This was really sweet. Love the John/Cam dynamic here. I do have to admit i was a little confused about Cam's condition at first - I kind of thought he was a full wolfman, not a werewolf.
I was discussing that same point with my beta right before I posted it. She and I have some ideas how to make it a little easier to "picture" right up front so I'll probably be rewriting a little bit because I'd like to write some more in this 'verse. Thank you for letting me know how you pictured it!
Wow... I really love the voice you gave this. It's hopeful and sad all at once. I'm so glad that John (and the team) was able to help Cam come to terms with what he now is and to find happiness.
poor Cam. but then, it gives him a perfect reason to be in Atlantis with John, even if it takes time to work out the details. misfortune that brings a happy ending - and i'm a sucker for happy ending.
Loved this! Very well written and I also loved the John/Cam dynamic. I really felt bad for Cam and all he lost, but when he discovers what he hasn't lost is the best part.
Love this!! I've read it three times in the past hour, and it gets better and better. Does sometimes need a bit of exposition though! Looking forward to reading it again...
But I can't help wondering about the Briggs reference... I've read the Mercy series so I'll know what you mean, if you could spell it out for me :P
I put in the Briggs reference as a way of explaining that he turned into a wolf and not some scary looking hybrid creature like, say, Remus in the Harry Potter movies. I didn't expand on that much because I wasn't too sure how many people even knew the series. It just means that he is a wolf but retains something of himself when he changes.
Thanks for that! I was bending my brain around concept elements (eg. when a 'wolf can or needs to change) specific to each authors' incarnation and got rather confused about the relevance to your story :D I'm kinda an amateur literary critic - certainly an amateur literature student!!
My beta and I are in talks about that very thing in this story. It's not explained well (mostly because I was going in one direction but then changed mid-story into another direction and some of those elements got muddled) but I'm planning a rewrite where I'm hoping to strengthen that part of the story. I'd kind of like to write in this 'verse more but we need to iron out the concept elements first.
