For all the writers out there: go through your writing account (whatever you use)
1. Pick ten of your fav! fictions you've ever written written this year. Name why.
2. List them in order from oldest to newest--10 being oldest, one being newest.
3. Actually read the fic. Have you changed much as a writer? - Explain things you lol'd about and such.

When I left my comment on that fic, I swear that I meant all of the positive things I said. It was a real fun, nicely written fic. But I think that once that "new fic!" excitement wore off, I was left with an unhappy feeling and I realized that I didn't like it so much.
I think it's because I much prefer a monogamous relationship. I like seeing that special connection between two people, all the sweetness and the romance. I wasn't happy to see "/Deadpool" tacked onto the end of my favorite Xigbar pairing. I wasn't happy at the parts where Mirage would turn and show affection to Deadpool instead. I think I actually felt bad for Xigbar. (I'm so sick, I know. Feeling bad for a fictional character.) I just don't believe that you can actually love two people at the same time, not completely. You either give all of you to someone, or nothing.
I feel like all the romance that was being built up in your Xigbar/Mirage fics up till this one was sort of... spoiled... for me, at least. :(
Also, I thought Xigbar was a little ooc. In Anti-Hero, Anti-Villain I thought it was real cute when you mentioned that Braig used to love reading comic books. Nice little detail that adds to his character. Despite that, I don't see Xigbar going into full-on fanboy mode flailing, jumping up and down, and acting a lot like a tween. I'm sure he'd be excited, especially if he is such an avid comic reader, but I'd have liked it better if he managed to hold onto his dignity.
My Xigbar muse would also like to point out that there's no way he'd ever share his lady friends with another man. Nor does he think that being controlled would be as pleasant as Deadpool made it sound.
And that's it. Nnnrrrgh! *groans painfully* See? Now I feel a horrible, evil, mean person. Please, please, PLEASE! Don't let my comments make you feel bad about your writing or about this ship. You really are an awesome writer and I'm not trying to badmouth you at all. If you like this threesome, then that's great. It would be real childish of me to get angry at you just because we differ on ships.
I really hope I didn't make you feel bad. :( *slips back into the shadows*
