That was really lovely. And very much in the voices that Nix gave them. And Ellimere intrigue! Love it. I am assuming that the (for now) at the end is an indication that there might be more to come? You should totally write the 4th in the trilogy!
I think the next thing on my to do list is re-read these books. You've got me hooked again. Have you considered going into publishing/PR?! Although perhaps you are already and this is your cunning way of marketing.
Thank you! I'm definitely going to write more Old Kingdom stories. Re-reading the books reminded me how wonderful the series is (not that I really needed to be reminded) and how sorry I was to say goodbye to the characters......

*laugh* No, I assure you I have no personal stake in any of the things I talk about except that it's more fun when other people like them, too. For so many things, particularly with Offline Friends, even if they like something, it's rarely to the same degree as me. I'm afraid I'm kind of stuck in a weird no-man's land. With Offline People, I usually come across as more obsessive/rabid/knowledgable about certain books/movies/songs, but compared to a lot of online people, I know nothing.
An example is BSG, Veronica Mars, Tolkien etc. Compared to Offline People I know heaps, compared to many Online People, I'm merely a pretender :P
OK now I'm babbling. Going, going, goneGlad you

that was YAY! hehe i can't help but squeal like a fangirl over your fic :D i've actually read a few nix fics when i first read the books but this is the best one by far out of all the ones i've read ^_^ it makes me giddy with happiness and yay! i refuse to say that there was nothing between lirael and nick because the dog sent him back for a reason and i'm sure one of them is to be with lirael... friendly or otherwise but i'd like to think of the latter :P
*huggles fic and huggles koala* this pingwing is tap dancing with joy ^O^
Dearest of darksilvermoons, your ship is definitely supported by canon .... :) When the Dog is talking about wounds to be healed, she is certainly referring to the fact that only Nick can help Lirael heal and Lirael is definitely awkward at the end of Creature in the Case because she has Feelings .....
*hugs you back* I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. I was feeling a bit bad about it last night and worried that you might not like it, but I feel much better now ... :) I'm open to corrections though so I'm happy to tweak it.
I'm glad to see more fic in the fandom! We are ever so small a group of fangirls. Have you considered signing up for fanfic100? Not many characters/pairings are claimed at all, and it's a definite help if you want to write more fics in the same fandom.
But this was an enjoyable read, and I can't wait to see more. Oh, and if you ever need a beta, I'd be glad to help! :)
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed writing this story and wanted to write another. It hasn't hopped into my head yet unfortunately. I love your icon by the way!!!
Random person you don't know at all stopping in months later to tell you that I love this :P It's really hard to find good Old Kingdom fanfic, and even harder to find good Nick/Lirael stuff, because people are silly and don't like Nick. You really captured all the canon hints and expanded on them in a completely believable way. A+!
Of course I enjoyed it. It helps that I'm a complete sucker for Nick- he's somehow been my favorite character since book 2, despite the whole "being controlled by a peice of metal" thing. But most people who DO write Nick/Lirael don't pick up on why the pairing works, they just seem to...randomly get married.
Also, you've completely sold me on Ellimere/Tindall. Awesome minor characters unite? *runs off to read fic*
I have no idea why I never saw this comment from you before. *sigh* Thank you for reading the fic and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wish there was more in the Old Kingdom series!
