thank you
Crawford gets what he wanted, and manipulates everyone to get it, even if Aya doesn't understand that to the very end

Fantastic! I was completely engrossed from the beginning to the end. Wonderfully dark and you captured both characters perfectly.

thank you
(and now I've run out of Crawford icons)

You know, you just write the best Crawford and Aya stories. Crawford is such an enigmatic figure in this (which I suppose is perfect for an Oracle!). Aya is left to wonder what the heck Crawford wants with him and he's got it all wrong. :)

Crawford knows Aya and knows how to push his buttons. He knows how to manipulate like no one else to get what he wants...because he can. Just perfect.

i like this story, it came from a vision when i was listening to the deftones of all things - "take the gun, blow me away" was the lyric and i thought about it for years actually, just let it slowly simmer
what is interesting about the story is you expect it to be a relationship, Crawford opens up so much of himself but keeps that one locked door, and Aya's own need to care give is there but they're both too proud to admit weakness which is why Crawford manipulates him so carefully, even if he ultimately reveals more than he wanted to

Oh thank you so much for writing this! Your Crawford/Aya stories are always so very wonderful.
This specific one was very impressive because it was so dark, although it had its bright spots at the same time. There is this undertone of what could be, because Crawford and Aya treat each other with respect, they do care in some strange way. But they would never do anything to really get to know each other closer...
I really love the ending. It fits the story and it´s typical Crawford, manipulating Aya into shooting him.
Great story!
