Here on mithrigil's recommendation, and I'm glad I took it.

This prompt brings up all sorts of creepy images. Zombies are just one of the first things that come to mind. But I'm having some trouble thinking of a creepier image than Ashe, straddling Basch and moaning, and Basch staring back...behind her, at the jealous ghost of her former lover. O.O He's a better man than I, is Basch, for not jumping up and running away screaming right there. o_o;;

Creepiness aside, though, this was still a good fic. Basch's guilt just shines through here, and is given some good exploration with the interlude in the middle. And there were some great images as well, though I had trouble concentrating on the ones that came after...after that one. ><;

A very nice piece, if a vaguely horrifying one.

My fic was pimped! *blushes* XD

He's a masochist, I think. The man spends two years in a crow's cage and... yeaaaaah, he's good at taking the pain. He thinks he deserves it, and I imagine he has a massive guilt complex.

Rasler's death- the King's death- him in prison while Ashe is running around in danger- although I don't see him as being at fault for any of this, I'm sure he'd think he needs to atone. :/ Poor guy.

*grins* If it makes you feel better (although I'd think it's worse in a way), I envisioned Rasler as a figment of Basch's imagination, not a zombie. XD

*bows* Thanks!

That... was honestly a lot hotter than I thought it would be. And mildly creepy as well. However, I still think it was really good. It was a powerful image for so short a piece, I think.
