commentpart for Lizzen:

This is amazing. I will put it away and reread it tonight. Dark and gorgeous and full of horrible tricks. I am so impressed.

[fahye]

Upon rereading: the fact that you managed to turn Edmund/Lucy into a stranger version of sociopath/good girl-with-drugging-and-world-domination is AMAZING, but I should not have expected any less :D

[liminalliz]

I SHOULD BE APPALLED THAT I DID IT, BUT I'M NOT.

(THANK YOU!! <333333333333)

OF COURSE YOU AREN'T, LIZZENFACE.

But I love you because of it anyway.

EEEEEEEEEEE :) :) :)

TROOFAX, and you will enjoy this, I named the fic after the Jesus Christ Superstar song 'Poor Jerusalem' with the "to conquer death you only have to die" and the SIMON SIMON YOU HAVE GOT IT WRONG (mebbe). But then Imry was all THOSE FEEEEEEEEEET IN ANCIENT TIIIIIIIIIIIMES and now I'm newly obsessed with that. WHAT. HOW DID MY UPBRINGING NEVER BRING THAT SONG INTO MY LIFE UNTIL NOW? ASLDFJSDLFJ.

[fahye]

OH YES. I knew I'd heard the title somewhere before! EVEN BETTER.

JERUSALEM WAS MY SCHOOL SONG. I SANG IT AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH FOR SIX YEARS. (My school was an Anglican girls' school with an awesome chapel choir.)

[liminalliz]

OH AWESOME APOCRYPHAL STORIES. OH JESUS IN ENGLAND, LOLS. Oh Anglican girls' schools and their apparent hearting of this song(?!). OH FEET IN ANCIENT TIMES.

ANGLICAN ALL GIRLS' REPRESENT. A bunch of girls in uniform singing Jerusalem will never not be hilarious to me. ARROWS OF DESIRE INDEED. Our song was The Pilgrim, but we sang Jerusalem all the effing time anyway. FOND MEMORIES.

(Fahye, do you have a thing where certain hymns sung by people who are not your school choir sound weird? OR IS IT JUST ME?)

[fahye]

(Yes! Largely 'Just Let Me Say', 'The Power of Your Love' and 'Jesus, Lover Of My Soul', which we sang at SO MANY graduation chapel services. Okay, these are not hymns. But we sang them a lot. I have recorded versions of them and I sing along with the alto line but it's not the same!)

omgz. anglican all girls schools. <3333
