I have been reading this for the past goddamn hour, clutching my tea like a life line and clinging to every word.
Your characterization is SUPERB and so are the interactions. Marcus ignores the subtext there, the unsaid the uniforms and medals you wouldn’t bring but the nightmares you would?, and says, “I know people who can grab it for me.”
Ohhhh, I'm so glad you like it: I've been worrying about this; a bit of a step outside the comfort zone for me. ♥♥ I adore your Uncle A. HE'S SO SNARKY. I love him like burning. Thank yooooou! ♥
Oh, you took on your own challenge and man, you've done it so well! When I first started reading for some reason I kept imagining it in a Steampunk Universe (don't ask me why, I actually have no idea) but it quickly cleared up for me fuddled brain and I was on the ball. And yes, your Uncle A is so in character, fond but not taking any of your bullshit. Can't wait for more! ♥
... nope, no steampunk, alas. Maybe mutants and steampunk go hand in hand? They are very similar concepts, after all... :P will rec the shit out of this btw Dude, you kill me. Many times over. ♥♥
Oh gosh. Mutants. I don't think I could possibly translate to you the ridiculous amount of flailing this has incited on my end. Because ridiculous really isn't the word, I think I'm leaning threateningly into 'spasms of joy' territory now.
This is the kind of characterization that you kind of quite want to lick, and then horde away somewhere because you're afraid of how beautiful it is.
Not as much mutanty stuff in this part, alas, but I promise there will be more. Oh, boys. Never been a huge fan of AUs (they scare me!), but this one is eating my brain, yo.
the kind of characterization that you kind of quite want to lick ... if you say so, darling. :D Thank you. ♥♥
Oh my god this is amazing. It is such a great blend of dark and humourous (hee uncle Aquila!), and a really interesting AU setting. And your writing is so gorgeous, vivid, tight, elegant - I love the plot set-up but I could probably read your prose forever, regardless of contents, it is so so good.

“No you don’t.”
Marcus winces. “I can get to know people.”
I adore your Uncle A.
