This is wonderfully evocative and atmospheric. You've created such a hushed tone, I really felt like I was in the quiet northern woods.

And Bethany's "what if?" section was so very telling about herself and her marriage. Really well done!

Wow that was so well done I really loved the undertones of sensuality here. The subtle unspoken understanding between them. I never thought I'd ever ship Roose with any of his other wives, but hawt damn this was incredibly well done. Especially that bit where Roose gives her that unspoken look of approval, how their fingers brush when the blade's returned to him. So dark and strangely sexy too. Beautiful job!

Wow I really liked this! The atmosphere was so well set up. Reminded me almost of an episode of Hannibal.
