Oh wow. *wibbles* I love El's POV here, and it's so incredibly sad but I really like how you didn't pull any punches and let her be angry, even with the characters we love.

[ivorysilk]

Thank you :-) I tend to not write sad fics--well, not entirely sad fics, not like this one--so I debated posting it. I am glad it worked for you!

Off to WEEP a RIVER now...

Very powerful and gut-wrenching - you know I love the deathfics.

[ivorysilk]

:-) I'm glad! I felt I should warn people away, because even I tend to avoid deathfics at the best of times--but I am glad you liked it! I'm sorry you wept, I hope not too much!

[rabidchild]

But you see, the weeping is the best part!!! Never be sorry for evoking an emotional response, especially when you've warned. This was terrific.

[leonie_alastair]

This is powerful and painful. You captured the anger that accompanies grief so very well. And the last line was heartbreaking.

[ivorysilk]

I could see Elizabeth reacting like this, and I think this is what she -- or any spouse of an officer or soldier -- always dreads.

Emotional and heartbreaking ... and quite beautiful. I love how stark it is. I think you did an amazing, perfect job on this.

*hugs* Thank you so much, my dear! I am really glad you thought so; I really appreciate (always) when you read my stuff, cuz I know it's not necessarily your fandom, so I am thrilled to get a comment from you. Thank you!

[tex_chan]

Awww! You're very welcome! *hugs*

It's not my fandom ... but I do like the show. And a wonderful, well-written story is always a joy to read. ^.~
