OH MAN, words cannot express how much I enjoyed this! I was actually sort of pained as I super-reluctantly scrolled down at the very end, just because I really didn't want it to be over! Just -- such a great, great read. You wrote all of the characters so well (I found the scene with Doc Saunders especially fantastic, and you make Topher so Tophery and funny and amoral and delightful, and BOYD, and just EVERYBODY), and the concept was fascinating, and I loved getting to picture all of the different dolls as Laurence (especially Sierra, just because I think Dichen would rock it; she can do no wrong in my eyes). And you portrayed his inner state and his torment so well, and him and Adelle were so great that it kind of just makes me want to go "aldjfadljfal;dkjdalkjfadl;kajsl!" forever because my brain cannot put actual words together to express how much they were FANTASTIC and I LOVED THEM.

Basically: this is the best, I enjoyed it so so so much, thank you for writing it!!

... it would be wildly and wickedly greedy to hope for another sequel, huh?

Wow, thank you so much! I'm pleased that enjoyed reading it so much and that you liked how I did the characters (epspecially Saunders, since I wasn't sure I could do her justice - she's so...hard to pinpoint), and that the shippy parts lived up to your expectations ^_^

Dude, if there's any doll I would love to see something like this happen with on the show, it's her. I don't know why, but for some reason I seem to have decided the image of Sierra wandering around acting all gruff and snarky would be the most hi-larious and awesome.

As much as I would love to, I don't think I'll be writing any more for this particular storyline. I'm quite happy with where it ends, and I think I did pretty much everything with it that I could and wanted to.

Okay, I just reread this (GOD IT IS SO AWESOME, OH THE LOVE), and I just need to point out your reply to me and cackle wickedly:

Bwahahahahaha! This is me, cackling wickedly!

I also love that you have Adelle say "You were a spy, and you got caught," which is almost word-for-word what she said later in The Scene in Epitaph One. The way that so many moments in this series sort of predicted stuff that happened on the show will never stop being awesome.

Lol, oh irony, huh? So much for me not having anything more to do with them...such as, say, a forty part series.
