Wow, this really packed a punch. Great fic - this seems so IC and tells us about that underlying anger at himself he must have, as well as his need to be 'great'

[afiawri]

Thank you! I really struggled with this one and I'm really happy to see this nice review. <3

[elrhiarhodan]

This one actually hurt...like a pinch or a swift punch in the gut. Brava, my dear. Your talent always astounds me.

[afiawri]

Why, thank you. What a lovely review to recieve.

[elrhiarhodan]

You are most very welcome, and most completely deserved.

This is really interesting--I know I always see Neal as some kind of wunderkind, at least work-wise, but it's sort of a new look to think that he really ... isn't, or at least, he doesn't think he is, which is more to the point.

[afiawri]

Thank you! That's exactly it.

Brilliant--I feel like I've been punched in the gut, because Neal's self doubts ring so true. (We know he's a genius in many ways, but he may not be when it comes to original art. Or maybe his fear that he isn't is just his personal demon.) Thank you!

[afiawri]

And thank you! Both for this review and the rec; it really excited me to see it. I'm so glad this resonated with you so.

This is just beautiful and sad :))

[afiawri]

Aw, thanks. I'm glad to hear you think so.
