Oh my god... that was amazing.... So beautiful and heartbreaking... Excellently well-written... Brilliant.

Fiona
(And yes I did read it twice!!!)

[priscellie]

Thanks so much!

[terioncalling]

Woooo! That was sneaky sneaky sneaky. Somehow I MISSED - completely MISSED - that it was Murph on the first read and thought it was Molly. Then I skipped back and reskimmed and realized it. SNEAKY HOR! XD Good work!

And, God, poor Harry...

[priscellie]

Yup! That's what I was trying to fool the readers into believing. What with the natural blondeness and blue eyes and punkish haircuts (reread Fool Moon!) and Catholicism and being oldest of several siblings and having a mother they're surprisingly similar to and having Harry as their guide to the supernatural world...

Readers will never trust me again, but then again I am a sneaky hor. :D

[terioncalling]

Heheh, I'll trust you again. I like the twist and having to go back to go "Wha - huh - OH! SNEAKY!" Twists are fun 'cause they're all...twisty and, y'know, stuff like that. XD

[priscellie]

Oh! And Harry promises both Molly and Murphy's mothers that he would take care of them! How could I forget that one? I use it in the fic!

[ladyfiresprite]

Ooo, what a beautifully done fic!

[priscellie]

Thank you! *steals Jack from your icon*

So what's up with these compliments in the comments? Death threats, people! Death threats!

[terioncalling]

Okay...I threaten you with death.

...is it bad that I want to see what happens after?

[priscellie]

Yay, death threats! *hugs*

And thanks to YOU, I've been thinking all day about what happens next. I have lots of ideas, but I don't want to write something that dark and I like this as a one-off. Hear that logic, stupid bunnies? Why won't you die? *blasts them with a shoulder-mounted grenade launcher*

[innogen]

::cries:: OMG, please tell me she doesn't really die in the books as well.

I did read it twice to pick up all the clues, and wow, they are really well placed!

[priscellie]

*laughs* Nope. As of the end of Proven Guilty, she is still very much alive. Of course, what happens in White Night is anybody's guess.

(Well, not my guess. I read it two weeks ago. But the fic was mostly written by that point. :D)

Glad you enjoyed!

[livebythebooks]

You read it two weeks ago?! How in the world did you get your paws on the ARC? I've been reading and reviewing for my local bookshop and they said, :( about White Night.

[priscellie]

It's not an ARC. Buzzy Multimedia was selling copies at StellarCon, and I bribed a fellow fan into getting a copy for me, signed by the man himself! It's amusing how thoroughly Jim butchered the spelling of my name. :D *tips the pun jar*

[andrea7_5n]

Well, I do believe that you are 'sneaky sneaky'..hehe

That was beautifully written, my heart broke at the end along with Harry's though..*gives Harry a hug*
Wonderful job hun!!

[terioncalling]

Is that Cary Grant I see in your icon?

[andrea7_5n]

Yes it is, the one and only! *smiles* I adore Cary Grant!!

[terioncalling]

Everyone should adore Cary Grant. Your icon makes me want to watch his movies but, alas, I have none. Grr. Need movies. Must find.
