This is really good. Really good.

I almost feel like tearing up.

God, you make me such a sap!

Okay, actual feedback.

I really liked your Maxie inner dialog. Now you know that I've always been a LnL2 fan. So I give you the credit to make me hate Elizabeth at that moment. I get why that happened but it SUCKS when Lucky tells Maxie that he's coming home and he doesn't come home.

When Lucky does come home, I really wanted him to just bite the bullet and get through to Maxie. If he really didn't see that Maxie was going through the motions, he's an idiot.

Sigh. This gave me feelings. I blame you for making me a SAP!

I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT. I almost sent it to you to get your seal of approval, but then I decided to just bite the bullet and post it.

Thank you, my love!!

First of all, thank you. I know this was a challenge for you, and I hope in a fun way, and I can't believe it's been so long since you wrote TNG...really? Wow. Time flies.

Second of all...you most definitely are still awesome at it.

Okay, feelings:

Positioning it a month from the actual kidnapping puts it at such an interesting time to get at Maxie's thoughts. The initial panic and terror is gone, and there is a somewhat (horrifying and devastating) routine of *hunt* right now, not knowing what the outcome will be, and there's nothing for anyone to do but hold their breath and wait and hope. Lucky knows better than anyone else would what Spencer and Audrey might be going through, and that puts him in maybe the worst position of all (though it really can't compare to Elizabeth and Nikolas and really everyone tangentially involved).

She shakes her head. She won't think that way. She can't think that way. They will find them. They have to find them. She doesn't want to think about what will happen if they don't.Gosh, horrifying ( ... )

I am so very glad you liked it! I was SO worried, you have no idea.

smiley_b June 12 2011, 11:53:02 UTC

Wow. Just.....WOW.

I love your Lucky & Maxie, and my heart broke for Maxie here, expecially the line Not when it's always been Maxie's biggest fear that Elizabeth is still the woman that he'll love last.

The Robin and Maxie scene was great as well - wish we'd see more scenes like this in the actual show!

Thank you!!!

This was just heartbreaking! I love how you captured Maxie's perfectly legitimate fears and doubts about Lucky's commitment to her and Gia vs. Elizabeth and made us live that tension, that despair, that guilt. And, oh, Lucky...what a well-meaning, heroic dope you are! I wanted to shake him! Perfectly in character, perfectly devastating!

Thanks so much!

So this weekend I have gone through and read every single story you've written for this 'verse, and I have to tell you that even though I loved them all, this one was probably my favorite just because of the sheer amount of emotion and how well you captured Maxie. I probably have like, actual feedback, but I can't think of it right now. I just wanted to tell you that I absolutely loved this (and that is a big feat because it's never easy for me to like Lucky with someone besides Elizabeth, but I really really like Lucky and Maxie in this 'verse). And I loved all the others too, of course.

empressearwig February 26 2012, 20:21:21 UTC

Oh wow, that is A LOT of reading! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And Lucky/Maxie. I started this while they were ruining Lucky for Liz/Jason and I just wanted Lucky/Maxie so much, because they were such a little glimmer of something else, even if they tried to ruin them too while they were at it.

Thank you for reading!!!!!! Haha, that is such an inadequate thing to say in this case. Seriously, wow.

duchessofavalon February 26 2012, 20:57:40 UTC

I........am sort of on a serious Lucky/Maxie kick now and I blame you. I blame you a lot. :P

You're welcome! They were all awesome and fun (or depressing and angsty, depending on which story) to read!

empressearwig February 26 2012, 21:09:32 UTC

EEK. In that case, I am extremely sorry because it is not a thing that exists in bulk. Or wasn't when I was still reading GH fic. I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO IT, I SWEAR.

What made you read all of them, can I ask? GH feelings related to Robin's death?
