MUSE OF FIRE RESPONSIBLE: M. Fae Glasgow

HAS POOR VILA BEEN DRAGOONED INTO THIS SHITSHOW? —

WHY ARE BLAKE AND AVON DOOMED THIS WEEK? Avon won’t even talk to him about the sex they’re having and their relationship (it turns out because being with Blake is too much of an emotional and physical risk). The end is esp wanky re: this.

EDITOR’S NOTE: none

PROSE: at once better and worse than ususal [sic]

OVERALL: This is actually pretty fair to Blake for once, allowing him to have thoughts and emotions that matter and that are not ridiculous. It’s a fairy visual, evocative piece, and the emotions are kind of interesting (esp. because Blake is allowed to actually exist for once–I SWEAR fic is better, even just for Avon, when Blake is better). I like how long it takes Avon to piece himself back together afterwards. A no-dialogue fic: always annoying.[1]
