*siiiiiiighs contentedly* What a wrap-up! *pets the last line*

To start back at the beginning... hurrah for the Queen getting involved and finding out what Ambrose had been suffering, and finally figuring out what was going on with Azkadellia (and putting her foot down with her!) and for calling off Bernhaben. I was rather cheering for her for finally taking hold of the situation, esp since by this point she was the only one who really could. It was nice how she and DG teamed up to try to fix the mess as best they could, too.

The part where Ambrose figures out a way to touch Cain - "Currents have a long reach," Ambrose said, smiling. "My lungs can reach farther than my hands." - was Just So Beautiful. And a very Ambrosian solution to what seemed an impossible task ( ... )

<3 <3 <3 I am SO SO SO glad you liked this. I was so afraid Ch. 18 was just going to fall on its own face, or that the Queen intervening was too deus-ex-machina, but it just seemed like it was what had to happen. I really didn't want this to turn into a police procedural with a courtroom drama, and.. well, I really liked not knowing for sure how complicit Ambrose was in the whole thing, whether Az just jumped, or Ambrose gave in and pushed her, or if just the Glitch side took enough prerogative to shove, and I hated the thought of pinning it down. ...I guess it's been that way the whole time, though--disappearing, visiting Az at the tree and so on. I want him to be imperfect, and don't want to absolve him of everything as not being under his own control, but don't want to nail him down to any particular misdeeds, either. ...I actually don't even think *he* knows exactly how involved he's been, which is just scary and lovely ( ... )
