Lovely in an uncomfortable way. It made me a little sad and a little happy and I couldn't stop reading it. Beautiful work.

Omfrickinggod. Nice job. Absolutly amazingly awesomely perfect. I think that should've had commas, but oh well. I liked this quite a bit. Very well put together and the characters were very well fleshed out.
Elodie~

this whole thing is lovely but this- "The street below her is wet and dripping at the edges, like a painting stood up before it has the chance to dry." - now that is flawless in every way I can think of.

beirut is absolutely brilliant. "postcards from italy" makes me nostalgic in a way I can't even explain.

oh my ** god
i had this huge review written out and it got erased
double ugh

"blood in milk"
being flushed?


you know, i love autumn most and to read a story mostly about autumn just kills me, it is so delicious and spiced
summer lacks spices and warmth
it is too warm, it is hot
only the night is kind enough to hug your knees and envelope you

i have always dreamed of beautiful sex
the kind where it isn't hot or racy
just beautiful

i dream too much


or not enough


i love this though, the entire story with the animal names
and the animal gods
and the stories, did you make them up?

i want to make masks and live in fairytale yellow light forrests
fairy tale is too cheap of a word
i want surreal
beauty

The title and summary just raked me in, even though I was just planning to go to bed. The summary reminded me of 'Troll Bridge' by Neil Gaiman, which is my favourite short story of all time, so I couldn't resist :).

Oh your imagery is to die for sweetie, but using two similies in one line can be a little...extreme.

I managed to make it to the first line break before I just felt so inspired that I had to go off and write something...that has never happened to me before O__O.

I love how you use so much natural imagery. It's...ugh; I don't want to sound too fanboyish.

"there is a glint behind his ever-so-dark pupils that tells her he understands." - in reality, eyes are eyes. You can't read emotions or personality into them just by looking at them, it's to do with how your eyelids are lowered or the rest of your facial muscles move, or your body language and tone of voice. I don't like the whole 'eyes' thing; it's too cliched. This seems more like surreality, but I should hope the rules might still apply.

There are so many lines I could quote but...it would take me forever. You have a VERY poetic way of writing.

You do use an awful lot of similes, which is lovely, but metaphors are generally more powerful. Though you do use plenty enough of them too xD.

I loved the whole folk tale thing. I don't know anyone to compare your writing style to, but your imagination is up there with Neil Gaiman.

Your characters have very human traits - it makes them relateable to :D.

Meh, I definitely prefer Delilah to Roe; he's too pompous, condescending and demanding.

I would wonder why you didn't give your characters any physical defects, but for a story like this, reality isn't as relevant, I guess. I suppose you can get away with the 'eye' thing in stories like this too. I wouldn't mind anyway, 'cause this story is excellent.

The ending was...fantastic. I'm lost for words on the striking imagery you create and your attention to setting AND characterisation. I am SO favouriting this.

Fantastic balance between simple and complex. I love the narrative style. I think the folk tale aspect of it worked out.

The story is so like you...I've been waiting for you to come back to fp all this time and your style of writing hasn't changed a bit. I love it. It makes me think of so many different things, old memories. It is so nostalgic. Don't be sad:D I know how you feel because I have just moved to London to study all the way from Poland. It's crazy going somewhere all alone just after high school. right now it's too early but in a few days I'm sure I'll be missing my weird country.
I miss your old story "gardenhead". Any chance you will be posting it back and updating sometimes? I love all your stories but I'm seriously addicted to that one. Even after 10 months.
