'White As Snow, Red As Blood' (11/11)

Jul 15, 2012 02:05

It's done! This last bit is a lot longer than anticipated, but that's Phil's fault - he insisted on one last scene of his own. Thank you for reading, and if you've been holding off on commenting till it's done, now's your chance :D Don't be shy! Help me deal with the 'post finish of a long story' letdown.

Brilliant my dear, just brilliant :)

Going to have to go and read some of the other in the series now!

Very pleased you enjoyed it! I really like the way this one turned out.

Such a trickster, such a fiend! Your version of Loki is downright Machiavellian, and definitely three steps ahead of SHIELD, that's for sure!

I love the snow globe tie-in/post shadowing too--it's a lovely visual image and a mystical fairy-tale touch to the entire story.

Lovely job, truly, lovely job!

Right from the beginning, the snow globe was central to the story, so I'm very glad it had the desired effect.

Nin told me that in comic books, anything you can imagine can happen, so I should just go with it. So mirror universes, alternate timelines... Not sure yet [g] Also, the Mirror of Galadriel was something of an inspiration, so like that one, Loki's may be showing things that have happened, or might happen, or will happen.

Thanks so much for reading!

Love, love, LOVE!!!!! Oh, I love my Loki. Such the trickster. And very dark. Too bad we already know that his first attempt didn't work. But I don't that is going to stop him.

And Phil!!! Love him too. He is the sort to voice his opinions.

Anyway, I love the ending and hope that you do something else soon! xxoo

One of the very first plot points, that Nin helped me come up with, was the Tesseract and at the end of the story, showing Methos can interact with it. That it and Immortals are somehow tied. That basic idea survived post movie rewrite, just a little differently. That idea came fully formed first viewing when Coulson tells Fury that it just turned on. Well, actually, that was Methos' fault [weg] And I've been so eager to get the end for that reason.

Thank you! Well, have a sequel written in my head that takes place during the movie, so we'll see how that goes :)

Ah, so that how it happened (hehe)? Only Methos.

I think that it was rather cool about how Methos interacted with it. It was so real.

And I did enjoy the Coulson and Charlotte interaction. Fury doesn't keep him around because he has a pretty face now (hehe). I liked that.

A story that takes place during the movie? Sounds promising. Good luck with that!

So we have Methos to thanks for the Avengers Movie. LOL
The whole thing was brilliant and I loved it. A great prologue to the movie!!

Phil and the cellist - who now has a name!
I loved how you used so many characters and the little asides of Charlotte life always makes me smile. Comparing Coulson to Chris - I see it. they are always the calm in the storm.

Well done!
