Thank you! Glad you liked it.

Very nice...wish I had dreams like that...;)

I really liked the tone of it - it flowed in, actually, quite a dreamlike way, but it was intercut with harsh realism that is almost like a slap round the face or a pinch as Leon almost literally tries to break away from the dream.

Sorry if that doesn't make sense ^_^;; I'm trying to say I enjoyed it! ;)

No, it makes perfect sense. I'm glad it felt properly dream-like: the original plotbunny came from a rant I read about how fictional dreams are too often too coherent, not like real dreams at all.

[mistigri]

Yeah, that's true :s And you have to wonder just how much the Count could get away with if he just kept telling Leon "it's just a dream, my dear detective..." ;)

Make that a challenge - it would be most fun!

[karolja]

:grins: But that's what makes him fun to toy with!

Ahh, really good. I like the subtle characterizations that aren't so over the top, yet still get the point across. Very, very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Part of the fun with Leon is that he is (occasionally) capable of subtlety.

Ooh, lovely! I love dream-writing - those layers were wonderful.

Hi, btw! *is total PSOH newbie*

Thank you! (And I'm new to PSOH myself, so fellow newbies are always welcome. :)
