asjalda; this is all kinds of gorgeous. I love how you draw out the metaphor and play with both their demons.

thank you muchly!

also. would it be terrible if this inspired me to write something in which they try to work this thing out but really, really badly? i can't decide if it's taking place in the same 'verse as this but it just might be. i'm kind of a huge angstwhore and have the biggest softspots ever for breakup fic so it kind of got carried away in my head.

idk. anyway, thought i should let you know. please tell me to stop if you want.

Oh my word, I'm all lower-lip-wobbly and shiny-eyed. This was heartbreaking to read and beautifully constructed. Excellent job at carrying a theme through and showing the slow, sad spiral to the end. I'm a happy ending lover though, so I shall continue to hold out hope that eventually they will reach a place when they can go back and be. *sticks fingers in ears and refuses to hear otherwise* Loved this-- gorgeous writing, bb.

I think I'll join you in that hope!

Thank you very much!

This is just...it's beautiful. You use the perfect words, the perfect metaphors, the perfect kind of heartbreak that just makes everything fit together in this organized mess of tears and hurting. The theme is perfect because words are a powerful thing and I feel that they're a very extreme and intense couple beneath everything. Its their demons that make them work, but's also what tears them apart.

It's all sorts of perfect and beautiful. ♥

oh gosh, thank you so much!
