Oh god ...
Claude's snapping, Gabriel sounds like a necrophiliac, and Nathan ... *retches*
*sets up camp under the bed with wooden stakes, katana, pair of Sai, garlic, and post the Red Samurai guys around the room. Decide to stay there for a while*
That's so disturbing I might be physically ill ...

Sorry 'bout that! *Hands teddy-bear*

Make the bad man go away, mommy! ...
(You see how much this freaked me out?! MAKE THIS RIGHT!)

[aiisling]

" MAKE THIS RIGHT!"

I'll try! Honestly! Or...maybe not so much. We'll have to wait and see.

I just read through this whole thing-- all the installments-- and this is great!

I'm a history nerd, so I love the setting and the little details, as well as the take on all the characters.

Poor Pietro! First Claude snaps at him and then he gets raped by his brother who he had so much love and trust for.

Wonderful job, and I can't wait to see where you take this. :)

Thank you ^_^

"I'm a history nerd..."
Sweet! *offers secret nerd handshake*

Eeeeeh.

Man, your Nathan is dark.

Still really enjoying the story, even if Natanaele's freaked me out a bit.

"Still really enjoying the story, even if Natanaele's freaked me out a bit."

Oh, good. That you're still enjoying the story, I mean.

*Gulp*. Well. Nathan's kind of creeping me out there.

But this was kind of sweet:
eventually they had fallen into a strange pattern of companionship that mostly consisted of Pietro talking a mile a minute and Claude listening and ridiculing at appropriate moments. - That relationship pretty much in a nutshell.

What I like about this story is that even though sometimes I'm like "look away, look away, it's too terrible!" I still keep reading. It's very compelling stuff.

Only kind of? I'm not doing my job right (I want to put a silly face here, but somehow, knowing what I've got written above, it juuuuust doesn't seem right).

"What I like about this story is that even though sometimes I'm like "look away, look away, it's too terrible!" I still keep reading."

Thank you for the lovely compliment!

Only kind of? - Well, what I was telling myself was that it was a different time, right? And back then, sex wasn't really about sex, it was about power (so very different from today, I'm sure), so it kind of made sense...and no, this isn't just me trying to justify to myself why Nathan isn't horribly evil because I love him. It's not.

Thank you for the lovely compliment!- Hah, yes, I have mad complimenting skills (skillz?). Or not.

"and no, this isn't just me trying to justify to myself why Nathan isn't horribly evil because I love him. It's not."

Of course not. Can't see through that at allllllll.

"And back then, sex wasn't really about sex, it was about power..."

I think it's always been that way, at least to some. And if anyone was going to use sex for power its Natanaele. At least that's how I saw it.
