"Don't ever say that again. Cordy used to have a chart in the files," Angel said, turning to Nina. "It's kind of complicated."
"You mean the Master?" Nina said. "Or your Sire, who you staked, and came back to life? And got sired again by Drusilla--who you sired, and who sired Spike--and as a vampire wreaked havoc for a while until you burned her up, then disappeared for a while, but then came back to L.A. only to die again under mysterious circumstances no one knows about? Or was there something else?"
I can't even come up with a coherent comment, I'm just whimpering with love over this story. The pathos, the humour, the voices, arrghh, it just so...THIS, THIS is why I got into fandom and fanfiction. This is just so very, very perfect.
You bring to life characters I haven't seen that much in fic before because of the limitations my prefered pairing of choice brings - so to see Illyria, Gwen and Nina written as fully functional characters is just a wonderful thing to enjoy. Can't even tell you how much I've enjoyed this, except with grovelling thanks that will just embaress both of us. :D
I think almost all of us in fandom fall into the trap of being so focused on our characters or ship of choice that we forget how much a part of each other some of these characters are.
I know I said it already, but I'm *so* glad you're enjoying this.
I love this story. If I try to pick out specific parts I'll be quoting the whole thing, so I won't, but, wow. It physically hurts to read (which is a good thing, really).
Yay! Well, not for you being physically hurt. Okay, possibly a little yay about that, too. This is so fun to write. Thanks so much for letting me know you like it.
