Reactions and Reviews
this is a sort of moody quiet futurefic, sort of angsty and saturated with nature imagery. it has an ending which i can believe in, but it calls up several themes without really going anywhere with any of them--i don't meant to imply that was an accident, only that it may be frustrating.
(Yes, I've mentioned this one before, but I don't care. Some fics just deserve our unwholesome worship, and there's nothing we can do but give it.) I started this fully intending to feel righteous indignation and ended up only feeling that Kest got it just right. From now on, this is grown up Will and Bran for me.
