This is so, so gorgeous. I tried to choose a favourite part and couldn't, but the language is beautiful and the characters are so sharply defined, like the blades Cesare favours. More importantly, much of that strength and sharpness come from the way you tangled them together - I can't imagine this Lucrezia without Cesare as her darker half, the violence to her resilience.

Would it be too much trouble for you if I asked you to send me a PM when you update the story? I don't check my flist very often and I'd probably miss the notification at cesare_lucrezia. I'm really looking forward to more of this.

This is really good. My favourite bit is the story about Cesare cutting off the man's ear - so very believable!

Very well written with some historical (rumored) Lucrezia coming through with the pill ring.

Interested to read more.

Thanks, Verbyna, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! That's definitely how I see them: two halves of the same whole. No trouble at all, I will definitely PM you when the next part is posted (hopefully soon, if I can battle procrastination more effectively than usual):)

redfeu, I love that that was your favorite part--I nearly took it out, initially, and then it ended up kind of defining the rest of the story...

thanks, asiacheeta--L's poison ring should come up more in the next part, so stay tuned!
