AHHH. SO GOOD.

*collapses with relief* I'm so glad you like! I was initially wrestling with the Sesame Street prompt, and then I saw you'd recced my Rogue/Kitty fics and I was promptly deeply flattered and plagued with performance anxiety :P

This was really cool for me to write, too, because while I'd been writing Rogue/Kitty, it was all from Rogue's pov so it's been a fun challenge to get into Kitty's head a bit. Thanks for the opportunity! :D

I like the tension to this piece...and how you slowly reveal the threat. I also like how everyone used their abilities to survive. Cool.

Thanks :)

oh my God! That was so beautiful and sad, and really, really awesome all at the same time. I'm usually only luke-warm about this pairing but now I think I might be in love with it. I'm sorry I'm not making more sense but you seem to have fried my brain.

you seem to have fried my brain. High praise indeed! *grins* Thank you!

You are amazing. This was awesome, and I'm right back in their heads.

*love*

Oh, wow! This was amazingly intense, and wonderfully dark, and perfectly in character. And I love all of your characterizations.

My heart is breaking for Rogue and Kitty, though. Powerful, intense writing.

And I love all of your characterizations

Yay -- thank you! This is the first time I've written anyone who wasn't Rogue, so it's a relief to know I've got it right :)
