A follow-up to ALTNWO! Now I need only wait for Embers, Alexandra Quick and the fast to end, and my day will be complete!

Loved this. I think it was the general tone, keeping Cara's characteristics while at the same time showing her softer side with Dahlia. My favorite part was when the shared their bedroll, and had their little talk. Even if Dahlia isn't Mord'Sith any more, she's still wicked and has a sharp tongue. And those pet names... so cute and evil! I can just see a scene where they remake some of those memories they no longer have when they were both Mord'Sith.

And on an unrelated note, join us at Kushiel Sorting! We've just started discussing Chapters 5-8 of Kushiel's Chosen, and I would love to know your thoughts.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! I'm so glad others missed them too so this foray into fluffiness wasn't completely self-indulgent ;) I love that idea you mentioned of them making new memories and a new history together now. There's something so wonderfully star-crossed about their relationship. I really mourn there being no season 3 because I would have loved to see them meet again on the show.

Ah, I'd love to read/discuss Kushiel's Chosen, but I haven't read it before and I don't want to be spoiled (and with the holidays ending *sob* I'm going to be reading so slowly).

Oooh! And later on you can write dimension-traveling fics where Cara/Dahlia where they're both Mord'Sith meet these Cara/Dahlia! That's always fun.

Ah, well, you must tend to your own pastures, then. I shall await you eagerly when you do come to join, though (because I am assuming - no demanding - you will). In any case, I can't wait for more Melisande fic (or Kushiel Trilogy in general), especially inspired by Kushiel's Chosen, where Melisande pulls some of my favorite 'Magnificent Bastard Chess-Mistress moves by Melisande'.
