That was absolutely lovely! I love how you wrote this; it's a great, realistic portrayal and I absolutely adore how she struggles and yet is perpetually Jilly.

YEAH JILLY.

Hahaha. She makes a very up-to-date sort of Lorelei Lee, doesn't she? One with a perfect rainbow of ice on her bod and ice in her heart. But touchingly vulnerable all the same. Well done!

(She could use some ice on her face, too, because Gwen's such a BAMF.)

Go Jilly! I love the way she reclaims her name at the end, and she uses her tenacity to survive after losing almost everything.

:D Yay Jilly!

*flails* JILLY! Thank you SO much - this is perfect! Jilly is such an interesting character, and you captured her so well here. That tenacity that allows her to remain calm in such an extraordinarily CRAZY situation, to sell the clothes off her back if need be to survive, while still keeping that slightly vulnerable edge - I LOVE IT.

I also really loved the line about Rosetta Stone, lol. In short, I really, really enjoyed this - thank you!! ^_^
