Glad it is not the end for them.

Oh holy! More from you in this verse!! I loved your original one so much and this so wrenching and sad, tired and quiet. I just love this. I hope there might be more some day. Oh, when he stops calling their names. When they start resenting but not backing away fully. Ouch

thanks, wow, i didn't know i had fans! ;-) ah, yeah, i know, it can be a little painful...it's somewhat emotionally draining to write, actually, but that doesn't necessarily mean there won't be more...

The emotion is this set of drabbles is breathtaking. #8 in particular, is just... wow:

Both would do anything for him, and they already have, and that’s where it stops being funny.

♥ The ending is great too, with the perfect balance of confusion and comfort.

thanks, i'm glad you liked it, glad the emotions came through

I requested something just fucking like this THREE TIMES on the kink meme, I swear to god. Your stories, which I hate that I've never cause before now - are the exact thing I needed. Verbatim. This was so beautiful and I can't wait to re-read it.

So beautiful and exactly how xi canon is in my head.

awesome! i'm so glad i read your mind! this whole thing started because of this idea that i had (basically the first drabble in Torn) and I was surprised i hadn't seen anything similar out there. i didn't think i could/would write it myself, but i'm glad i did. thanks!!

Aaaa! You're going to make it better right? Right?! Because I just read both of these and they're wonderful and heartbreaking and...and...wonderful! But heartbreaking! Now you have to fix it with some hot sweaty threesome action. Go! I have more exclamation points and I'm not afraid to use them! *brandishes her exclamation points* Go!

[therumjournals]

ha ha, thanks, yeah, it can be a little emotionally stressful to write, but you guys are totally inspiring me to write some more.

is it even possible to do hot sweaty threesome action in 100-word drabbles? maybe i should consider it a challenge... ;-)
