...words simply fail to express how much I love this fic. I can't even think of how to describe it except "gorgeous", "brilliant", and "utterly fantastic" -- as well as heartbreakingly beautiful.

I've always had a fondness for stories written like this -- fractured fairytales, if you will -- and after struggling with one of my own and giving me up, this has made me want to write again. :)

Love you loads,
Steph
