nnnnnggghhhhh The feeeelllliiiinnnnnggsssssses. I can't even.

It was poetic and multi-faceted. It was color and light and flight and falling. And now I'm lacking good descriptions for what this is. It feels so true to character, true to the relationships of Will/Kali and Will/Helen. Will/Helen could be interpreted as shippy I guess, but it felt deeper then that. And I loved the complexity. So I'll end with a thank you.

I think you used some pretty grand descriptors already and I'm glad you liked it enough to let me know. I really wanted to touch on both relationships because I think they've changed Will so much and I'm glad I managed to do that. I think Will/Helen are on a level beyond shippiness. I think she sees a predecessor in him (thus, the term protege), but also a kind of kindred spirit. I think I'm more than a little taken with the idea that he would give up the chance at long life just to see her whole. She's worth that much to him.

Anywho, long story slightly shorter, thank you for reading and I'm really happy you enjoyed it.

Hmmm, successor, not predecessor. The hell.
