Holy Crap! It's perfect! The imagery here is awesome, and I love the way the players slowly move into their places, fate arranging them just so. Oh! And just the right amount of sexy! Woo!

I could not have asked for a better response to that prompt!!!

:) Thank you! \o/

This is gorgeous, sweetie. The tone is so hypnotic, trancing, and it's so lush with exactly the right details . . . absolutely the best story of this pairing I've ever read.

Thank you so much! I love your writing so and am beyond pleased that you've rescued the community, it's a pleasure to know you enjoyed my story.

And the words you use to describe have left me swooning. Thank you!

This is amazing! Tough prompt, beautifully carried through.

Thank you so much! I loved the prompt, but yes, the first time I saw it, I just stared for a moment, unsure how I"d ever manage it. I'm so glad you liked the result.

Omigod, I am actually flipping a shit about how much I am in love with this fic. The details and imagery are goooooorgeous, and I love how you write Dru's POV - there's definitely the craziness going on, but in a very pretty way, and the third person is nicely distant so you can still tell what's going on, and it isn't all just "blah blah stars blah random metaphors" and confusing, which some fics can be with Dru.

And there's this like crazy mix of steadily advancing the plot and also being all luscious with the details and in the moment. LOVE ITTTTtttt.

Oh, and I could be wrong, but I think "She eases the stake out from sleeve" should be "her sleeve".

You are indeed correct. Thank you for catching that lost word!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the story! I had such a good time writing Dru and the different ways Buffy and Dru see the world. The prompt was absolutely delightful, but I was worried about doing it justice. Thank you for your feedback!

This worked out incredibly well. I love the imagery and the use of tarot and casting.

And the tiny hits of smut certainly didn't hurt.

Thank you so much! I'd set out to write more smut, but then thought it worked better in a more subtle way, since the focus ended up being on the darkness and Dru's fortunetelling. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
