Fic : The Still Hour

And with my own eyes, I saw the Sibyl of Cumae hanging in a glass,

And when the boys asked her, “Sibyl, what do you want?”

She said, “I want to die.”

- Petronius

She remembers humanity the way other people remember their childhoods, hazy and far off and golden, self-contained as a garden.

This is not her first memory, but it is the

Somewhere along the lines of DCs metro system is my heart. I seem to have lost it there while reading this fantastic piece of work.

I have no words,really.This fic stole them all and left me with just heart-breaking tears and sadness.

This was just so...yeah. Still no words to describe this.I'll review again once I find some coherency.

[ophelietta]

Gah. Thank you. Just... thank you. All other words seemed to have vanished for me, too.

[catherine_heart]

yea...me too.

Oh damn. You slay me with your writing.

The ending is just..mindblowing. Amazing. The entire fic is amazing, really.

[ophelietta]

Oh man, the ending. The ending took - work (and several rewrites!) but I think I finally nudged it closer to where I wanted it to be.

And thank you.

Beautiful. The ending? Heartbreaking yet amazing.

[ophelietta]

Thank you. I was worried people were going to be like "OH NOEZ WHAT CRACK IS THIS ENDING, BURN IT TO THE GROUND" but. Then. You leave comments like this. And. Wow. Thanks, again.

I never, ever read fics where Bella is already a vampire, no matter how highly recommended they come. It's just a thing I have. I can't deal with vampire Bella.

But I made a very unusual exception for this, and I'm glad I did. It was beautiful and breathtaking and the ending was a perfect closure. I also like where you went with Bella's vampire superpower-- very appropriate.

It means so much more, to know that you don't usually venture in this area of the fandom but braved it anyhow. (And didn't run away screaming! XD)

Thank you.

Um. Well. Wow. You are awesome. Here, have a lifetime of servitude, courtesy of yours truly.

[ophelietta]

THANK you. And I suppose I owe you a box of conversation hearts, now. :D
