I don't know where to begin heaping love on this. The obvious and easy starting point is the prose, but while it's clearly deserving, I don't want to make the premise feel left out, or the worldbuilding, or the characters. I LOVE YOU ALL YOU ARE GLORIOUS.

I got actual goosebumps right around "please harvest me," though my insides were already happily shivering by the description of the forest. When I figured out what exactly he was I had to stop and go back and reread everything before it because it was all deliciously recontextualized and YES. YES. A+, GOLD STAR, I EXPECT THIS WILL GIVE ME WONDERFUL NIGHTMARES TONIGHT.

Either that, or dreams that are just wonderful, because I want to travel like Mirror travels, because amazing. ♥

Oh! I just remembered this original fic I meant to write titled "Mirror" about someone who gets up one day and walks away and never comes back. I only ever wrote the first few lines, and I don't remmeber where I was planning to go with it, but now I wonder if I didn't stop because somewhere I realized that I was reaching across the continent and stealing it from your brain because we're ~~~joined at the synapses~~~ /wishful thinking

One nitpick, possibly:

can acquire skills in any field she pleases, can do whatever she wants, can go anything at all

Did you mean go or do? My eye snagged on it, so I thought I'd ask. :P

Annnyway I love this more than words. Actually, no, I love this like I love words, because I don't love much of anything more than words and this is full of really good ones.

Also, you. I love you, because your brain is full of words like these.

Thank you for. Every word. You have ever written to me. :') These ones included, egjodkgj! This is the first 'complete' thing I've written in a while and.... I fought with every sentence, hahaha. I enjoyed writing it, and I very much enjoy the result, but the whole dealio was haunted by shades of catharsis. It had to happen, whether I felt inspired or not. I am soooo happy that it came together as a cohesive.... thing! And, better yet, that it served to divert and please you!

sdkjfsk, I LOVE YOUR EDITING EAGLE-EYE. That line should be can go anywhere at all, in line with Mirror's sense of being.... not really trapped but limited to a very specific space.

I am convinced that we are braintwins. We draw words and ideas from the same well, and I feel MOST FORTUNATE to have the privilege of lurking around your corner of the woods, leaving and finding little gifts of stories hidden in the branches of trees~~~♥

And here I thought it was your corner of the woods! And what a lovely image. ♥

Anyhoo, now I want to write too. I have so many WIPs lying around that I actually like but haven't felt like looking at in like a year. You're inspiring~
