Very nice. Almost exactly the way I pictured their history. Good job!

[xaara]

Thank you--I'm glad it worked for you.

That was amazing!

So far all the Ellen, John, William stuff hasn't quite sat right with me either, so until I'm told otherwise, I'm pretty much taking this as canon :)

Also, I loved this line:

“Some of us, it’s a calling.” John’s abruptly serious, his stare gone distant.

Anyway, awesome story!

Thanks. It's just...Ellen called John, and the message was very motherly--Don't be stubborn, you know I can help you--which didn't click at all with the later reveal through the double filter of what Ellen needs Jo to believe and what Jo takes as the truth. (Was that complicated enough? ;) )

Awww. Lovely. John did screw up, but of course, there was more to it. Wonderful.

[xaara]

There's always more to it. ;) Thanks for the comment and welcome back (albeit belatedly) from Italy. From what I read in your journal about the experience, it was a lovely trip.

Heavy, good. I like the respect you have for the characters.

[xaara]

Thank you--I really do love all the characters, and they have lived some fairly rotten lives. I like trying to give them a little bit of hope.

Oh, lovely, and sad. *sniff*

Thank you. *hands over tissues*
