GAH! That was so heartbreaking but so lovely (I love the angst so much).

[rogoblue]

This pairing is all about the angst and the suffering (spoken or not). It made me sad to write Dominic in this state, but this is where he needed to be.

They both kind of throw away everything (kind of like they did in the show). Neither trusted enough.

Thanks for reading.

Ahhhh! You've just captured their relationship perfectly (built on angst!). Love it!
-amzzzziohi (LJ won't let me log on and it's making me want to throw my iphone- I'm on the train, I'll get looks lol)

Hoping LJ will be kinder to you in the future.

Thanks for letting us know that the characters rang true for you in this AU setting. It's kind of nervewracking trying to make that work sometimes.

This played to me as a reflection of their final "confrontation" in Spy in the House of Love. Angst, arrogance and pride all rolled into one.

Fun times (sort of)!

“You know you can admit that you've lost something.” Judith spoke so gently Adelle had to stamp down the impulse to respond savagely that the other woman had no idea the enormity of what she had lost.

This is about when I lost it and the tears fell.

“Nothing of great importance,” she said, cadence measured, pitch and volume controlled, “and certainly nothing I can't live without.” She lied and Judith's stricken expression told her just how well. “Could you go back to work now, please; we have a great deal to do.” Such a dismissal, even Judith couldn't ignore.

This is when I let out a strangled cry and couldn't see because of the tears.

You guys just completely messed me up with this. Guh. I can't even. I don't know what's going to happen now.

I'm sorry to have made you cry but I'm kind of glad you did. This was an emotional scene and I always hope for an emotional reaction to scenes like this.

Well, as to what happens now ... it was supposed to be kind of an epilogue. I guess you could call it the little epilogue that grew and grew and grew.

Will most more soon.

As to what's next - I'm pretty sure it's the attic and the end of the world... Or something like that.

I can't believe that was supposed to be the epilogue. That ending would've killed me.
