I'm speechless... This was aboslutely amazing and incredible in every single way possible. You've truly captured all the aspects of Rue and Mytho's relationship, and in only 50 sentences no less. :D Each was written beautifully - I love them all so much I can barely pick a favorte... but I'm going to have to go with 'Farewells' just beacuse that reference to the little mermaid was brilliant. :)

Amazingg work! Wonderful, wonderful job. :) :)

Oh, WOW. This was... gorgeous. It's even difficult for me to pick favorites, since they were all so wonderfully written. And it's rare to see anything featuring these two, so I applaud you. Lovely work!

See? I told you the LJ set would have splendid ideas for prompts! And you shaped and polished them perfectly. Among my prefered jewels:

"Memory": such angst, and such a punch ending...all that in only one sentence! Who said "genius"?

"Run": other than the tragedy, this one was so great because the exact moment of the anime you describe popped in my head as I read it(again, in only one sentence...it took you only one sentence to put right in the moment you wanted).

"Wings": this one I find super sexy (the strenght hidden in his arms! Only I know it!) and the metaphor of him appearing as a marionette with cut strings really appropriate and powerful.

"Temptation": I really found interesting how you exploited the prompt, linking it to the jealousy Rue could feel for Fakir! Great twist on an usually predictable theme.

"Cover": Oh God. Believe me I'll never see Rue/Mytho the same way again. It was all so JHQ in a way, and it rises so many questions, like "does the raven blood corrupts Mytho or just awaken evil pulsions his usual prince persona is able to squash?"

"Dream": Ah God! This was so cute and sweet! My heartbeat accelerated in reminiscence of the first time I asked that to a childhood crush, the shyness, the hope, the clumsiness... And yet this is so very twisted after reading "Cover". Oie.

"Talent": very sweet too. Just by that sentence, you can feel the intense love Rue has for Mytho, the focus she has for him, radiating off her like a burning glow.

"Silence": This one I found extremely painful (in a good way!). The picture is horrifying: black raven feathers, in a place dark as ink, where lovesick, fearful Rue clings to her mad-becoming prince and continues to kiss him to reassure herself even though she knows it's futile, and he doesn't care. Yup. "Futile" was really the brutal word here.

"Fall": Awesome. Even more awesome after hearing your explanation of "why everyone loves Mytho, because he's an Ideal", here the Ideal is completely corrupted and it really embodies the "fall" of the prompt, and makes us understand the horror in Rue's eyes.

"Body": Very interesting. It's set in the future, on their honeymoon, right? Brilliant.

"Forever": You'll make me cry! Another set in the future, right? And Duck is a duck and oh, the selfless pair, being happy imagining they are happy. This is so sweet.

"Whisper": Enough of twisted Mytho, you frighten me! Although it's a bit less powerful because we read a couple before, if you isolate it, you can imagine it as part as one of Rue's nightmare. Like in the saying "be careful what you wish for", you know? I know I'd want to wake up because I never intended it this way...but then, is this better than nothing? Ah, questions again.

"Wait": The fluff-o-meter just exploded. And your readers love you.

"Highway": This is both so passionate and disturbing. "All roads lead back to me!"...tittering between meant-to-be love and hopelessness, and a bit of madness too in both cases.

All in all, a very successful, creative and brilliant set ("Talk" puzzled me a bit, but that's all), very strong and very well-constructed. If the rest of the prompts didn't make it to my favs, it's only (and that's really the only reason!) because they were not, in my eyes, as innovative from your usual style and ideas (I'm a picky connoisseur, ma'am, yes I am). Great work!

Beautiful. I'm so happy someone else did a 1sentence set for Tutu, particularly for one of my favorite pairings! I love the darker moments with evil!Mytho, and the hint of a new fairytale in "search". "Temptation" was chilling (and really gives a good glimpse at why Fakir and Rue are so cold with each other), and "View" has wonderfully brutal imagery with it. You've got a real way with words!

That was outstanding and it felt perfectly in character. Highway and temptation are my favorite.

I love this! Each sentence is so pretty, and tells a story all its own. Rue and Mytho for the win!
