oooh, lovely imagery

Thank you sweetheart :D

*twirls you in passing*

Man, I feel like I'm *there*. My nostrils are twitching as I type this. So sexy and dark. Beautiful, bringing in the coffin reference.

And Emily! ::shivers with delight::

Being there is *good* (though possibly not in the same room as the cigar smoke!)

Emily does have that effect, doesn't she?

ooh! very nice imagery - love the smoke and the descriptions of the guillotine

(minor thing: you might want to specify in the characters line which alice this is - i mean, i got it from the context and the fact you mentioned emily in the header, too, but at 1st glance i thought it was jack's daughter alice! which would make this story VERY different)

[itsarift_thing]

Good point, I tagged it with her *whole* name so I really should have thought to put it in the header.

[mad_jaks]

Actually, that just shows how tired I was yesterday - I totally stuffed up that bit of the header!
