Holy shit, this SCARED THE FUCK OUT OF ME. The building suspense, the nightmares, the room full of MIRRORS--GAH. Terrifying, and very nicely done.

"But why would the city have a room to generate bad dreams?" Rodney shook his head. "The Ancients had some plans that were not at all well-constructed."

But that's just funny. ::g::

Hee -- sorry to scare the fuck out of you. But I guess that means I met my goals. Thanks for the feedback!

Wow. Creepy, but with a beautiful ending. The best kind of angst.

[lilac_way]

Thank you!

I loved it, scary, angsty, and it had Rodney saving John. Awesome story.

[lilac_way]

I'm a sucker for Rodney getting to save John and be competent. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you! I'm glad you thought the hot parts were properly hot. I spend so much time revising them I can never tell anymore.
