Sin Eater: New York 1907 (part 5 of 6)

[thatotherperv]

ok I have to post this now before I keep fucking with it and adding to it and I ruin the whole thing. *squints at the changes I've made* I can't keep my fingers out of the dough unless I stick it up here for the world to look at, so I'm taking away the temptation

First: I can't believe I don't have you friended yet, and that ticks me off. Will remedy that as soon as I'm finished here.

Second: You expressed a desire for Jareth Icons. Umm, I, therefore, made some. Cuz, well, just cuz I wanted to. So I'm posting this comment with one.

[altyronsmaker]

And a second Jareth icon here. =)

lol. well, you know, luckily it's an easy enough thing to fix :D hello, new friend.

and oooh, pretty! and hot off the presses *is excited* thanks for passing them over here :)

[altyronsmaker]

Hee! You're welcome!

Also? LOVE this story. These quick snippets are perfect and heart wrenching. Poor newly souled, crazy Angel. And Spike. *sigh*

Love these.

[laisserais]

did someone say jareth icon? here's another one for you! lol there's (of course) an entire bowie icon site somewhere here.

"Spike licked his lips. “In me, mostly.” yay! dirty, rough, guilty sex. guh. LOVELOVELOVE the eating for two/sin eater metaphor. So brilliant. Poor Angel.

"Angel’s limbs were heavy and solid, thrown over his body in a way that used to be possessive. Now…he just didn’t know. " sigh.

"Spike had spoken to every mage and demon in this new city to try and rid him of this disease" nice! The soul is absolutely a disease in Spike's conception.

oh! i'm crawling out of my skin with the angst! and i'm so in love with Spike for doing what has to be done! even though he's killing children, he makes me want to give him a hug. well done! Mel, I really can't even express how much I love this story. maybe i'll go think about it, and then i can explain it better. lol

lol. the girls have reawakened jareth mania!

dirty, rough, guilty sex might be the entire basis of my otp. just kidding, I love them for their fistfights, too. *snerk*

yeah, this part kind of cracks open the whole sin eater metaphor doesn't it? in fact, it didn't even occur to me until this scene. LOL. wish I could say I planned it out in a clever fashion, but...nope.

to Spike, the soul is totally a disease. I keep wondering what Spike would feel when Angel does lose it years later in Sunnydale. because we know canonically that Spike can adjust to devoting himself to good for someone he loves, so...I feel like by that point, it would actually upset him. or something. not sure.

even though he's killing children, he makes me want to give him a hug.my job here is done. lmao. no, seriously. that's totally something I was shooting for. I think it's so funny how Spike sees this as a great solution...not because it's moral, because he doesn't give a toss about that, but because it gets the job done, like you said

[vikingprincess]

a very painful chapter. I'm impressed by Spike's loyalty (though it IS one of his defining characteristics) in such a difficult situation.

[thatotherperv]

it's funny to say "thank you" to "a very painful chapter" but...thank you!

I think he's definitely a loyal little guy, in his own way. especially if someone needs him. *pets him*

[jans_intentions]

Even though they both knew he’d continue eating for two.

I love that. That's what we knew he was doing.

The non con didn't squick me. Vampires are like horses. Rough mating.

This really fits in a lovely way with canon, Spike caring for Angel. I really have enjoyed this series and look forward to whatever happens next.

[thatotherperv]

"vampires are like horses" lol. yeah I didn't figure it would squick anyone. cuz they're...spangel. haha. also, is it noncon if Spike tricks Angel into shoving him against the wall and taking him? lmao.

thank you, hon. I'm glad you're enjoying it!

[persephone_20]

So he couldn’t afford to bugger it up.

I love that line. It's just so poignant. Very important. I love all of this. I love that it's longer too. Very very nicely written. *smiles*

[thatotherperv]

thank you! I'm glad you liked that line. glad to hear you're enjoying it :)

[persephone_20]

Very much. I'm very sad to see that there will be only one more after this. :( But sad in the good way that it has been a good series.
