Title: Break a Promise, Make a Vow
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: Up to I Do
Notes: Stand-alone, written for Challenge #57: Seven Deadly Sins at lostfichallenge. The sin featured is wrath. A very different way I Do could have gone. This is actually a story I've wanted to write for some time, but it took this particular challenge to motivate me to get it out of my head ( Read more... )

So stunned by this that commenting isn't working like it should. I'm broken to the very core, and that's what great storytelling is all about. I marked you the other day as an up-and-coming Skate writer of the highest rank...just goes to show how right I can be. Congratulations!

Wow...thank you! I'm so glad you liked it; I wasn't so sure about this one. Thanks for the flattery :)

Got nothing to do with flattery - I just call 'em like I read 'em. ;)

BTW, think it would be possible for you to link the parts of your Walking After Midnight series together, so readers can go from one part directly to the next without having to flip back and forth from the master list of all 10 parts? (Just in case I someone wanted to nominate them in a category at lost_fic_awards for something...sometime, you know.)

:)

Hehe, thanks! I could certainly do that.

So painful, but very nicely done as...if I cringe and grab a box of tissues first...I can definitely see the tragic alternate version of this story playing out this way. My heart was in my throat as I read, and I felt every sensation with Kate---you made it all very real so that it transcended the words and I almost have to remind myself that it actually ends where he escapes death and Kate escapes a life without him.

I enjoy your very 'in the room with me' writing very much!

Since I am pretty much speechless, and I share a brain with candylandgal here, anyway, I am just going to say, 'what she said.' Thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much :)

aboutbunnies October 7 2007, 23:47:40 UTC

Thank you - that's so nice to hear. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Incredibly well done. You put me right back in that moment, stomach roiling, the rest of me feeling both all knotted up and at loose ends simultaneously ... and then you upped the ante.

Maybe Sawyer had been more of a romantic than she'd thought.
and
with a sick churning in her stomach, she realizes she'll never be Freckles again
sent me diving for the box of tissues. Amazing work - bravo!

Thank you :) I'm glad it worked for you.

You're a bad person. Just saying.

aboutbunnies October 7 2007, 23:48:24 UTC

But I'm really not.

the_dibbler October 7 2007, 23:52:36 UTC

No, you're not.

aboutbunnies October 8 2007, 01:23:56 UTC

Aww.

Aww, sorry for the killing and the crying ;)

Thanks so much. I'm glad this worked.

And yeah, I love that scene in I Do. No matter how many times I see it, I'm always so torn apart over how he keeps insisting she not watch him be killed. That, to me, is his "I love you" moment, much more so even than the actual ILY he says.
