positively beautiful.

(do you write professionally?)

[hitlikehammers]

Goodness - thank you so, so much, truly; that you would even suggest that I could possibly write professionally absolutely blows me away - I'm more than just flattered, I'm pretty well speechless! (To answer the question, though - I've always wanted to write professionally, but alas, I do not.)

[haldoor]

Oh, that is incredible. Your poetic bent with words constantly amazes me. I second lostpuffin, because if you don't write professionally, you certainly ought to!

[hitlikehammers]

Wow - thank you! *blushes* I really don't know what to say to this, other than to just keep repeating "thank you!" with various tones and inflections - I'm absolutely flattered that you so enjoyed this, and that you think I could pull off writing professionally! Gah! *hugs*

*and more blushing*

I am in awe, and I love this so. Imagery and lyric prose woven together seamlessly, evoking vivid flashes and steeping me in atmosphere ~ it's what I always try to do, and what I love, and you have excelled. Madame, I do like your style!

The constant in his equation, the cadence of his world. The echo of his heart. Lovely.

And there’s no rhythm anymore, no melody, but the ivory shines like sweat-slick skin, and he remembers that, in the hollow of his soul. He remembers that. So even though the song is dissonant, it never, ever stops. Oh so bittersweet ~ a perfect image to end on, one that will never, ever stop in my heart, as well as in Daniel's.

Thank you so very much ~ this is a most worthy offering!

[hitlikehammers]

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am that you so enjoyed this! I'm so glad that the imagery worked well for you (and I might possibly be grinning like a loon to hear that you liked the style overall... :D) Thank you!

[siluria]

And.... I've run out of words. I just don't think there are any out there that fit. You have a style that I really want to be able to emulate - maybe some day :) You manage to create a real depth of thought, of feelings and of imagery that build up entire worlds and relationships *loves*

And.... I've just had a horrible thought - did I promise you some live Matchbox Twenty?

[hitlikehammers]

If you're running out of words, then so am I. Because honestly, you just keep making me grin like an idiot and blush like crazy, all at the same time :D I cannot possibly, by any reasonable stretch of the imagination, thank you enough.

And don't have a horrible thought - the Matchbox Twenty stuff was more if you thought of it/had the time/already had it ready somewhere. Don't even fret :)

[siluria]

Matchbox 20 :) - that's the list of songs voted for by the fans on the US tour to go on a best of collection!

I like making people grin :D xxxxxx

[hitlikehammers]

That is amazing. Thank you so much! :D

[soda_and_capes]

Holy shit, your writing is gorgeous. I'm also just delighted that someone has written this pairing! This was incredibly beautiful and distressing in all the best ways.

[hitlikehammers]

Goodness - thank you so much! I'm thrilled you enjoyed this; and honestly, this was one of my first ventures into writing this pairing, but I was hooked pretty quickly on the dynamic between them, so I might try writing them again sometime :)
