Oh, my God.

I'm going to read it again, but first, let me just express wonder. This is incredible, and perfect, and I adore it. Thank you for sharing it!

Oh wow! Thanks so much for that glowing compliment :) I really glad you enjoy this!

I loved this! I'm saving it to my memories right away. The style is so fitting for this elusive character. It reminded me of drops of water into a leaky bucket, but by the end it is overflowing. I adore the backstory you created. He walks in circles and then there is this merciful amnesia. I guess you don't need to remember when history keeps repeating itself.

They'll all whisper his name in hell. Lucky for him, those are the whispers he cannot hear.

This is such a haunting line. I love that you don't shy away from his darkness.

I also like the context you gave to Jacob, and made him feel real.

His ambiguity never loses its charm.

God, I know!

Somewhere in the middle you get the truth. Richard knows enough.
Which is more than the rest of them can say.

He seems to have some sort of edge, but just barely. This was excellent. It's one of the best fic I’ve read in months!

Thank you so much! It means a lot that you enjoyed this. You wrote such a beautiful Richard piece, and I trust your judgment on his characterization. I was trying to say a lot with only a few words because I think that's basically what Richard does, so I'm really glad it finally worked out that way.

First of all, I love your icon.

Secondly, thank you so much! Your feedback is seriously always appreciated! This oneshot has been in the works for at least half a year, and it's nice to have finally finished it.

Wow. I am speechless. This is a perfect fic for such wonderful and elusive character. Richard never really is on the good side, nor is he really on the bad side, we don't really know, and maybe he doesn't either.

I love the backstory you gave him and how you wrote the story. Wonderfully written and both the style and the choice of words fit Richard's character very well. I'm glad I read this! There are too few Richard fics to go around, but every one I read it too good to be true.

Great job and thanks for sharing!

Wow. Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I agree there's so little Richard fic out there, but the lack of quantity is made up for in quality.

I'd really want to leave proper feedback for this, but god, I'm in awe and completely speechless. This is utterly beautiful and perfect and incredibly well written. I love this (your Richard voice and the background story you gave him and ... everything, really)! Great, great work; thanks a lot for writing this! :D
