Creepy! Love the last line.

Thanks. Yeah, I tapped into my WTFness for this lil' AU. I think that they might be a little OOC, but I still like my drabble. :)

I tried to show the world- without "telling" about it when I wrote.

Anyway, thanks for reading. :)

Whoa, creepy!

I love how ambiguous this whole universe is, how much of it takes place between the lines. And so creepy - damn good closing line.

[world_of_blade]

Thanks so much. :)

WHOA. That was uncomfortable to read - in a good way, which means it pushed all sorts of buttons and left me with ton of questions. It reminds me of those twisted Star trek alternate universes. While I don't write stuff like this (because I am all about happy endings), I really admire a story that can pull off something like this - it's not that these characters are OOC, they're not - IMO. They seem more like a mirror image of themselves, with same traits arranged in a different, considerably darker way.

Great job! *claps*

This is going to sound dumb, but you don't know how much I needed this feedback from you! *hugs* (Okay, now I am not going to be a scary type person for the rest of my comment)

I've been worried ever since I posted it that I went too far.

Thank you so much! Everything you said was exactly what I was going for. :)

*hugs back* Heh, I think it would take much much more to be too disturbing for me - it may be that my tolerance for stuff like domestic abuse is - uh - bigger? - is that the right word - than average person's. If you want I can explain in more detail through PM. (and did you need this type of feedback from someone, or me in particular? I don't find your comemnt really scary.)

Anyway, I think that not all stories should leave us with the feeling of happy and fuzzy. Not all stories are meant to be like that. Some of them should push buttons - after all, the world we live in isn't always a pleasant place.

Yeah i think you definitely got all of those across, well at least it worked for me. :)

[world_of_blade]

I just needed the type of feedback you gave me from anyone. :)

I also totally agree that not all fic needs to be happy- but I still worried when I posted this one. Then I forgot to put any type of warning on it, and had to be reminded (rightfuly so) to put a warning, and that seemed to start off all my worrying about going to far.

Anyway, thankyou again.

Also? Of all things you hinted at this line: “They never actually say what the horrible things are, or why zone five is unsafe and cut off from the rest of us. Maybe it is actually us that is secluded from everyone else?” is what I like the best. I am SO curious about that. If you ever decide to address this AU again, I will happily read!

[world_of_blade]

I'll totally let you know if I write this AU again. :)

Creepy, but totally interesting in weird way. You have created an amazing atmosphere in this little fic. Awesome.

[world_of_blade]

Thank you very much. :)
