I love this. Mary makes an excellent Slayer. And I will never fall out of love with Dickon.

This story broke my brain and put it back together in the most fabulous way! INCREDIBLE.

Coming late to this via rec from ladyofthelog. This is a brilliant execution of such an incredibly cracky premise, and I love it. The sheep! The flowers!

I haven't read The Secret Garden in YEARS but this was too good to pass up. I'm actually Hindu and I LOVE how you mix in Indian legends and Dickon knowing, and it was all done very well.

Spot-on characterisation, and great settings, and it's scary that I think the plot is plausible BUT IT ISSSS. Wonderful work!

(Also, excuse my laziness to log out of my roleplay account, I am currently tagging Buffy. xD)

I came across this via azephirin. This is fantastic and utterly believable. It doesn't feel like crack. It makes me want to know what other random adventures Mary, Dickon and Colin get up to.
