![]() ![]() ![]() Omg that was so good! Chills! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Ohh, this is lovely. I absolutely adore your characterization of Erik: that combination of danger and promise and silky turns of phrase that makes him simultaneously alluring and terrifying. Riene has sung your praises on Tumblr, and I see now that I will need to read more of your stuff. :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() I really liked this. Everyone is in character and I really like your writing. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Well, I must say that this was a very satisfying take on the Graveyard scene! Also, you area good writer! I appreciate how you mingle your narrative and dialogue. The rhythm is good. :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() So much doubt and hesitation, on all their parts, and such an impossible situation-someone is bound to be hurt. Poor Christine, caught in the middle of so many plots and not wanting to hurt anyone. Believable dialogue, nice additional scene here, smooth flow and realistic characterizations. Bravo! The quotation at the top is perfect. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Oh, I loved that line about glimpsing spring after endless winter! Also where she thinks of the two halves of his face, and being placed in a growing storm. Just lovely writing, here. Christine's yearning for peace and acknowledgement of the pull and sympathy she feels toward him are beautifully done. Her brief consideration of if it would truly be so bad to go with him had me hoping for a yes! As always, I love the way you write with such sophistication and emotion. On to Chapter 2! |
![]() ![]() ![]() You already know how much I love this, but you're going to have to read all of my loff again! I really enjoy how your fics add so much to the story in general. I love the Wandering Child scene, don't get me wrong, but some of it just doesn't make that much sense to me. That is why seeing your take on the scene and how you flesh it out is awesome. :D I love Christine's emotions here - you can really see how she is struggling with all of the stress and being pulled between Erik and Raoul. I really get the feeling that she cares deeply for both of them, and you really pull it off super well. I love how the scene follows the song's lyrics and yet doesn't parrot them. All of their intents are there and clear, but you put a new spin on things. I love Erik in this (as you know ;) ) and also Raoul. It's hard to see anyone as the "bad guy" here - everyone is sympathetic. I LOVE THIS. So much. :D |
