Fic: Dawn (Scathach, Brighid, Cu Chulainn; PG)

...I'm halfway done with first drafts for challenge stories, so I let myself take a break for this. Imbolc is either today or tomorrow, depending on how one celebrates, and it's one of my favorite holidays. I think I also managed not to screw up the diacritics this time.

Yes. Such yes. All the good details and the almost-comfortable familiar respect she has for Brighid and the way he might be confident to the point of arrogance with everyone else but he still asks confirmation of her and -- yes.

Really, Brighid showed up and I got chills at how you describe Her. ♥

Thank you. ♥

I went back and forth on this one because of Brighid, because I'm never sure about putting deities in stories -- I'm always afraid I'm not doing them justice, especially the ones I feel especially drawn to, like Brighid. So I'm delighted that my portrayal expressed Her well to you.

♥ ! Thank you, that's a very flattering question. :D

I've been thinking of being a professional fiction writer for many years -- there are some skills I really need to develop first, though, like the ability to plot. ;) Most of the stuff I have written, traditionally, has been very character-oriented, establishing a mood and showcasing a few character traits and then leaving it at that. But someday -- !

I love Brighid's appearance. Huzzah for patron goddesses. ♥

Merry Imbolc!

This is wonderful! I admire your ability to write in this style, without overdone flowery prose.
