this story is as relentless as eric! gah! so good! thank you for sharing this with us...

Good girl. It was blasphemy to even consider Eric meeting the sun; if you made me relive it a second time from EPOV, I was going to come unhinged.

That better have been one of the britlingens disguised and some great magic. If you actually killed Eric, you are just an evil bitch. Just sayin'.

So pleased that misunderstanding sorted out so easily! nice that an attractive human man asked sookie out! Even tho no one can of course compare with our Viking...

Enough fucking around hiking and biking on vacation. You are hurting Eric. Yes, deal with your mental trauma, but shame on you for torturing Eric.

Dammit Sookie, stop behaving like a spoiled, idiotic, stubborn teenage girl and let Eric help you! Let him in!

Ok, I'll say it... Craig is the king of all douche-lords. I will happily feed his dick into a meat grinder while it is still attached to his body and take great pleasure in turning the hand crank! I will go old-school Queen Bitch on his ass!

I hereby formally request, on bended knee, that you make your stories longer, or take up sequels. Next one, shoot for 60, then 90. :)

Oh how I love this Viking! :)

Thank goodness I decided to re read this, or I would never have discovered there was more, and I would have missed out big time.

A year, a lot can happen in that time, I wonder what will :)

I didn't, I thought he was one of those things you see that tell you you're dreaming. Like that Matt Damon film, oh I know what I mean :)

She's scaring me more than Eric does! I knew I could trust you to be evilly sneaky but not plain evil :)

She didn't see it, even you aren't that evil! He made her see it so she'd think Eric was never coming for her...the dog is real. I don't know why I think that, but I do.

I hope you're not that evil!

I enjoyed it. I can imagine him as an explorer, I think the idea of him being Swedish is because Askars is. Correct me if I'm wrong, but CH doesn't say he was, does she? I think he was alluding to LE too, maybe because he was venturing into Edginton'a stronghold, and compared himself to the famous Scandinavian.

What a lovely chapter. I can just imagine her face, she's walking and trying to sort everything out in her head and then she finds a statue of her boyfriend.

That's not something that happens every day is it?

I enjoyed how whole and loved she felt, the analogy of the piece of the Sookie puzzle finding the right place at last. She did the right thing in getting herself some space.

And she's right, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar :)
