Oh, that's sad. I hope it does get better for them both.

Vila chased sleep, but couldn't find it

Nice image. And "Oh, yeah? Name once." is just perfect.

Thank you. :) I do think it gets better for them after this. I meant to show that more clearly, but I seem to have rushed the ending a bit; it's a bad habit of mine, sorry.

Ohhh, sad but not totally tragic.

I do think they were the two who most deserved to get out...

[mistraltoes]

Thanks. :) I enjoy writing Vila and Soolin together; there's a very satisfying contrast to their personalities.

[vilakins]

I like them together too, for the contrast and the points of commonality (esp in their childhoods) and I pair them in my big PGP.

I must finish part 2 of that regardless of the voting. :-P

[mistraltoes]

Yes, you must! :)

Oh, that's lovely! So melancholy, bittersweet -- which is of course very B7; the only sweetness in this universe is the bittersweet kind.

"The last time I was here," she murmured, "I was alone."

Yes!

[mistraltoes]

Thanks very much, glad you approve. :)

Lovely. I could have sworn I'd commented on this already, but obviously not.

*sniff*. That's really nice.

they hadn't even gone through the formality of perfunctory leers and terse warnings before wrapping themselves around each other for the added warmth
My favourite line, perfectly in character.

[mistraltoes]

Thank you. :)
