I loved this fiercely, but this? This was one of those cool moments where you can feel all facts and all the emotion of a story rush forward and ring one sentence, one word, like a bell, and the meaning resonates forward and backward through the tale and, when done just right, the reader.
So. This rung my bell like whoa. And it's hard to sneak up on me like that, missy, because I have a wicked "oh, I see where she's going" meter. So simple and devastating and clear. Lovely, lovely, lovely
not a fan of 2nd person pov usually but this works so damn well.
love the answering beginning and end sentences.
weird foreplay indeed but the dream sequence was HOT.
lovely images and details throughout. wanted to quote the bits i liked best but i can't decide on any one and quoting half the fic would feel slightly redundant.
You know, I don't like second person POV either, like, at all. But I wrote 1/2 this story in third, and it felt- flat. Then I reworded some things, changed it to second and VOILA. It was a whole new fic.
Thanks for taking a chance on a style that usually doesn't resonate with you. I'm glad it did in this case. And thanks a lot for letting me know you enjoyed. Much appreciated. ***
This is... this is ghosts and revenants, haunting a mind that's only just barely aware of the straws he can't grasp at. This is gorgeous, the way you weave the mechanical instances of Tempe and her flashes of emotions, flashes of heart, with Seeley's drowning in heart and clinging to the flat, the mechanical, the unchanging.
This is gorgeous. I love how you love Seeley, here, even if he's not sure who that is.
This is fantastic, really fantastic. I love how the thoughts and memories sound so raw. I haven't read fanfic in ages, and none of Bones since getting into the fandom, but this is fabulous, thank you for giving me something beautiful to read at work. :)

I feel like I'm damning you with faint praise :)
