I've wanted to read something like this for a long time. I love Anthony and Johanna (especially cross-dressing!Johanna and using-my-sexuality-to-kill-you!Johanna). This is spectacularly well-written and generally awesome. I love the way Johanna's character changes.

Thank you so much. I've wanted to do a really in-depth exploration of Johanna since I first watched the movie two years ago. It took me the better part of a year to get this story together so I'm really pleased the finished product worked for you. Thanks.

I like this a lot, very creative. I absolutely love the whole Johanna/Benjamin dynamic you've created.

Thanks so much. Watching the film of Sweeney Todd I remember wondering if Johanna would find dressing as a boy liberating after being an object for the Judge (and sort of for Anthony) so I wanted to write something to explore the idea.

Very nicely done! I love the twist you've given to Anthony and Johanna's relationship post-musical. Thanks for sharing.

I love this story, now that I've found the time to read it. It's haunting and magical, and I'm chuffed that it has a happy ending.
