Oh this was just lovely :> I'm sorry I don't have anything constructive or witty to say, but I really loved this, especially Rodney's lines.

[almostnever]

That was very constructive to me! Thank you. :-)

You wrote it! And I love it! What great characterization, and the last sentence is my favorite ending ever. Beloved and blessed, indeed. Thank you for this delight!

[almostnever]

I finished it, for a miracle! :-) So glad you liked it.

Richly done! Rodney's sharp tongue & John cheerful casualness was perfect for this fairy tale

[almostnever]

Thank you very much! That's great to hear.

Hee hee. So cute! I just love Rodney as an enchanted fox. Delightful.

Hee! I recently read a variation of this and so I knew what would happen, mostly, but I wasn't sure of the direction you were going to take it, but oh! John on his orchestrated quest and poor Rodney unable to turn back, and John not quite trusting him but killing him anyway (and yes, I'm aware this sounds nuts), and the bird and the horse and everyone and just, so much love! ♥

This was marvellous, start to finish.

After all the beautiful fairy tale and fantasy AUs you've done, it means a lot to hear this from you. :-) Thank you very much!
