You know you're a genius, right?

[airgiodslv]

You give me far too much credit. But thank you, that's very sweet!! :-)

I've gone back and read all of my favourite ones from this meme about 3 times each so far. You're by far one of the most talented and imaginative writers I've come across since I joined LJ and I'd sell my soul to have just a teeny-tiny bit of your brain to use as my own.

So, with that in mind, I don't think I give you enough credit. Not by far.

[airgiodslv]

Thank you. More than I can say. *huge hugs*

Aaaaaaaaaa!

I am VERY BUSY imagining that somehow this ends with a cure and OT3 and EVERYTHING WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

Great story!

[airgiodslv]

I would like to imagine that as well. Because you know that once Elijah gets sick he's going to start withdrawing, which will leave Billy and Dom wringing their hands over him and eventually finding comfort in each other, and once Elijah comes out of his shell he will be shocked and they will all have explaining to do and Dom and Billy will not want to give each other up but they're both still head-over-heels for Elijah, which clearly means a threesome relationship is in order while they struggle to survive and battle illness by being strong together.

I can totally see that. *g*

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!!!

[almostnever]

Yay! I practically got a sequel for that comment! :D

[msilverstar]

head-over-heels, yeah. This is a lovely one, little details that say so much...

“It’s too late,” Elijah said quietly, stopping Billy mid-stream of thought and yanking him to a shocked halt in the middle of the room.

And I'd love to see the rest someday.

oh God, it's terrible. And terrific, and, real. God. *clings*

[airgiodslv]

*hugs* I am sorry for the terrible realness, but am glad you found it at least somewhat terrific. You are a sweetheart, thank you. *more hugs*

This is where the dark sex magick comes in to save them all, right?

Honestly, ouch, this is touchy and gritty and brilliant. It puts me in mind of our wife's Recall, that same sort of haunting eerieness that makes the hairs on the back of my neck crawl and leaves these characters writhing in my mind for days. Brava!

[airgiodslv]

Totally. Dark sex magick all over the place, and threesome goodness that sees them through the hard times and that whole plague-and-death thing. I hadn't thought of Recall, but that is a lovely comparison, and I'm glad you think so. Thank you!

This is so brilliant, and touching. It gave me the shivers, and really made me feel for the characters. You are so good at creating a whole world, totally complete and real, with everything in it, in a relatively short time. This story just completely sucked me in. It's just so real, and amazingly written!

Thank you once more!!

[airgiodslv]

Wow, that's such an incredible series of compliments, I don't even know how to respond. Thank you. World-building is something I love but too-often jump over, and haven't been able to really indulge in for a long time. This meme is like a big playground for me. Thank you again, for the support and the responses and, just, everything. *hugs*

[samena]

You're most welcome. Thank you for giving me, and everyone else, such great stories to read. I'm really in awe. :)
