You're bloody amazing.

Everyone's completely in character, and it's just so amazing to feel these deeper feelings from them!

You are amazing!

i love it. :)

I love this. Seriously. I haven't read your other stories before, but if this is a result of you having turned cynical and stuff, well, I think it's a good change :D I've always been a sucker for tragedy romances, after all.

Wow. That was beautiful. Bitter sweet. Excellent characterisations of Satine and Christian. Well done!

oh that was really really good :)

it was really in character and very much like the movie. the ending was wonderful actually yeah, the whole story was wonderful

This is beautiful. The cynicism works for writing Satine, it's an integral part of her character in IMHO. I love how you contrasted them in terms of age, the child and the old woman. Your characterization of Christian might be slightly weak considering the point is he's actually in love with her, but you've captured the writing perspective very well (surprise surprise). The part about Satine not liking story telling "She prefers to step into a world fully realized, to disappear from herself entirely" was wonderfully true, which I think is the mark of great writing. Wow.

lovely. Quite lovely. I enjoyed it alot!

Great job! it kept me smiling!

::tears up::

A lovely sappy story for a lovely sappy movie.

Sorry, you deserve better than that. You write excellently; not only that, but you actually capture the tone of each of the characters. You make me want to watch this movie all over again, except that I'm not in the mood to start bawling. Too bad you've already made me cry. :)

Has it been four years since you wrote in this catagory? That's far too long! I knew when I saw your name I was in for something good - and this is beyond good, it's wonderful. I wish I had written this myself - this is the best Satine-fic you've written yet. Her characterization is fully realized, sharply observed and yet delicately written, entirely true to character while completely fresh at the same time. There isn't a wasted word here, no awkward or clunky moments, no clutter whatsoever.

In truth this is more of a character study than a "story" per se - and coming to the end of it I found myself wanting more chapters, although I assume this is probably a one-shot. But what a character study! The scene between Chris and Satine discussing the script is probably my favorite because it goes deeper into their relationship than we are used to seeing, because I always suspected she was more of a collaborator on the play than Baz gave her credit for - and because it sets up, very plausibly, a reason why Chris doubts her in the movie or says "you don't have to lie to me." It's rare when a fanfic can expand and enrich the film it's based on, but this one does exactly that.

oh, that was just-so lovely. this is the first story i've read in a while that made me actually really want to review it. it was so sweet and adorable and just all-around beautiful. and so in character! i could actually hear every character saying his or her dialogue. you got everything exactly right.

squee! moment:

"She wakes up to the sound of the door shutting and the sudden smell of what might be chicken.

“I made soup,” Christian announces quietly, as if speaking any louder might break her. “Or, um, tried. I’ve never been good at this.”

We haven't seen a fic from you in a while! I'm glad you've decided to return, even if it's just for one fic.

This is lovely, the slight cynicism works well. Everyone's in character, and I like your style, it's very simple, yet meaningful and effective.

I especially like how you kept the characters in character and wrote very believable scenes. Very well written and tasteful! Keep up the good work!
