Wow, I really don't know what to say here. The whole concept of this is so wild (in a good way). I would have never thought to transpose this into a noir setting but at the same time, it adds wholly different (and interesting) layers to the story (and the verse). I really enjoyed that and I really liked the way you took the different stories from the universe and twined them together into a single tale; I didn't expect it and at the same time, it makes a lot of sense to interweave them this way. Thank you so much!

Also, this line: "Don't," he said, the please hidden in the folds of his tongue.
Perfection. Just...so beautiful and perfect.

Thank you!

If you ask Mona and Allie, they'll let you know I was running around like a headless chicken over this fic, and I am so glad you liked it. Books of the Living, Books of the Dead is one of those neat, lovely packages I didn't want to damage because it was so perfect the way it was. Drawing out the whole universe and transposing was oddly, a compromise, because it made the remix so clearly different that I felt comfortable stretching my wings a little with it. And I'm tickled that you chose the term "transpose," because that nails the way I framed the process in my head. (I mean, even outside of the obvious musical parallel in the challenge itself.) A little step and jive and Satie. This was writing it back in a minor key, changing up some of the rhythms, while keeping the basic movements, a couple codas in there to throw things off, but always, always returning to that first motif. Gah, this has become embarrassing rambling. But, basically, adored your original, and glad that this worked at least a little in recapturing it. :)

Wow. Noir really does make everything better. You took an already amazing verse of stories and made the mood and tone completely different. Terrific job.

This was great. I was quite unsure at first - Jess took a bit of getting used to, as she's so different from my own personal image of her - but you really drew me in. Fantastic use of the original stories, and of canon. The pain was palpable.

Great fic! Thanks!

Ah, it was well worth it. It was just one of those funny moments, when you realise how much personal canon you have built up, you know? But the fic was joy :D

It took a little while for me to fully grasp that this was in an noir setting, but once I did . . . wow! Even knowing what was coming, Gunn still makes me cry, and I never want Jess to leave.

Thank you! Those were the exact feelings I had with the originals, so glad they got you there.
