| Lilith 2006-12-22 ch 1, anon. | abuseLuna, I swear this probably is my fave story so far (even if it's not CaRWash). You did an amazing job with it. Great descriptions of feelings and memories, impressive communicativity, and so witty dialogues... Just perfect. This lines broke my heart: “Be fine, Mushy.” He murmured with a blink, then bent on her and left a kiss on her temple, not giving her the chance to speak. “For what it’s worth, I would no longer be so stupid to let you come second.” But now that she was sitting right next to him, Jake realized she had never been so unattainable and distant. “I don’t know what illusions I had about us.” She mused flatly. “But whatever it was, it died long before I left you.” I like the very Southern nickname, by the way. More compliments on you great talent. |
| Rainbow Stevie 2006-12-22 ch 1, | abuse"...but he had no memory of any real feeling." And that, right there, sums up my entire interpretation of the idea of Jake & Calleigh. Interesting new interpretation for her secret tattoo; I really like it. And I like the way she brushed it off, "it's just a stupid pair of wings", but that you left its significance somewhat ambiguous. Excellently worded ending. |
| Beaglicious 2006-12-21 ch 1, | abuseWhat a great fic! What I really liked most about this was the comparisons and contrasts...how nothing really was as it seemed the first time around, and how different things are when they reunite. You really did an excellent job showcasing those. I was fascinated by the idea of Jake wanting to possess Calleigh..never anything I've really thought about with them before, but certainly something we often see in real life, and certainly a very different picture of Calleigh that what we have now. "The new Calleigh would never let a man own her." How true...lovely twist on her backstory as to why she's like that now. "He didn’t know how it was possible he was feeling so close to her when her had barely felt her when she had been completely lost in him." What great imagery! "The ironic thing was that when she had been with him, he had let her go without bothering to fight, and now he was desperately trying not to lose her, he didn’t even have her." Again, a nice job with the compare and contrast. Really enjoyed this - hope to see more Cake from you soon! |
| SincerelyInDenial 2006-12-21 ch 1, | abuseNice explorations of their relationship, especially since we don't know too much about Jake. I enjoyed it very much. |
| randomwriting 2006-12-21 ch 1, | abuseLoved it! I quite enjoyed this angsty take on their relationship. These lines jumped off the page and stayed with me because of the depth of insight and emotion they conveyed: “You know, it’s never been about what you didn’t ask me.” She addressed him a penetrating gaze. “It’s about what you didn’t care to know.” The ironic thing was that when he she had been with him, he had let her go without bothering to fight, and now he was desperately trying not to lose her, he didn’t even have her. He had just said goodbye to her for the second time around, but it was the first time he was aware of what he was letting go. Not the ending I dream of... but fitting nonetheless. Well done! |
| Moony's Lady 2006-12-21 ch 1, | abuseYou are the queen of angst whores, Luna! I like a lot what you did with this piece... You've been very acute in the descriptions of Jake's feelings, which is something quite hard to do, I think, being Jake such a complex character (besides, we know so little of him and his relationship with Cal). I loved how you compared the past to the present... Awesome work, really fab. |
