Absolutely frickin' brilliant!

Thank you! Now that Lia is no longer bouncing around in my head like a fury (she's much like her mother that way), I'm liking the story and not just seeing the process of writing it. ;-P

I LOVED it. Love, love, love, love it. I'm so overwhelmed, I can't really think of any more words to express how much I loved it! I'm going to read it again later, then I may have some more coherent thoughts. Brilliantly done!

Thank you so much, though, for letting me know that it moved you. I was a wee bit worried about it because, well, it's not a typical elanurel story by any stretch but the underlying message was really important to me.

It's up! Eeeee

there shall be a post about this in my journal later ;)

*is blushing*

But, yep, it's up. For good or ill. Mostly, I think it's for the good. Now that it's "out there," I think it pretty much accomplishes what I set out to do.

Oh wow. This was brilliant. Clearly, it was well thought out, and the imagery was wonderful. Very well done.

Thank you so much! I've been working on it since the middle of June but it sort of took on a life of its own during the last three weeks. It was a hard one to finish, though, so I'm thrilled that folks are enjoying it.

This is a really amazing story. I love the fairy tale retelling because you've made it your own, and it's an excellently creative use of prompts.

I can imagine a Winchester daughter being like this, even if she didn't really know her history.

Thank you! I did a lot of research on the symbology I used and worked hard to intertwine the stories themselves with existing SPN stuff so I'm thrilled you enjoyed the attempt. ;-P

Me, too. Obviously. ;-P The kids were definitely sheltered, even though Penny had a vested interest in teaching them how to deal with faerie and Dean taught them how to defend themselves. But I'm likewise thrilled that you could see Lia as a Winchester girl. That's the best thing someone can tell you at the end of a fic like this.
