Arlad 's Fic
I've always been a fan of Arlad's, it happened when a fic she wrote a year (?) ago turned me into an emotional mush. It was one of those fics that made me think and feel too much long after I've finished reading it. I guess it can be said that it changed me. I wouldn't go too far as saying it was life-changing, but it was definitely a catalyst to something life-changing. You see, it made me believe in love again.
I thought that event was just a one-off, a lucky draw, but it happened again. Now, she made me SEE that love is not just an emotion but also a force of nature. It can be destructive, awful and frightening. It will be cruel and selfish and unreasonable. But it will always make sense. And you would want to be under its power again and again and again.
