*the bear sighs*

a lovely little snog first thing in the morning is always good to lift up the spirits.

...spirits *snickers*

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it. Another reason I love writing about Wufei (especially in the first person) is...everything he does is so dramatic. He's fun. Even when he's a brat. THanks again!!

Wu (I love him!) falling off his rocker (but how else could I get him to snog his wife?)

Hey, whatever works. ^_~ (I got orange in the color quiz, by the way. 0_o I hate orange.)

Title: Descent

I liked this very much! Wufei's voice is very hard for me to capture, but this is absolutely him. ^_^ This was one of my favorite bits, because of the things it reveals about Wufei's character and his relationship with Meilan:

Sometimes I wish I had loved her. Maybe then she wouldn't haunt me the way she does. I wouldn't feel her hands on my neck or taste her breath when I inhale.

This seems very IC to me--the reasons why he's being haunted, and his reaction to it. And I loved this description of Meilan herself:

She is so real to me now. I take her in my arms as I never did while she lived, and feel her, warm and lissome, sleek as an otter.

Yum. ^___^ Thanks, Rachel!

Thank you! :) I don't know why...Wufei's voice just comes to me easily. Maybe it's because I disliked him at first so I had to take the time to convince myself of his good points (and he does have quite a few!) I always liked Meilan, just because she had so much spunk. (And Wu's actions really make a lot more sense after having read Episode Zero!)

So, thankies! That was fun to write! Ooh, that was my last snog!!
