The fact that this masterpiece was written ON YOUR PHONE is like Kerouac's scroll for On The Road or something. How is that even possible?! You are an amazing, magic, wizard woman!

This is just . . .spectacular. Yes it is dark but it is also so moving. I did cry, I'm not embarrassed to admit. Just, catharsis, so much catharsis is your stuff. This one especially. How do you write like that? Show me the way! ;)

Laura can barely make out his face, not without her glasses. “You disappoint me,” she states calmly. “If you were my son, I'd have been glad for the Attacks, because it would mean freedom from the shame of bearing you.”

I freaking love that line! It sounds JUST like Laura. Her strength throughout this is just so true to her. I love how you write her in this entire story. I love that she gets all hot from Kara boxing. Who wouldn't?!

There is nothing I can't survive. Oh Kara, my bb! *sobs sobs sobs*

ALL THE MOTHER FRAKKING AWARDS TO YOU! EVERY LAST ONE!

Ha! To be fair, it took me hours and hours. My left arm is injured, so I can actually go faster on the phone because of predictive text and the tiny keyboard that's perfect for a single thumb. <3 <3

I cried when I was writing it, so yeah, no embarrassment allowed. Your comments are always so kind, and I feel like you always pick up on exactly what I'm trying to convey. In this case, it's Laura's strength, and how she sometimes survives by becoming overly rational or emotionally distant. Ugh, and I love that she can be so majorly insulting to her attacker all like, no big deal. *pets*

<3 <3 Now you have to post YOUR fic and let everyone marvel : )

My left arm is injured

I don't like hearing that one bit! Hope you're alright, dear. :( *kisses it better*

And I got an email from you today, but it was like a Re: to another one that I never got. Or maybe accidentally deleted. Or maybe went to spam-land. Idk. Can you resend? Please please please!

Also I would never post mine in such close proximity to one of yours! I can't be following that number! :P

I resent it, did you get it?

Oy, so upon rereading today, my brain decided to hone in all kinds of different angles from yesterday. Like the Laura's confusion and revulsion at her body/brain disconnect during her assault from Cain and also when thinking about Kara/Lee/Sam. That was so hard for me to read about that. Gah, Laura stop breaking my heart!

Btw, can we get a peek into that Kara/Lee/Sam scene? Cuz RAWR!!! Also, maybe those bruises did not come from boxing? Idk.

Also Kara desire to set up outside Laura's cabin on her couch, like a guard dog protecting it's people. And you know how much it took for Kara to ask that, but she just needs Laura to be protected and needs to be that protector even when she's not sure Laura even ever loved her. They are both so desperate to give everything and so reluctant to take anything back.

Just, so many little nuggets of greatness to explore in this. Thanks again. I love it a lot if you can't tell. Haha.

Sweet pea, when I saw this yesterday, I was a bit floored, that you'd come back to this fic and add even more thoughtful feedback...You're just such a generous, giving, considerate person. Le me pet you forever, okay?

Anyway, Clare just quoted you in an email she sent me...and I quoted you in my Kara/Laura meta. You're just so full of quotable comments, woman. Like, your insight into their dynamic is just so spot-on and incredibly well-observed and nuanced.YOU SO SMART.

Stop it you! My commenting does not come from a place of kindness, but is all owed to the way your fic continuously & consistently moves my spirit and blows me away. I'm far less nice than you think. But I greatly appreciate your misguided affections & will allow infinity pettings anytime at all.

The simple truth is your fabulous fic compels my excessive commenting. You can quote me on that, dearest! :-)
