I am given to understand that it's poor commenting form simply to quote the whole piece back to the author, but that's always what I feel like doing with your writing. Here, just a few of my favorite lines:

But he'd yearned, sitting earthbound at the keys; he'd ached for those shooting-star notes to pierce his everyday skin.

World without end, amen. It all makes sense now, he tried to say.

There was something he should remember beyond this enormous four-poster bed; something perhaps as inconsequential as four walls and a window, perhaps as great as a world with a vacated space awaiting his return.

“You always did love shiny things,” he said fondly, then frowned in puzzlement when no memory offered itself.

I just love the way you draw their relationship here - dark and kind of creepy but so deep, so inevitable, that it's impossible not to want them to be together anyway.

Wonderful stuff, as always.

Part disturbing, part darkly lovely. I can't really come up with a better word for this than seamless; the story feels like a natural extension of the atmosphere, and the utter lack of answers, instead of coming across confusing, instead lends the whole thing an air of inevitability - like an explanation would be irrelevant, like the eeriness that draws them together is at once inextricable from and secondary to the sensual present.

Je Retournerai. I love it.

I'm... not even sure what to say to these two stories. I mean I loved them, but they are awesomely unsettling too. In a good way. I think.

Thank you bb. This is exactly the kind of feedback I crave: "Your writing made me feel such-and-such," even if the feeling wasn't a pleasant one. <3

Wow. That was fascinating and compelling and spooky oh and so so delicious. You created an enchanting atmosphere. Poor Katy. Come into my parlour said the spider to the fly. I loved the all powerful, all consuming Adam.

Yay, this is just the effect I was hoping for! And getting someone to say "poor Katy" ranks up there with my proudest accomplishments. ;)
