Very well written. It was interesting to find, in all the thoughts of escape, freedom, suicide, and the raging storm that she could still find peace. You heighten her frail sense of hope with the backdrop of the storm very well. I didn't expect the piece to end on a positive note after all the darkness, but it made the tiny glance of hope all the more powerful in the end.

The image of a drowning exorcism was especially note-worthy. It helps us visualize what her attempted drowning looked like: clawing hands, twisted body, back-rolled eyes.

"That after all these years, he was the only one for which she longed. The only man to whom she had loved, and who had torn out that heart along with his own. And who had broken their bond with his own hands." I think that is the heart of the sadness of the Tia/Davey story. He was only a man, she was a goddess. It was nothing for her to leave him...or so she believed. That she only knew she loved him, too late, makes their drama that much more terrible, because the man she loved/loves, is gone forever.

Excellently explored!

Love it!

This is excellent...to put it mildly! I loved it! You described her thoughts and feeling very, very well.

God this is beautiful. I hope you actually write a multi-chapter one. There is so limited amount of fics with these pairings in this fandom. Well anyways great job

^^ Got here via your link on the dalmafan LJ community. All I have to say is: WOW. I think you've captured her torment beautifully, and it's certainly a very refreshing take... usually other fics capitalize on Calypso's frustration on being unable to become a goddess, but yours - as I read it - appealed more to what was lost, rather than the want for power. No one sympathizes with a person who wants power, and your different take on it just made her loss absolutely heartbreaking.
