Oh, man, that was one serious miscalculation by Candice. Letting Peter-as-Nathan face her-as-Peter? Bad idea!

Love the fic, as usual. You've got the Petrellis pitch-perfect, of course, and Candice as well. "Just let it go, Pete"--yes, that's a Nathan line.

Candice overreached herself, to be sure. I'm somewhat worried about myself...

Oh, wow. This entire thing is fantastic but the ending really blew me away. Awesome job!

[selenak]

Thank you!

So brilliant and really kinda creepy! Great!

[selenak]

Creepy and twisted was the intention. Thanks for the feedback!

Which address did you use?

[selenak]

Then for some reason the email never arrived. Sorry!

An unexpected bit of humor that provided just the right amount of relief in a dark piece--because of course, a politician who acts the way Peter thinks he should act would never make it in Congress. *snerk*

I'm afraid so.*g*

Speaking of details, thank you for the feedback! And yes, the train set is from episode 7.

This is just brilliant. Twisted and creepy and just right for Candice and Peter. I love how the moment when Peter's eye get their spark back it is a danger signal, not a sign of recovery.

The Petrellis+illusions=no end of manipulative mind games. Candice would fit in brilliantly, if only she understood the depths of their dysfunction, instead of (as you have her doing) rolling her eyes at them.

And I adore that the best threat to keep Candice in line isn't violence, it's calling her mother on her. Of course, Peter can relate to that. :)

She gets that Angela is scary and Peter has lost it, but she has no idea how deeply that goes, or how ingrained it is. I figured that after a few years of using her gift, she, as Eden, would start to get a little hubristic with it.
