Wow, this was brilliant. I was feeling Owen's desperation in this.

Owen's hands are trembling. His hands. Clean hands. Doctor's hands. Yet he sees them, bare, red stained, tearing - His knees give way, Owen is sick.
This gave me chills and is so simple and so beautiful.

Thank you! I struggled a lot during writing so I'm really, really happy that you enjoyed this fic :D

What hands are here?

[rootesie]

Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
Making the green one red.

And that is the first time I've ever felt moved to quote Shakespeare in a comment to a fic!

*applauds and hugs you tight*

[wykling]

Wheeeeee! Shakespeare!
*grins* Well, as far as I know I never got high-lit featured in a comment so that's a shared first for us and such an appropriate quote too!

*blushes and huggles back*
Thank you! :D

It just kept popping into my mind as I was reading. It's one of my favourite Shakespeare scenes, and I wondered if you were consciously alluding to it or if it was just a coincidence!

Am now pondering writing crack!smut in iambic pentameter... XD

*more hugs for you!*

Re: What hands are here?

[wykling]

It's a pure coincidence I have to admit, unfortunately the only original English Shakespeare I read so far was Romeo and Juliet. I'm working on rectifying that though x3

crack!smut in iambic pentameter would be awesome!!! xD

*takes the hugs and smooches you*

PS: the dark!Ianto-CW fic I talked to you about is up :D

[topgeargirl2]

[wykling]

Thank you! :D

[thrace_adams]

Oh wow...this was really powerful. Well done!!!! I got goosebumps. Great job.

[wykling]

Yay!!! *beams* This week's prompt was so hard to write. I'm so happy you liked it, Thrace! *hugs*

Love this! I love the stream of consciousness type feeling to it. The urgency and confusion of dream v reality was fantastic and made me hold my breath through sections of it. Brilliant!

[wykling]

I owe a lot to wynkat1313 here for pointing out the obvious to me *laughs* this fic was a severe can't-see-the-forest-in-between-the-trees case for me x3

*beams* Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you liked my fic :D
