I love the rythmic structure this has. You did amazing tapping into Ashley's mind. Great job.

Thank you, darlin'. Ashley's mind is a gift that keeps on giving, indeed...

I love the atmosphere you've created for us and, most especially, for Ashley. It just drew me in and wouldn't let go. Terrific fic as always! Very inspired.

Aw, thank you! Could you tell that I'm sick of the winter and just want to hit the beach?

*blush* I did nothing!

And seriously, I've told you like 10 times now, but I just want to swoon when you give the image of Ashley sleeping like a starfish. It's so dream-like and lyrical in its own way. Whale songs, indeed. :)

I'm glad I could be of some help to you, even though I don't recall what I did for you. ;)

Yer my literary ping-pong buddy! And you ask what it is you did. Tsk.

Don't cry for me... [bites her lips; can't stop] Argentinaaaa!

(It's one of those things you used to make fun of, but then got stuck as your new, totally unfunny verbal tick. There. That's my story and I'm stickin' with it.)

Please do. Write more, that is. Like, pronto?

This is beautiful. Especially this:

"No, her moon wore a tiara, silver shoes, a see-through dress. Her moon would kick off her shoes and dance over the waves at night."

But all of it, really. Just beautiful, poetic and dead-on Ashley. It left me with what I would normally call a warm fuzzy feeling, but with all this talk of the ocean it's more of a cool, soothing feeling. Nonetheless, amazingly well done.

Oh, wow. Well, this comment definitely left *me* with a warm and fuzzy feeling. Thank you.
