*patiently (not really) waits for the DVD extra*

Woah. From Innogen to Beatrice and even Maria; remind me never to mess with the women in Leonato's household. I thoroughly enjoyed Innogen pouncing out of her seat like a lioness with her eye on the prey and defending her family so fiercely. It was amazing to read.

“Believe me when I swear that thy other punishments will make thee yearn for this pain. Take him away!”

I love this line! It's just so strong and powerful, it makes me so proud of Beatrice for some reason. I imagine Benedick feels the same way. Don John better be prepared for whatever punishments the two of them can come up with.

Thank God Leonato decided to not let Hero marry Claudio. Not yet anyway. I really despised him when he believed every lie that came out of Claudio and Don Pedro's mouth in the play. I hated that he didn't believe his own daughter and was ready to kill her until Benedick stepped in. You have redeemed him. A little bit.

No father in the right mind will let his daughter marry a man who have proved to be a petty and insecure little man. I like that their wedding did not happen. I always wanted Hero to decide that she'd rather be alone for the rest of her life than to be with Claudio. He so does not deserve her. I hope Leonato makes him work hard to win back their trust and her love again. Life's too easy for him if she just marries him without a second thought, like she did in the play.

Opps. Sorry for the long comment. I love this :D

Tomorrow at the latest. :)

Well, get Hero mad enough and she joins the ranks. Here I think she was in too much shock.

Benedick is naturally proud of Beatrice, and honored and humbled to call her his wife. And no way Don Jon will be prepared. ;)

Why do you think Benedick has little fondness for the man? And yet he is better than his own father. (Makes you wonder how bad such a scene would've been with a father like that. *shudders*) Yeah, slightly. Maybe a bit more than in the play or in any of the other fics I've written. Why do you think Benedick had to use Leonato's honor against him in "Seals of Love" to ensure he let him defend Hero's honor?

Yeah, it would've served Claudio right if Hero choice that instead, or worse that she found someone else. Someday I might write that. And no way she'd take the Prince when he bought the lies.

Never apologize for a long comment. I love them. *hugs* They're almost like medicine since I've been unwell. :)

I shall do everything I can to not go crazy while waiting for it (:

I agree. She's probably in too much shock to know how to react. I hope when she does recover, she'll make them quiver in fear.

Yeah. Sadly. This man, while I believe he does love his daughter very much, loves himself and his reputation more. Which is really sad when you think about it. Poor Hero. I always thought of her as a Daddy's girl and to have your father think of you like that is just horrible. At least she has Benedick and Beatrice to care for her.

Please write it. I want Hero to find someone more deserving of her. Claudio needs to be taught a lesson, even one as painful as losing her. If he truly loves her, he would have believed her. He would have stood by her and do everything in his power to prove her innocence. Like Leonato, he loves himself more.

I'm sorry you're feeling unwell. That makes the two of us. *hugs* Feel better!

I've been trying to work on other stories today and yesterday, with varying success. So I have my own madness to contend with.

Hero was the one to denature Don John in "Glance of Love". Give her time.

Reputation. You know the irony in that? In not knowing your child enough your reputation and honor are damaged anyway. So Leonato is worse off than he would have been had he challenged the accusation from the start. Never mind Claudio.

Let me find the right setting for it. Maybe one of the next stories I have in mind.

Thanks. *hugs* You feel better soon, too. (And as always, feel free to reread and comment on anything in any chapter. I expect to be posting something else in addition to the DVD extra soon. Not MAAN. DW.)

Oh irony. Thou art a heartless bitch.

A man's pride is his worst downfall. S

Yay! More stories :D I will keep a lookout for all of them!

Sometimes she creates delicious moments for those of us who enjoy seeing someone get what's coming to them.

Yep. Goes for long-lived aliens, too.
