I hate to be redundant, but "lovely" really is the first word that jumped into my mind after reading this. You have a really nice grasp on the characters and I loved the use of mythology to parallel their romance. Just delightful :)

[joely_jo]

Thank you! Though I probably should be doing something more interesting with my time than reading about Greek mythology... :)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with reading dusty old mythology books. I read them too if given half a chance. =D

GAH. Love this. Love the parallels to Cupid and Psyche because they totally work.

[joely_jo]

Ah... then I'm not alone. Marvellous news! I'm glad you enjoyed the read! :)

Psyche had had to fight for Cupid and show him her love despite the challenges that were thrown at her. Just love that line.

That was so lovely and great.

I always liked the myth of cupid and psyche and now with the parallels between Remus and Tonks you pointed out I love it even more.

[joely_jo]

Thank you! I, too, have always liked that myth, not to mention the fact that all the paintings are of a lovely naked man... ;) Glad you enjoyed the read! :)

What a romantic story! I liked the parallels you drew between Cupid and Psyche, and Remus and Tonks

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed my excursion into history geekiness! :)

I'm such a Classics geek, so I had double reason to enjoy this story. It really was just lovely. And I think you write the most emotional, heart-wrenching R/T sex scenes that I've ever read!

[joely_jo]

Thank you! I'm pleased you think I write sex scenes well - getting the tone right for that has bugged me for years, because I'm of the belief that less is more. Though sometimes it seems as if I'm in the minority for thinking that way! So, glad you enjoyed it! :)
