OMFG!!!!! That was an unbelievable update! You’ve left me in awe again!!!

Ok, let’s start the detailed squee, lol. The D/K morning scene is so tender and I heart it so much! I loved how Kahlan lies to Dahlia “Do you think one day I’ll escape her?” “One day.” and hides her eyes. K is slightly insane pet but she is a realist nevertheless.
"No, she doesn't. You would be a skeleton if she did."
So true! Cara doesn’t hate Kahlan anymore, she hates that Dahlia loves Kahlan and she only wants to understand why her Dahlia loves such a worthless pet.

OMG, you’ve incorporated YOUR nightmare! And did it so gracefully! <3! You turned it to a love-dream, genius ( ... )

OMG Thanx :D!!! *sigh of relief* I know it was extremely intense and I dug extremely deep for each of them...so they better appreciate it lol. I gotta admit that I do feel kinda proud of this chapter partially because I shocked myself with some parts and revelations of it.

D/K are beautiful to me. They’re complicated in a rebellious and honest way and even I don’t fully understand them as much as I’d like to. They just do their own thing. Although I think Dahlia likes having this intense power and control over Kahlan (one that Cara can‘t match), she really does have fluffy feelings for her.

LOL you remembered my nightmare!! It was so vivid, I just knew I had to include it somewhere. I liked seeing Dahlia ultra vulnerable with Kahlan. I’m sure she used to be that way with Cara and misses it

Denna’s neck moment- UNF! I can understand Snake here, lol. I mean, really the girl has such a sexy neck!!!! Wtf. It is absolutely criminal to be that beautiful :P

Wow, how she snaked through the Denna’s childhood memories and twisted ( ... )

Yep, D/K are beautiful! Dahlia is areal Mistress, she cares and loves her pet and she controls her 100%. Where Cara is kinda lousy and she doesn't care much and for her a life or death of a pet means nothing at all.

Of course I remember your nightmare! I always tend to dislike a vivid dreams, lol, for me they are sign of some inner trouble with falling addition it made me worried then. Still, you masterfully incorporated it into the fic! Also, I like an idea that Dahlia misses being vulnerable with Cara. I'm sure if she would dream it several years ago it would have been Snake on Cara's place and Cara-on Kahlan's.

Wtf. It is absolutely criminal to be that beautiful :P LOL! so true ( ... )

:D I think you're so right about the difference between Cara and Dahlia as Mistresses. I was just thinking maybe Cara doesn't want any other "pet" besides Dahlia loving her and that's why she doesn't love them either. idk?
I'll give it some more thought and probably touch upon in the next part

I'm sure if she would dream it several years ago it would have been Snake on Cara's place and Cara-on Kahlan's I think so too. I think Dahlia probably knows that too...and still, it's so sad how things can evolve like that. At least Cara can admit that some things have changed

I mean, she has that body filled with blood and became a breathing, scorching living creature! Wow this is such an intense compliment, I love it alot :D She was so eager to come forward and take control like that. Like whoa. I really relate to how you're seeing Denna and it's so similiar to how I feel about her too.

You really are one of the sickest bears ever, lol! *bows* thank u, thank u XD

ASDF;LJK! You did it! Cara killed Dahlia! I don’t believe it, I am shocked… I thought C might beat up D bad for denying her but to get to that point! Fucking Othello! I totally liked her desperation afterwards and how she couldn’t conjure a BoL <3 That was a powerful image, baby!

Lucky for us handy ConDar Kahlan was there, a big specialist in love area! Cara’s memory run was just a hearbreaking! Each only in one sentence but I could see all of them clearly. Awesome job, Lexa!

And like an old fluff I couldn’t hold my tears back and cried a little or a lot with Cara :)
"I used to think that pain was mostly weakness leaving the body," Cara said, looking away, focused on a crack in the floor. "But there is nothing," she continued, swiping once more at her eyelid, "like the pain of your hatred." Here.

Dahlia looked at her, blinked carelessly a few times before she really saw anything concrete within Cara. There was truth there, and contended turmoil. There was a sense of not knowing how far she had drifted, or how long. There was so ( ... )

It was so hard for me to see Dahlia die omg. But Cara needs to realize that she’s not immortal despite her BoL abilities

Lucky for us handy ConDar Kahlan was there, a big specialist in love area! ROFL!!! Oh totally. XD!

And like an old fluff I couldn’t hold my tears back and cried a little or a lot with Cara Awwwww I love it so much *bearhugs* There's nothing like beginning of Cara’s feelings either. At first, she wanted to be evil to Dahlia for dying but no, she realized a few things...btw I used some of my own experiences and so it was very emotional to go there but see I do want my Cara to be happy ;)

I’m a sentimental fool, you know <3!!! I know, I love you for it. I like when you talk like Callisto too lol. And D’Haran anger management XD! I’m sure it’s a class Professor Rich would feel entitled to teach too

It was so hard for me to see Dahlia die omg. But Cara needs to realize that she’s not immortal despite her BoL abilities Agree. I think only that realization could move a little bit Cara's stone-cold heart! Only when she broke to her childhood memories and felt like a powerless child again she could reach to her core nature.

I love when Cara has feelings! And the scene really IS very emotional. I loved every bit of it! I'm happy that they have this amazing BoL! They can correct so many mistakes! Especially with their temper and brutality! But still Cara is a number one idiot in my book. I forgive her for old her and for Dahlia who loves her. But I always want magically restrain her, immobilize like for a month and just let her to listen, not to act, idk.

I like when you talk like Callisto too lol. Hahaha! I know! I have a very bad memory but I realized that I already remember some catchy phrases from "Xena"! You've noticed, lol ( ... )

I think only that realization could move a little bit Cara's stone-cold heart! Yeah, my thoughts exactly...I had wished there was another way but there really wasn't

I'm happy that they have this amazing BoL! They can correct so many mistakes! Especially with their temper and brutality! That's so true!! I really like that observation and I'm definitely gonna have to explore that too...wow, good one

Oh Cara can be a total idiot. She drives me crazy how much she can take for granted but now she's beginning to understand that there are always consequences at some point

lol Callisto. I hang onto her every word, of course.

Denna with a short hair sitting before a giant mirror!!!<3! Everyone has a button to push on, right? That fucking bitch Snake knows all her trainees buttons! Poor baby Denna! That child talk made me so wanting to hug her and tell her not to listen to Snake’s venomous speech.

Although that I could believe and Denna knew it for sure! Denna saw what she often knew her pets found visible within her. The ownership, the lust, the knowledge that a Mistress never threatened anything that she wasn‘t immediately prepared to see through until the end.Very heart chilling scene, sex still was hot though, lol! Very interesting dynamics between Denna and Snake. And our fave girls Dahlia and Cara. They are her products in all the ways. But something Snake doesn’t understand. She thinks that she knows all about them and can manipulate them I don’t think so. She knows their fear and weakness buttons and she can threaten them but she doesn’t comprehend love and humanly selfless not everything is about a sisterhood and their codex. There are some ( ... )

I really had to think a lot about Denna and where her most guarded weaknesses lie. What else could be taken from her? She has a thirst for pain so it had to go beyond that. Just when she’s sure she has nothing left to lose...I would be such a horrible Mistress, right?! Omg! I scared myself a little as I got to know Denna better.

She knows their fear and weakness buttons and she can threaten them but she doesn’t comprehend love and humanly selfless not everything is about a sisterhood and their codex. There are some other things she forgot that exist. Exactly XD Cara definitely has some of Snake‘s qualities. Nature vs. Nuture at it’s finest. But yeah, Snake was their Mistress, and she feels she bent them to her will. You’re so right, what a lonely feeling for Denna...knowing that she could‘ve possibly been in Dahlia’s place for Cara’s favor if Snake had truly wanted or felt she "deserved" that. It’s something to think about it and I think those kind of things torture Denna the most ( ... )

Yeah, little bear, you scare me sometime, lol, not really :P
But you could've been a perfect Mistress cunning, noticing even little details, strong, stubborn and fearless kinda like Mistress Dahlia. Not like lousy Mistress Cara who doesn't care about her pets or Sisters or the Master or even herself. She kinda exists at the moment. ok I went east.

Let's talk Denna/Snake. Sorry back to Cara Cara definitely has some of Snake‘s qualities. Nature vs. Nuture at it’s finest. I just loved it ( ... )
