What a brilliant jump-cut from universe to universe! I had to reorient myself and I loved every single sentence it took me to do it. What had Cordy decided on? Only the BEST THING EVER!!!!! And how much do I love their decision to start the company? Plus, the hot kitchen sex? Rrowl! I can't believe, as many times as we've all written the microwaved blood, no one has used it like that for an aphrodisiac before. LOL I think my brain just sploded.
I've wanted a sequel since the first time I read Leaving Hell, but kind like I've wanted my own shiny black Porsche or to marry Keanu Reeves. I mean, I never thought it'd actually happen. So to click over to ST today and see this there, after the crappy summer I just had, was like a little ray of hope. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!
:hugs you tight: Thanks for taking me back to so many wonderful memories, sweetie. And that Mistiec was your beta? That much better, two of my favorite people creating one special story. You couldn't rock any more if you tried.
Thank you so, so much!! :) Your feedback -- on every. single. chapter. omg -- has been so lovely and gratifying and wonderful to receive. THANK YOU!!
I'm glad you thought the story worked so well, that all the little ends-tying in this chapter made sense, and that the kitchen/blood sex was great. Yay!
You really should give some of the praise to yourself, though. If it hadn't been for your comments earlier this year, I never would have looked at this universe again, and I certainly wouldn't have ever reimagined it this way (my initial sequel thoughts were so much less than this). You prompted me to reboot my own universe -- thank you!! :)
(And, yes, as soon as I decided to write this I emailed Mel and asked if she'd read it over for me, seeing as how the first one was totally written for her way back when. I was so stoked when she said yes. *g*)
Thank you, bb. I'm really happy you enjoyed the story so. :)
Wow. I feel like I just read an epic masterpiece. Wow.
Honestly, I just spent the last two days re-reading 'Leaving Hell' and reading this fantastic sequel and I'm just flabbergasted. I remember when I first joined the C/A fandom and how I giddily devoured all of their fics I could find, and how this one especially stuck with me because it involved everything I love about Cordelia Chase and to now read a sequel and one as amazing as this is just..BRILLIANT! You did a fantastic job and captured their voices so well. Guh. I have no words. Just brilliant!
Thank you!! It was hella fun returning to this 'verse after all these years, so I'm really pleased that you thought the continuation of it worked so well. *beams*
I never thought we'd get a sequel to Leaving Hell so when starlet rec'd this fic I actually squeed. And the story didn't disappoint! It's been a while since I devoured a fanfic this greedily. That was a terrific read.
Wow, thank you!! This is awesome feedback to receive, and I'm really touched. Writing this story was nostalgic and fun and awesome, and I love that you enjoyed reading it so. :)
Seriously -- thank you. Your feedback made my day. :)
