 LittleGreenBudgie 2009-08-11 . chapter 1I cannot thank you enough for writing this for me. You hit my thoughts of RavenRebecca dead-on, and left me speechless, especially since you usually don’t write a pairing such as this.
[He was just bad—badass and bad news.] I loved this line. The way you phrased this left me grinning, and it was an accurate assessment to boot.
[He was his own person—and somebody she knew that she could depend on…
On the battlefield.] I love your blocking skills—I know I’ve said it over and over, but they are a thing of wonder. This part…I liked how it started and got your hopes up a little, before the next phrase crashed them. The emphasis on “on the battlefield” made me feel bad for Rebecca, but at the same time, it still offered the hope that he was dependable…
[Maybe it was the way he carried himself, so tall and proud and /sure/.] I have no idea what it was, but I loved this line.
[“You don’t have to be good for me,” she said. “You just have to love me.”] This line made me wince a little. Poor Rebecca is seeing things as she’d like them to be, blinded by love for him, and…ouch.
[“Commitment.”] And so you hit the issue that I’ve always wondered about for Raven. The guy has commitment issues, for sure. I mean, if you look at how he keeps pushing everyone away and tries to just be distant and all, it’s fairly obvious. I love how you used that, instead of just going “Eh, let’s make it a happily ever after. The end.”
Wonderful job, and wonderful fic. Thank you so, so much for writing this! |
