“What else, Helga,” he murmured, “what else have you been keeping secret all these years, locked away behind your smiles?”

I am seriously in love with this line…

“I will stay as long as you wish me to, and it will drain you dry.”

…and this one pretty much slays me. XD

I love all of the dialogue, but the exchanges between Helga and Salazar are particularly gripping; really powerful, the way they interact.

Oh! And I just love your take on the diadem-how it’s a part of Rowena, a “living” thing, like the castle. That’s a new approach, and it’s completely fascinating! As is, actually, Rowena’s mental decline ( ... )

Thank you very much, I'm so glad you liked it! And thank you so much for the comment on the dialogue- dialogue is always is always hard for me, so I'm really pleased that it read well.

ahjjhasaf. I don't think I can be coherent right now, though I may try to. I'm gonna treasure this fic like forever cause it's too much for my little heart. I love it all, each word, each sentence. Their relationships, the way you settled every action, the tension and omg the dialoges. I have no words to explain hwo much and how many I loved this. I loved how well it seemed to settle in time, and their talking, I simply couldn't stop reading it. If I could I just would choose it all to past here. But, If i had to pick something, that would be this:

Nothing at all, Helga affirmed, and knew it to be true. The stone warmed against her skin; the cold indifference fell away until the castle became a great embrace, and Helga laughed and gave and lost herself in something so much greater than she. Its strength thrummed in her veins, and her heart beat in its stones, welcome, welcome ( ... )

beautiful incorporation of known canon with brilliant characterization. I believed in these Founders, deeply, and they bled (metaphorically anyway). stunning work. :)
