Oh, but, but *splutter*! They're supposed to _disbelieve_ her, not go make a mess because it's too likely altogether.

And now I can't go beddybye until I find out what else you've done to our favorite book hunter.

I love all your Ninth Gave fics!

Most intriguing! Poor Dean's not doing too well is he? I liked the wretching while she ate. His misfortune is her dinner- nice touch that. Her predictions sound quite interesting, too.

oh, mysterious to say the least! I like your new character Cassandra. Who can blame Dean Corso for not wanting to hear what she had to say? Sounds like his troubles are far from over!

Cafe Armande? relative to 'Chocolat'? ;)

A veritable cloud of smoke surrounded him.

- yum, i can smell it now

*

eyed the Hanged Man with disfavor

- yeah, i can see why he'd have a diversion towards that particular card. Maybe the Empress or the the Fool could brighten him a little. lol

"Not at all," the American assured her in serviceable French. "I'll be paying for the lady's dinner."

- gotta love Dean. a true gentleman, to the core. :D :D

and a palm reader. awesome

There was nothing new there.

- lol. go figure.

awesome story! talk to you soon!

Well, I wish I had seen the movie, but this is certainly an intriguing beginning! Finding a God? What a wonderful "forward."

I must see that movie.

Good Dean,he was pretty pitiful looking throught almost the entire movie,but not this I like what you did with this. (P.S, I still don't like the movie :)

Oh goody goody. Hm - does that make me sound like a two year old? But I love the Ninth Gate and there is so little fic out there. Poor Dean! I like the prophesy and your descriptions really make the story world appear. Looking forward to more!

And thank you for your kind review. Somebody has requested a sequel, and I will probably stick your line in it - with proper credit of course. It is just too perfect. :-)
