WOW. This is so vivid, I mean in 108 words you wrote a complete story. And an amazing one at that. I'm seriously in awe of you right now.

Somehow I went from reading no Charlotte/Juliet fics to reading two in one day and I've got to say this pairing rocks. Their voices are completely spot on here and the last part with the description of their clothes mingling on the floor was so hot and perfect and slightly eerie all at once. Just guh.

And I love, love the title! (Was that a Flashforward nod or just a coincidence? I thought that was a lovely line this week in between their usual cringy clunkers.) ;)

As always, I absolutely loved this. :D

No, I think you deserve a WOW, my dear! Thanks so much for such a wonderful comment! That's always my biggest worry with drabbles or drabblets -- that they run of the risk of feeling unfinished -- so I really appreciate that! :D

Haha, yeah I know -- it was phelipa's fic that really inspired this. I've read Charlotte/Juliet before but never really got excited about it; her story created all these awesome possibilities in my mind.

I actually came up with it, and then thought, "This sounds kinda familiar ..." and Googled it and saw Flashforward. It was lovely, wasn't it? So pseudo-inspired, haha.

Oooo, I love it so much!
Like ozmissage said there is SO much in just 108 words...you convey the emotion of the characters to wel and the vague recognition they feel. I love reading your Charlotte, the voice is just absolutely spot on. I'm also a huge fan of chance encounters and this was so intriguing - I loved the way you described the 'later that night' scene, it's so vague and yet descriptive at the same time. I love it!!
Fabulous job :D

Thank you so, so, so much! That's especially flattering since it was your great, great fic that inspired it! ;D

One of the things I liked about the reset thing (in the many things I didn't) is the ability to play around with the whole before/after and random encounters aspect, so I'm glad you liked it!

I am in love with this. The opening line is freaking perfect - the whole piece is. 108 words shouldn't be enough to tell such a wonderfully written story. Wow.

valhalla37 October 12 2009, 17:03:37 UTC

WOW, thank you so, so much! Oh God, I'm so relieved -- thought it would be too choppy/weird to really tell a narrative, so I'm glad you think I did! :D

*dead*

Um. Yes. Hottest pairing ever. ;)

Seriously, this is beautiful and scary and wicked awesome on so many different levels. This took my breath away!

valhalla37 October 13 2009, 14:41:50 UTC

Serious. There is so much pretty.

Thank you so much! I was worried about how it turned out, since it was written in so little time, so that's much appreciated! :)

I love your Charlotte voice here!

Thank you so much! Sometimes she's such an enigma, so I really appreciate it!
