Oh my! This is absolutely the most lovely thing in the world and I will be able to more coherently comment on this when I've gotten some sleep and when I stop grinning so much. :D Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[secret_kracken]

:D You're welcome, you're welcome, and you're MORE than welcome! I'm really so glad you enjoyed it, I was feeling a bit insecure about it, actually. ^_^;; So I'm thrilled it made you grin. <3

[ea_lyons]

I do hope that all insecurities are put to rest now. :) I was a bit worried that no one would be able to come up with anything seeing as I was fairly vague. However, you did this exquisitely. I'm still kind of, "Guh!" over it all cause it's exactly what I wanted.

There were some parts that stuck out in my mind: Crawly as a dinosaur (hilarious!); the there, but not there sightings of War before she had her name; the wing-massage that sent a twinge up my back in sympathy and the way the humans acted and reacted...so very disturbing and so very human.

Crawly as a dinosaur

For some reason I keep getting the mental image of the T-Rex from Meet the Robinsons, flailing and growling about having a really big head and tiny little arms. XD

Some of the bits that stuck out for you are my favorites, too, so I'm really ecstatic that you liked them. Thank you, again, so much! :D

Wow. That was... I'm not even sure how to describe how I'm feeling. There was a depth to this. And it was a bit twisted and creepy. And yet, lovely at the same time. I'm sure none of this is very coherent. However, I do know that I liked this very very much.

[secret_kracken]

*blush* Thank you so much! I'm enormously pleased that you got all that from this fic, because that was all I was aiming for and more. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it!!

(And you were perfectly coherent, dear. XD It's only...*checks clock*...twenty after TWO, the night is still young! :P

[sticktothestory]

This was really good. In fact, I'm left a little twitchy myself.

[secret_kracken]

LOL, thank you very much! ;)

[todd_fan]

That was absolutely stunning and I loved every minute of it, so nicely done!

[secret_kracken]

Oh, wow, thank you immensely! <3

>slashed open the dead bodies from throat to groin and stuffed red-hot coals into their open mouths.<

>then he realized that the gash on his chest was rather deeper than he had at first thought (in fact, he knew it had not been this deep or hurt this much before War had appeared), and bleeding profusely, and he realized he really was discorporating<

>“Yes. Where are we heading?”

“EVERYWHERE.”

Crawly shuddered, and War smiled.<

"Chilling" is an overused descriptive but there's simply not another more apt here.

Most chilling of all is her slithery way of seducing the demon up to the moment she suddenly snatches his pinion.

Poor Crowley who wrought more than he intended...

[secret_kracken]

You gotta think that that's just an expected job hazard for a demon: accidentally wreaking a bit too much. XD

Overused or not, I'm very pleased you found the story chilling. It seems to me you can't write about War and not come up with something at least a little scary and ugly.

Thank you so much for reading!!
