*weeps* Oh, this was so sad. Cain's plight and the memories of his loved ones and all.

the light made occasional crackling hums, but they were quiet, thin as fireflies in the night.

And that whole paragraph about Ambrose's hands was so lovely, and then this: one obediently clutching his coat, the other plunging out into fool's errands, tangling in fabric, crushing berries, pushing on doors, grasping onto people.

Ambrose's sudden turnaround once in front of the medic was quite awesome, lol:

Ambrose had stood quite still and tall and asked them fairly acidly if they could please get him a glass of water

And oh, the mercy granted at the end, where he's allowed to be within sight of Cain.

Amazing. It was a hard section to read because I felt so sorry for them and it was all so vividly described. So relieved that DG and Raw were finally able to help, and the token of the stuffed animal was a interesting way to hint how she might be feeling about him at this point. (that he needs comfort and protection, and not anger.)

::hugs SO MUCH:: Thank you so much for your wonderful, sweet comments - I really thought this thing would be dead in the water, now. You have made finishing this totally worth it. <3

I loved how sad this one was, loved writing this one. When I got here it felt like I was really getting to write them again. (But it was really nice to crawl out of the misery afterwards, too!)

(Speaking of which, gonna' go ahead and post 18 and epilogue together now, brb.)

P.S. - the epilogue is totally for you. <3
