REC

[twasadark]

I can't recall the last time I read such an absorbing, beautifully crafted, lovingly detailed story as Restraint (J2, historical) by Dark Emeralds. I rarely cry at fiction, but this had me a blubbering mess at the end. It's that good.

*wanders off to weep a bit more*

Ooooh, is it finished? I was listening to FayJay's podfic of it before but back then the story was still being written =) It was so good, though!

Yes, it was just finished last week, I believe. I wanted to listen to the podfic, but I was just too impatient (plus I had jury duty so it was a perfect opportunity to read something long and juicy on my Kindle!)

I'm still so broken up about the story. My eyes are all swollen this morning from crying last night!

I'm not sure whether to throttle you or hug you for your rec!!!!

I've been sat here reading all afternoon (and loving every minute of it) instead of doing all the chores. . . oh, well I'm sure I can do the cleaning tomorrow, back to reading. :)

Haha! Oh, you are in for such a long, satisfying journey, my dear! Make sure you have plenty of tissues ready for the end, though. &hearts

I started it yesterday and it's quite addicting. But ... you mentioned crying. Can you please answer here or PM me (to not spoil) and let me know if this has a sad ending? I really just can't deal at present with anything this long that ends on a tragic or sad note.

I started reading this some time ago and then decided to wait until it's finished. Crying?...It's not a deathfic is it? Won't be able to read it if it is :-(

Yes, unfortunately it IS a deathfic. If it's any consolation, though, both partners live long fulfilling lives. But the end is enough to break you, for sure. I sobbed like a baby. Well worth it for the fantastic read though.

Damn..was looking forward to that! Shall have to put it aside for another time I'm terrible for crying so shall have to pick my monent.

Thanks hun!
