Damn you. You made me cry. A lot. I guess it's still a little raw here, less than a week out. I would have thought Dr. Manhattan was the way he'd go, but you've made me believe it this way.

Damn you.

[beer_good_foamy]

Sorry about that. *hugs* But thanks. I could see him as Dr Manhattan, though I'm not sure... as I recall, he didn't exactly die with serene dignity, he was trapped and had no place to run. I've seen a lot of people online complain that Topher probably could have run (especially if he'd built in a longer "fuse"), so the question becomes: why didn't he even try?

Man, that was a pretty good finale. If very sad.

Excuse me, while I tear up for a moment.

Of course Topher would think of LOTR.

Of course you make this work beautifully.

Thanks a lot! *hanky*

[ladycallie]

Damn, you nailed that one. Bravo!

[beer_good_foamy]

Thank you!

[moscow_watcher]

You so nailed it. I cried when I watched Epitaph Two, and now I cry again, reading your fic.

Oh, Topher...

[beer_good_foamy]

Thanks! *hanky* His entire s2 arc really was one of the best things about Dollhouse, and that ending... *sniff*

Awwhhhhh

Can I add this to the Strangely Literal list of stuff we love of yours and read it? :D

[beer_good_foamy]

By all means! Thanks!
