Oh, that is so sad! I liked that we understood everything that was going on as Gwen understood. We didn't need any additional context, just the way in which Gwen understood cues and events. I think it was sadder that she was willing to do this for him, and to get away from it all, than it was that Arthur had, somehow, come to this point and this person. Great writing, and I liked that it kind of mirrored the scene from s5, as well.

Thank you so much!<3

I'm really glad this worked for you, I was in a bit of a daze when I wrote it (no big deal, just starving and sleepless and with tons of homework--totally sane writing process, of course) so I wasn't sure if it made sense as it had in my head. And yes, it is sad (and kind of horrible) to think that someone could get to do something like that to the person they "love", but it's worse when the person in "danger", so to speak, gives in willingly. So yeah, I get what you mean akbdksbfds.

And ohhh good! I was thinking of something like that when I wrote it! Just that I didn't want to detail their surroundings, it felt too forced (also, I wanted to play with the idea that it can work in either a canon era au or a modern one, so...).

Massive thank you (again)!

Oh, I didn't even realize you didn't go into scenery details! That's what worked so well with having it as a mirror, actually. I immediately provided setting and time-line for it, and it all seemed to fit in flawlessly as I read.

I think we writer types work best under pressure. :P Maybe not the food one (too far into chaos!!), but the sleep one, definitely. How many things only get written after 3am??

I'm glad that worked for you!<3 I really did pictured something canon-y when I was creating it so akjbdkdbfksd--

I wasn't particularly under pressure. It just came into my head and I had to drop my human necesities so... akjjdbksfbs (and YES. Everything comes to me at night, and at ungodly hours too sadbskfbksd. I'm a creature of the night~ ajdnakfjeek

*jaw drops* This is incredible. Dark and twisted (and I mean that in the best possible way! ;) ) and so completely original. Brilliantly unusual.

Oh *blushes* thank you so much!! <3 I'm really glad you liked it!! (and no worries, dark and twisted are good things in my ears--or at least, they are here ahbkdfbks).
