Sometimes you're at your most poetic genius when you're at your briefest. That was just awesome. *fans self*

Ow, ow. Is it a compliment if I say it made me want to beat Magneto round the head with something wood or plastic?

[speak_me_fair]

The highest compliment of all! Thank you!

HOW DID YOU INCORPORATE MAGNETO AND MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS FOLK SONG WITHOUT SOUNDING RIDICULOUS? HOW? Also that last line made my stomach drop. THIS HAS EVERYTHING! All the unhappy endings and dark!Charles and sucky Erik and weird imagery...*Hugs you* My faerie is so smaarrrttt and lovely. : )

Brilliant, lovely lady!

And I am so thrilled you liked this, unhappy as it is :-) :-)

Okay, this? This imagery is perfection.

Wonderful, wonderful all the way through. *s*

Heeeeee, thank you! Oh the bliss of being able to use metal creations/objects as a metaphor for everything!

*hugs you delightedly*
