You wrote that so convincingly--Fred literally pulling herself together inside Illyria, slowly regaining consciousness and, finally, control. You did a beautiful job of bringing the two voices--Fred's and Illyria's--together. Amazing work.

Thank you! Your feedback always means a lot to me, because it's not just another "that wuz kewl!11!!" comment. Ever since Illyria appeared I never stopped hoping for Fred's return, and with that request being assigned to me for the ficathon I jumped at the chance. I'm glad that my take of how it could happen worked so well for you. :) Thanks again.

That was beautiful and amazing. Far better than I could have ever expected. The wording was lovely and rhythmical, such beautiful imagery depicting the inner workings of Illyria's mind. The ties to canon made it hit home so much harder, and I love the way you linked the two together, slowly merging, right up until the end when they finally do so willingly and completely. Very awesome. I'm more thrilled than you can imagine to get this level of depth and detail from a ficathon story request! Thank you so much!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it -- I really enjoyed writing it. I hadn't written any fic in nearly a year when I started this, and I loved imagining Illyria's mind and voice, and thinking of a way Fred could return. I'm happy you're thrilled! I certainly didn't expect to go so in-depth, either, but I'm quite glad I did. :) Thank you!

I like it, as I said in the Illyria forum. I would also love for a way for Fred to return, and the same for a certain two other characters who died during Season 5.

I've written an Angel - based fic on my journal. I'd love to see some feedback (and I'm going to look for another Angel-based forum to join).
