Oooh, lovely. There are not enough Lucy fics out there!

I totally agree. I still remember your Lucy & Drusilla fic fondly.

Whee! Yeah, I'm still very pleased with that one!

I did some Master/Lucy RP recently too with a magnificent Lucy and that was a hell of a lot of fun. :-)

Very deft. Oddly, the thing that strikes me most about this fic is the title. A short, sharp ficlet is always harder than it looks, but for some few, the title bounces off the fic itself and the whole becomes more than the sum of its parts. You've really managed that, here.

OK, now I just have to blush. Thank you so much. I'm really glad it worked the way I was hoping it would.

This gave me major goosebumps. Something about the repeated "couldn't see anything" and the matter-of-factness of it. It's all too plausible, really.

Heh, goosebumps FTW!

I have to admit I wanted to start with my strength, which in my case is that matter-of-factness approach I tend to think of as Deadpan Nasty. I find it a nice antidote to the usual in-your-face stuff that ultimately tends to make us more blase.

"Deadpan Nasty" is a fantastic term for it.

Oh dark...

Dark is good. Not something I want to go to bed soon after reading though as

The feel of Jack's skull giving way stayed with her for a long time.
will probably give me nightmares.

I can't help it, it is pretty much my favorite tone of fic to write.

Please, no nightmares on my account.

Wow. That's very, very creepy. Awesome. :)

I'm so glad it worked - thank you!
