Wow, really liked it.
You had Miles down so well, probably one of the best depictions I'v read of him! This was very very good!

[hitlikehammers]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you felt the portrayal of Miles was accurate - I'd never really thought about writing him before this, and I wasn't sure I'd manage him very well, so the fact that you enjoyed him makes me quite happy :)

Oh wow, this is so good, and your writing style is fantastic. I love your take on Miles here, it's so insightful and complex.

So he waits, and he wonders if any of the voices were his own, crying out to him in the future from the past that is his present; if the whispers in his head, so eerily familiar, are just reflections of himself, echoes of his soul transcending space and time, tied to this place - time unending - calling out in hopes of being heard, of changing something; of mattering, one last time.

I'm so in love with that part. It's ingenious and beautiful and oh my god. Awesome work, I really enjoyed reading this!

[hitlikehammers]

Thank you ever so much, truly - I'm thrilled you enjoyed this :) I generally think Miles gets far too little credit, because not only do I absolutely adore his snark, but I also think the potential he has for depth is largely ignored (which will hopefully be rectified in the coming episode(s) at least a bit). Regardless, I am so pleased that you liked his portrayal here.

Oh man, this is so fantastic -- I was going to pick out particular lines I really enjoyed, but then I realized there were just too many! It's so dark and layered and completely Miles ... amazing stuff.

[hitlikehammers]

Thank you! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this :)

[hitlikehammers]

Goodness - thank you! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed this; I wasn't sure I'd quite managed the appropriate tone for Miles, really, but the fact that you liked it nonetheless is absolutely flattering :)

This is an excellent tone for Miles! he can be hard to write, but you pulled it off really well!

[hitlikehammers]

Thank you! I'm really pleased that you thought it worked for him - we know so little about Miles, really, so I wasn't sure if this was too extreme of a speculation or not ;)
