I loved this. Utterly loved it. Beautiful. As always, so visual.

You write dynamics. That's good - that's brilliant (and you write them well, or I wouldn't even bother) - this is great. It's 3am, my sentences gain an odd coherency that they'll lack entirely in the daylight, but for now, well, you write in shadows and flickers of light, and I like that. I get bored with plots these days, frankly; especially in fanfiction, where the best plot you can make with these particular people has, usually, been made in the canon itself. (Sometimes, this is sadly not the case. But I think I can argue that most of the fandoms I tend to revolve around are of good enough quality for this to be true.) What makes, I think, for good fanwork, is finding and drawing stronger meanings from the characters, or different meanings, or variations on the theme, or - different hues of a character. Or putting two colors next to each other. And then shining a light through and looking at the shadows on the wall, that's the kind of writing that I like to read, and that's why I like reading your stuff, and why I read them again

[eegatland]

heh. you're welcome. I need a better disguise. I'm just another Mordred fangirl at heart.

oh... I've read it again at one o'clock in the morning, and it's even better than I realized at first. so crystalline and spare--essence, quintessence. What kaliscoo said.

I will stop gibbering and go to sleep now.
