I liked this when I read it through the first time and now I'll say it again publicly! \o/

She crumples, a heap of huddled, shivering something - something that was once a human woman. Now lacking resistance, shape, or character without the rack to hold her.

I love this line, how it highlights the way Bela's been methodically broken down in Hell. And even though she's still clinging to the form of her old human body, she's ready to be remade.

The possession scene is just awesome, I'm really intrigued how you describe it. And the ending gave me chills!

Thanks again for the read through. I was unaccountably nervous about this one and you definitely assuaged some of my fears.

And the ending gave me chills!

You have no idea how happy that makes me. ;)

Oh.my god this is amazing. I love your writing style and the subtleness of the Meg/Bela. I love your Hell and your details. Thank-you so much!

[schmevil]

Aw, I'm so glad you liked it! \o/

Oh wow, I really love this! Your Bela and Meg are fantastic, and your descriptions of hell, the demons and possession are fantastic! :D

[schmevil]

Thank you! :)

Oh, glorious. Absolutely beautifully chillingly glorious. What hit me most is the colours you paint this with: greys and reds, and finally black in their eyes. Great, vivid descriptions.

I also love the style of your hell, and the relationship Meg and Bela forge there. Mm. And that last line is just lovely, open ended and yet bringing everything together really nicely.

Oh, thank you! I'm glad to hear that the imagery and descriptive passages worked.

I love that you've explored Bela's 'after' and while I never would have thought of it, pairing her with Meg is brilliant. The characterization for the latter is particularly strong. Great imagery for hell as well and description of Bela's transformation.

I have to admit that finding a balance between the Bela we know, and the person she'd have to become to survive hell was hard. I'm not sure if I included enough show!Bela. Thanks for the feedback!
