I'm trying to recompose my brain from fangirl mush. I. Love. You. This was so awesome I'm still in awe over all the bits and pieces and details.

Home. Atrax. Niko. Memories haunting and that mantra, that mantra. Both of them were so deep and layered and nuanced in this piece. And so capable and awesome and you got Nicole Fury in there enough for me to feel her being awesomely Fury and I love this so much I could hug it and run away into the sunset with it. Love, love, love, love, love.

Awwww, look at you going and making me blush. I'm so glad you liked it! This was such an eye-opener to write, and so much fun at the same time.

I'm so glad the mantra rang so true. It was inspired by a comic quote, and just grew from there, and God did I bleed for Collie there. Argh.

And I don't know about Natasha, but I don't think the Red Room will ever quite let Niko go, no matter what.

In short, d'aaaaaaaaaaaaaw, and thank you!

I think that got me the most: the intense imprinting you can see in Niko. It doesn't really surprise me in a way; women really do have a lot of advantages biologically for getting over stuff, especially hurt. He's just so broken in an entirely unbreakable way and the way he defines home... Wow. Just wow.

And Collie. Just a girl with a bow. That whole series was deep-achingly beautiful and painful and sucked me in so deep it was like I was in her head and feeling it with her, then Niko snaps her out of it like she did for him and knowing like she knows him.

I love these two so much, their dynamic, regardless of how it bleeds out. But you take it and just make it so amazing, I don't have words big enough to say how hard this piece hits me where I feel it.

Yeah.

Oh, wow. Hun, I am beyond honoured here. This is humbling and smile-inducing. You see so much here, and I love it.

Niko is this fusebox wired all wrong, and even though there are people who have tried to help him get the wires straight, but it will never be entirely right no matter how close it gets. Plus, this is electricity. Never a good thing to play with.

And in my mind, God. Collie. This has been drilled in to her so hard. She's so held by this understanding of how she functions that it's that scar. It's in her breath. It's in every. Single. Arrow.

Again, I need to make sure you know how honoured I am by this. Thank you so, so much.

*hugs*
