Diiiita. Took me a sec, but I got it. Is that femmeslash I see? I...am surprisingly interested! Though Eden really ought to be spending time with Mohinder, since Sylar ain't gonna do it. I rather liked that whole bit, actually...it feels real, and slightly depressing, which makes it more real. Is it strange to say that I want to see more death-camp stuff? This story induces me to say many things about the Holocaust one would not normally say.

(I feel lucky that I don't have to research the Holocaust as much as you. Battles and military rankings cause fewer fits of sobbing.)

Good girl :)

Heh. It might be, sortakinda. It just seemed like something Eva would do. Do you think I need to put a warning on the fic? ;)

Though Eden really ought to be spending time with Mohinder, since Sylar ain't gonna do it.

LOL! She will, though I'm still working out the nature of their relationship.

Yes, I'd noticed that! Well, there will be more camp-based stuff before the story is out - there are too many things to be said about it, really, but if the story was entirely focused on the camps, it would be so depressing that nobody would read it anymore.

(How's your story coming? And when can we expect another chapter of the BDPS?)

[futuresoon]

I don't think you need to put a warning for it! It's so brief and mild as to be unobjectionable, I think. I wouldn't worry about the story being too depressing--it's a Holocaust AU, people expect it to be less-than-pleasant. :P We all like a good bit of angst.

(It's going good! I've got a file full of about 11,000 words' worth of stuff, and at least 10,000 of it is stuff I'm definitely going to use. It's all disconnected--bits and pieces, character dossiers, random small scenes--but I think the story's going to be like that. The BDPS will update again tomorrow, 'cause I think three days is a suitable time period between chapters. Once a week is too few, once a day is too many...so, every three days.)

[indyhat]

Yeah, I thought it was unobjectionable. One would have to be pretty harcore to enjoy slash and yet object violently to two women kissing. I mean.

Oh good! IYSWIM.

Cool! Can't wait to read. And the next BDPS! :)

Is Dita an original character or am I simply not making the 'Heroes' connection? Did enjoy her interaction with Eva, though. Thought it spoke volumes on both of them.

Fantastic, as usual.

[indyhat]

She's in the series ... think of Dita as a shortening of her real name (and the clue is in the tags, if you really can't guess).

Did enjoy her interaction with Eva, though. Thought it spoke volumes on both of them.

Thank you. That one just jumped out at me sometime last week - it seemed to fit.

Glad you liked :)

(and the clue is in the tags, if you really can't guess).

Oh... Yeah, I never would've got that... [laugh] I kept going, "Who has a "D" name? Dale? But that doesn't sound like her...."

[indyhat]

*g* Well, maybe it was a bit obscure.

Nah, no Dale. Yet. Maybe I'll throw her in later and she can smack Sylar upside the head with a wrench. Karmic revenge ;)

[deadworthless21]

Another exellent chapter a usual, you have a real writing talent. Looking forward to the next chapter.

[indyhat]

Thank you :) Glad you're enjoying!

[visiblemarket]

Yay! But also...oh. That's sad. Concentration camps...not something you really want to say "yay" about.

I didn't get Dita either, until I checked the tags, but this:
"I live- lived on a barge. A houseboat."
Really should've tipped me off. Very clever.

And Mohinder being all gentlemanly...very sweet.

Peter being nervous/kinda jealous of Bennetti makes me want to pet him...but Claude being so protective and comforting and sweet kind of makes me unnecessary.

Great job, again.

[indyhat]

Yay! But also...oh. That's sad. Concentration camps...not something you really want to say "yay" about.

Yeah ... Westerbork was sortakinda okay (in the sense of being less bad), but all future camp-based stuff is going to be Grim As Hell. Sorry in advance.

this:
"I live- lived on a barge. A houseboat."
Really should've tipped me off. Very clever.

*g* I'm glad someone picked up on that! Don't worry that you didn't get the name - it was a big stretch.

And Mohinder being all gentlemanly...very sweet.

Well, he is ;)

Peter being nervous/kinda jealous of Bennetti makes me want to pet him...but Claude being so protective and comforting and sweet kind of makes me unnecessary.

Ah, love triangles ... ;)

Glad you enjoyed! I had a lot of fun writing this, for all that some of it is grim. Think I got my Safe mojo back, lately :)

[visiblemarket]

Westerbork was sortakinda okay (in the sense of being less bad), but all future camp-based stuff is going to be Grim As Hell. Sorry in advance.- All right. Thanks for the warning...I'll be sure to read it with my eyes closed. Yes, I'm clever.

*g* I'm glad someone picked up on that!- Of course! That's why I love this so much, those little touches that kind of translate stuff from our reality to theirs (Hiro liking HG Wells was a personal favorite).

Well, he is ;)- And even in the worst situations...aww, Mohinder. He needs love too.

Ah, love triangles ... ;)- *snort*. Yeah, I think for it to count as a love triangle there needs to be interaction (or, you know interaction between all three of the participants.)

Think I got my Safe mojo back, lately :)- YAY! That is good news.

[indyhat]

Thanks for the warning...I'll be sure to read it with my eyes closed. Yes, I'm clever.

Hee. I'll attach warnings, as appropriate.

That's why I love this so much, those little touches that kind of translate stuff from our reality to theirs (Hiro liking HG Wells was a personal favorite).

*g* Thank you. I have fun with that stuff.

aww, Mohinder. He needs love too.

He does ... although this story is not so much about him, so we'll see where that ends up.

I think for it to count as a love triangle there needs to be interaction (or, you know interaction between all three of the participants.)

Nah - even if one side of it is long dissolved, it's still a triangle, I reckon. And once they've dropped Sandrine off at her sister's, it will be just the three of them, and OMG, I hope I can do that chapter justice.

And *laughs* you are not getting a Claude/Peter/Bennet threesome in this fic. No. Although: hee.

And yes, I'm very relieved that my story mojo is back. Hope it sticks around!

[betterthanlegos]

Aw, Peter. Nice little moments between him and Claude as usual.

I can't really think of what else to say being that I need to go to sleep, but excellent chapter :)

[indyhat]

Thank you! Glad you liked it. I couldn't resist a little fluff.

Go to sleep!
