♥ ♥ ♥ I'm so very glad you wrote this. I cried hopeful tears at that scene in Rev too.

Aaand I can't pick a favourite line because it's all golden. Going to be rereading this a lot, I'd wager.

Thank you.

Tom Hollander's performance in that scene was breathtaking. And it's a beautiful analogy --- one I think I would use in future.

This is gorgeous, Loz. You really do have a superb angel-currently-known-as-Zak voice. Just the right amount of canonical stalkerness (stalking is bad, Zak! *shakes head*) too.

I love that you end in a similar way to you began (mm, symmetry!) and they way in which we can feel the difference between Zak as he was and Zak as he is.

Just beautiful.

(Gutted for you on the episode front. What are the people playing at, I don't know! Sam West says this is his favourite episode of the series. You shouldn't be deprived of that!)

Thank you ♥

I really needed to write this.

I have been very unlucky when it comes to the show, which I admit is annoying me a tad, since I'm one of about twenty people watching. Still, when I have the DVDs I can rewatch to my heart's content.

THE LATEST EPISODE WAS ALL KINDS OF AMAZING, JEN. ALL KINDS. It's like they write it specifically for us.

Oh, Loz, this is heartbreaking and beautiful and this And he can forget that he is meant to be More, that he has a Purpose. She lets him just be. She teaches him about the wonders of the world and her own enthusiasm is wholly infectious. made me well up a bit.

On another note, why do Matt and Ashley make character death so hard to warn for? I have no idea how to tag some LoM stuff I'm working on @ ao3 without spoiling the series, for example.

♥ Thanks so much. Bittersweet beauty is what I was going for.

Matthew and Ashley are the most evil, it's true. I would say that you shouldn't worry about spoiling LoM, however, since most people know about the ending even if they haven't seen it. It's been five years since it aired. It's sort of like worrying about spoiling "Luke, I am your father".
