I'd ask if it were possible for something to be magnificent and depressing at the same time - but your story has answered that question in the affirmative already. I know this thought will haunt me for a while:

"but akin to a ghost trying to manifest itself. He’s been an ill-defined image in her mind, misshapen thanks to the protectiveness of self-preservation and time."

but here's hoping that long odds comes through eventually - and the reset button truly can be pressed - this time with a different outcome.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I know this piece was definitely darker than a lot of pre-premiere fic, so I sincerely appreciate you reading and commenting (both here and on FF.net.)

I'm definitely rooting for them in the end...and in my own head, where perhaps, one day when I'm big and strong, I'll write them happy. :)

Thanks again for reading and commenting. You really made my day.

OMG Eff! I can't even express how much I love this. It makes my heart hurt. I love love love the way you write. It's so lyrical and detailed and just beautiful.

Thank you so so much for this! It absolutely made my night. I'm now even more excited than ever for the premiere and especially to squee about it with you!

Kisses!

I can't even express how much I love YOU, so I guess we're even. And I kind of did set out to write you a happy story...and then I remembered I was me and that got tossed out the window. Heeeee. Maybe next year.

MWAHs.

Babe, who needs happy when you have this kind of beauty!

Besides, I totally love the angst!
