I was offline when you posted this one, too, so I haven't had a chance to comment yet...
But... thank you so much for letting me see this a few weeks before posting! <bg> So you already know how much I love it, and I still can't help going 'oh, wowowowowow' every time I see it. I know you said you wanted that the viewer would be left with the impression of a very dark fic, and you succeeded all the way - so get up on stage, I'll get you a medal and we'll all have cake, 'cause this was pure perfection! Wow!
Pelican (chocolate cake sounds good, yeah?)
