I love the idea that all the Banished Blacks had a support network! Your Cedrella and Septimus are nice characterized in just a few words.

Very enjoyable!

Yeah, I do too! Strength in numbers, after all.

Thank you! :)

Thanks!

In my mind, they were visiting Dyserth Falls, which a British friend mentioned recently as one of her favorite spots.

WTF, LJ? Why do you keep messing up all my links?!

What an amesome idea to spotlight the Black family through a well-planned theme - I'm enoying this very much!

allie_andromeda July 29 2008, 17:20:30 UTC

Yay, I'm so glad you like it! I like to have some sort of plot, even in drabbles, and this seemed like a good way to connect them all.

Three down, two to go!

I really like this series, but I think this is my favorite yet. The idea that there are others out there not simply delighting in Walpurga's misery, but actively sympathetic to young lovers is just cool! I'd love to see more of these two!

*bounces* Thank you!

I admit, Cedrella and Septimus have been very inspiring, and I now want to write a fic about them with no word limit. :)

I loved the tone of this, and everyone getting the same news. It takes me a bit of time to catch on. Sorry for being obtuse. Nice drabble.

allie_andromeda July 29 2008, 20:14:39 UTC

Awesome, I'm glad you like it!

Actually, I was worried that people who weren't quite as familiar with the Blacks would be lost. Did it confuse you too much?

ceirdwenfc July 29 2008, 20:18:29 UTC

No, not confusing. The names I didn't recognize (Callie and Pollux) didn't affect the reading of the story. It still flowed well. The listing of the pairings and the Author's Notes certainly helped, but it worked.

allie_andromeda July 29 2008, 20:23:33 UTC

Oh, good! I'm glad. :)
