YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS.

Oh! I have to go switch to your icon!

Tell me. Hold my hand, blissy. I felt so fucking guilty ... I mean, guiltier than I ever felt with my porn. Is it plausible? Did I do them justice? I wanted there to be hope, not wrist-slitting sadness. Guilty. Did I mention guilty?

blissy83 March 19 2010, 05:47:10 UTC

Oh noes!!! That icon does not go with this post!!, look at Eric, he's totally ogling Carsten's panties ;D

The writing IS AMAZING, I love the direction you took, the glamouring felt so wrong and it would have been like a shadow on their relationship. The way it was approached gives a liberating feeling.

I was impressed with the way you got into Carsten's head, when he realized he'd been glamoured. The ransom thing was pure genius and it made me feel truly bad for Eric, who had tried so hard to take care of Carsten and ease his pains, you can almost touch Eric's guilt, it feels real.

Eric considered talking to Carsten's parents? he really adores him, and he is so lost here that I want to hug him.

Aww yay! Such a sweet, hopeful ending to this terrible and sad (read: awesome) plotline!

This was such a pleasant surprise to dig up out of my Read It Later list!

This is just excellent. I'm glad you decided to post it, even though I know you feel totally guilt-ridden. But seriously, this is such a well-written, balanced ending. I love that Eric, just for a moment, isn't completely composed and in control, and I am so happy that you closed it with that touch of hope.

Hey, there. I'm back from the dead ... although not enough to have posted any new fic. :) But the fact that Season 3 is just around the corner gives me hope.

Glad to have you back! I'm hoping the comms experience a general revival with season 3. I absolutely need more fic from you. But no pressure ;)

.... sigh. WHERE is my muse? (drums fingers, looks under couch cushions.)

Hi - just dropping in to say I've been reading your work for a while and really enjoying it.
I thought this was a good ending to this particular story, It's sad as you say, but I think it would leave a nastier taste in the mouth somehow if Carsten was just glamoured and never knew the truth. At least by insisting on getting to the truth he has regained some autonomy. I can understand about the guilt to some degree, but on the other hand, it's not as though you trivialise or minimise the impact of rape here or dehumanise Carsten as a victim.
Anyway - just wanted to express my appreciation!

Thanks for commenting -- I feel bad that I never responded to this last group of comments on my last fic, considering how nice and thoughtful it is of people to comment in the first place. Almost three months later, I feel a bit less guilty about this fic. I'm hoping to get inspired by Season 3 to write something new.

I don't even know where to begin----this was incredible! Loved it more than I can begin to elaborate upon. What the two of them both went through....it was utterly heart rending. I don't think you could have ended it any better for the two of them than you did with the story as it had evolved. Sad--yes, hope felt---most defenitely. Brilliant writing!

septemberoses June 6 2010, 00:48:44 UTC

Hey, thanks for commenting. I just realized, nosing around on here, that I somehow failed to respond to this last batch of comments. I think I sent myself into a minor depression with this fic! I hope we get some more Godric in Season 3...

confused_bliss June 6 2010, 01:00:37 UTC

I could not agree more----even if it's only flashbacks we need alot more Godric!

eleni81 March 19 2010, 22:53:29 UTC

Sad, very sad but at least the end doesn't leave you with a bitter feeling!
I was afraid Carsten would break it off with Eric completely! Now, I can see a future between them. It will take time of course, but Carsten sees the love in Eric's actions and he will get back to what they had, slowly...

Amazing as always honey!

septemberoses June 6 2010, 00:49:50 UTC

Thanks for the feedback, and apologies, I can't believe I left these comments this long without responding. I'm hoping Season 3 will provide some writing inspiration! I would really love to do some new fic.

eleni81 June 6 2010, 12:19:00 UTC

I was actually thinking about you last night, trying to remember when was the last time I've read something new from you.

How are you hon? Everything ok? I can't wait to see how you are going to use season 3 *jumps up an down*

Hugs you
Helen

septemberoses June 12 2010, 00:02:34 UTC

Everything's fine! I think I kicked my own ass with my last two really long, depressing stories :) And the comms got super quiet, so I know it wasn't just me... here's hoping for some new love in Season 3! I'm sad that (as far as I know) Godric's only in Episode 2... I can dream though.
