I really liked it. Hence why I'm going to favourite it. :P You kept character really well. Not many people can write C.C. well, but I think you're one of them.

this story actually made me cry, she dreams of simple things - like a small child but she's so lonely when she wake up without anyone she can cling to, someone who can provide her the comfort and love she really needs and never quite received.

I heart C.C., I wished she could have her happy death already.

Even though almost all of her dreams regarded animals, it still held deep meanings. Held and hidden emotions perhaps? Dreams are meant to somehow signify the thoughts of the sub-conscious mind.
And though we all know that C.C. has mastered the art of hiding emotions through time, it just goes to show that there are still things she can't control.

After reading through all of her dreams, I couldn't help but feel her loneliness. It's just so forlornly tragic.
Anyway, hope to see more from you! Magnificent job you did here, keep it up :)

P.S. Hurray, another addition to my Alerts & Faves. Gotta love C.C. ;)

I love this - especially the spider one! You portrayed them so perfectly in character, especially C.C. Hmm...your choice of animals left me with lots to think about...particularly with the recurring ones...

Beautifully written. Lelouch and C.C.'s interactions were perfect and the scene where she asked Nunnaly what her dreams were like simply because she was curious was such perfect characterization. My favorite of her dreams was the spider one (I giggled at the idea of her lying in wait and then grabbing Lelouch and scaring him). Her not knowing what to do after she'd trapped him was particularly moving, and I loved their roundabout ways of complimenting each other.

See, there was just this underlying melancholy through the whole thing that almost brought me to tears, damn you. I really loved the imagery and emotion associated with each animal, and the subtle yet striking way you concluded each section. The part about Lelouch yelling at her because of his worry in particular.

I dunno, I absolutely adored this piece. It felt as if C.C. was in denial throughout the whole thing, kind of preparing herself for let down but giving into hope in the end anyway – only to have reality set in. I don't know if you intended to write it that way or if that makes any sense at all (-_-;), but well done nonetheless!

Simply breathtaking.

I was actually in suspense throughout the reading of this story. The pattern that you later established with the re-appearance of certain animals (such as the cat) made me wonder, wonder... wonder. Something about the style of this fic really dragged me in, and I got quite involved emotionally, so much so that once I noticed the scrollbar reaching the bottom, I didn't want it to end.

I think my excitement stemmed from a great appreciation of your style, which characterized both C.C. and Lelouch masterfully (even highlighting an element of romance, if you are sensitive to it). There was such an element of mystery about C.C.'s dreams, and her voice (observant, independent, transparently vulnerable) as she described her dreams illuminated her personality so much better than any other fic I've read so far. Despite the repetitive style, the story did have a flow, which is why I was ever so disappointed to find it finally ended.

Absolutely lovely! Faving.

very weird story... A little psychological though.

Amazing characterization. You've got the both of them down pat. I loved it.
