![]() ![]() ![]() cuddlesthat call definitely needs to be worked on. no one can constantly be straining to be alert, especially not sookie. the mental toll will just sap her telepathy shield |
![]() ![]() ![]() you have to give it to her, when the girl makes a decision, she makes the hell out of it |
![]() ![]() ![]() welp. sigh. I saw the foreshadowing but this is still gut-wrenching. I supposed sometimes you have to be knocked down before you can build yourself up. |
![]() ![]() ![]() well it's nice to know that it takes everything going to hell in a handbasket to get some honesty around here. |
![]() ![]() ![]() what was he looking at? gut reaction or not sook, that was probably a bad idea. you're going to regret that, I just know it |
![]() ![]() ![]() one step forward, two steps back. cat bagout. |
![]() ![]() ![]() denial denial denial. girl, you've got it bad and it's not the bond. and you have an endless well of forgiveness for all the wrong people. I get not wanting his death on your conscience but why do you feel the need to have bill in your life? sigh. I guess we're all idiots for our first loves. but what was she supposed to be cautious about? for all the subterfuge of her procurement for the queen, bill is not exactly the world's subtle vampire and i doubt he's talking about Eric. not without a flicker of the eye. |
![]() ![]() ![]() oh, spot on! she was definitely scarred by bill's betrayal. Actually I think the longer you go without certain intimacies the more important that they become later in life so that was definitely impactful to her. having her first lover betray her so grieviously right as she is caught more and more off balance in a cruel, punishing and alien world crippled sookie. the lovers changed and her circumstances altered but it seemed sookie dug her feet in and refused to give up those muleheaded tendencies that led to her loosing the love of her life. how ironic that you have her watching 'gone with the wind'. |
![]() ![]() ![]() hmm what do you want mr. northman? |
![]() ![]() ![]() ok so I like that she's speaking her mind and not capitulating. for now at least. a well characterized sookie gets real annoyingly bullheaded real fast. that damn steel magnolia. and I honestly hope all this second-guessing leads to talking it out and not severing the bond. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Amazing story! It was so hard to put down. What you did with all the chapters was fantastic. So many twists and turns. Would be so wonderful if your muse came back, as you left us with another amazing plot set up. Thanks so much for sharing your writing with us. |
![]() ![]() Is there more to this story? |
![]() ![]() ![]() I realise this is years old, so you might not read this, but I just wanted to say you got the characters so right! Amazing! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Omg this has definitely been one of the best fics I have ever read. After chapter 29 I thought you would be wrapping everytbing up and finishing only to find the fairy mate thrown in and then nothing! I know it's been a long time but I would love to see this finished! I have a fic I started writing 3 years ago and am thinking of finishing it now as well haha. |
![]() ![]() ![]() What a wonderful story. I love your take on the knife pledging or covenant and Erics maker, Izo is still a sadistic maker but I was happy go not see Ocella. The way you explain how Sookie doesn't want to be a vampire actually makes sense to me and I can respect her decision for once and you made it totally fit with her character. That being said I don't like or understand how venomently she disapproved of anyone else being turned even if it's their choice. This was a great story and so sad that you didn't finish it. I really want to know how Eric deals with Naill and what Sookie decides for her future, is it with Eric until she is old and then being alone or maybe he convinced her of forever, does she ever decide to have kids and how or why not. So much I wish you had explored but I'm stil glad you shared this wonderful tale with us. |
