dgshdhs, I am so so so glad you like this. ♥ I just - I pretty much just recently realized that Siken fic needs to be a constant for all of my fandoms. All of them. It is, like, a genre unto itself now. *nods*

Liam and his fires. I couldn't resist, not even a little bit. And oh my god, fairy tales might actually become a Thing for my Harry? Like, every time I write him now I will probably have to make a fairy tale reference or two or three or a thousand. It's how his brain works. AND GOD ZAYN!FEELS IN PLACES THERE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ZAYN!FEELS, I FEEL SO PERSONALLY VICTIMIZED BY YOUR FACE ZAYN MALIK, GOSH.

(I will definitely do that, yes, dgfsgsh! ♥)

Back to comment fully on how much I love this. Because I love this. how funny is it that I can't figure out how to do italics and stuff like this on the computer but the app has it all nicely right there.

Anywhoo. I adore this. And I feel like I have to go back now and find your last Siken fic because I haven't read it for some probably insane reason.

All of this is just perfection. From the beginning to Liam wanting to start a quiet fire to the whole rest of everything. Forever. Ugh if you write a Liam/Zayn version I will probably die a little of happiness.

I just want to glom all over you forever.

Oh my God... where has this writing been, why has it not been in my life before now?? What is this amazing, beautiful nonsense?

Ugh, I can't get over how amazing this is, just so artistic, poetry in story form. Oh man, the bit about the fire nearly had me in tears, just... I'm blown away. Your talents?! Why can't I be this good, just wow. It wasn't long, but damn, so fucking powerful.

I love second when it's written well, and by God, this is written fucking perfect. I just want to copy and paste it all, so you know which parts were the best, which got to me, but seriously all of it did. It's so amazing... ugh, I'll be sitting on this one for days, seriously.

This is so good, I can't think of better words. I want to write things like this, this beautiful, sad portrait, that's so raw and real and just eats away until that final line when I'm allowed to breathe again. This was wonderful, simply wonderful.

Sorry for my babbles, haha.

I can't even state why, but this line got me.

You all want to start a fire, and the walls are already beginning to burn.

Oh gosh, what a comment to be welcomed to the fandom with. ♥ Thank you so much! To be honest I can't take credit for all the beautiful phrasing in here - I don't know if you're familiar with Richard Siken, but I've pretty much exhausted his entire body of work adapting it into story form, haha. He's an absolute genius, I swear to god. And the parts about starting a fire, that idea is definitely credit of folkloric_feel and her brilliant mind.

... Or I could just be deflecting your compliment, which I tend to do, but dgabds I am not good at taking compliments okay. /rolls around

Anyway. Pardon my insane rambling! Thank you very much for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed it. (And that was one my very favorite lines to write. *g*) ♥

[badjujuboo]

that last line is absolutely stunning. The whole piece was so filled with beautiful prose and words that just PULLED at all we think we know and hope and.. wow, i'm blown away actually!

[lyricsandhearts]

Wow, thank you so much! You don't know how pleased I am that you enjoyed reading this. Thank you. ♥

[drivetothestars]

oh my goodness, your words read like poetry. this is perfection.

Thank you for the compliment, I'm so glad you liked it. ♥
