Why should I be careful? This is great!

Mwhahahaha so evil! *pets Gerald* Is there any doubt why I totally fell for him? *pets and feeds human fear*

I'm glad you liked it... People are usually upset if their fics are dark so since you have no problems with that, I think any future requests of yours are bound to be interesting^_^

[alice_montrose]

Heh. I definitely don't ave a problem with that, as long as it's in-character. Besides, Gerald in Hunter mode is always fun to read! *worships*

*purrs* Lovely little evil ficlet!

Btw, what happened to your AU take on the beginning of CoS?

Hellfire? I'm a slow writer^_~ but I'm working on it. I have to finish Alice's Lions of Al-Rassan fic first.

I just wondered whether Damien had died of vertigo and blood loss yet. ;-)

[ariss-tenoh.livejournal.com]

*chuckles*
Oh no. Not yet but we all know he's going to be a terrible patient^_^

[carmentalis.livejournal.com]

With Gerald for a doctor, who can blame him?

[ariss-tenoh.livejournal.com]

*chuckles*
One can just imagine how terrible Gerald's bedside manner is.

[carmentalis.livejournal.com]

He may not be the most patient or sympathizing of doctors, that's for sure.

And to be fair, I doubt Damien is an easy patient either.

Oh, my ! That's so fucking beautiful...

"It's vulking unfair that I can't even be angry at you for killing me."
*smiles* That's so Damien

His eyes had a glazed look that grew faraway. "You're so beautiful...." When the priest's hand dropped, it left a trail of warm blood on the Hunter's face.
*shudders*

haunting line.


Though not human and incapable of human thoughts and feelings, that night.. those born of demons and fae alike felt the hollowness of something irrevocably lost.


Pity them for they have no tears to shed.

Allright, you've slayed me. Those last lines are so poetic and cutting. Beautiful.

"It's vulking unfair that I can't even be angry at you for killing me." *smiles* That's so Damien

I have to admit that that line and image was very vivid in my mind. I didn't need to coax it out of Damien, he provided it.
