy parallels everywhere, man. Fandom is driving me mad (not that I mind :D).

This is really awesome! I ship Gale/Johanna (sometimes) and I love this. You've made this really compelling case for them as a couple, and why they'd work, and it's just really, really well done. Kudos!

Thank you! Haha, my crazy brain kept seeing all these parallels everywhere, and I just had to get it all out. I'm so glad to hear this worked for you! ♥
