Amazing, every word painted a wonderful picture, I'm truly stunned. Thank you!

[nuetronorange.livejournal.com]

And of course the picture is beautiful too.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

Thanks so much! I like writing mood pieces like this when artwork inspires me. -D

I like your story very much. I had to read it a second time with my dictionary, because my english understanding leaves a lot to be desired.
As nuetronorange said, a wonderful word painting for which I had the honor to do the artwork.
I hope we can sometime work together again.

Awww, this is just beautiful, both, story and artwork. You really cauptured the melancholic but hopeful ambiance of the picture with your words.

[danceswithgary]

I'm glad you liked it and I'd love to work with you again sometime! Thanks!

I loved working with the art - it lived in my dreams last night so that the words arrived this morning. Thanks for letting me know you liked it!

Very beautiful and so very tight. There's a lot of impact of impact in just those few words.

You shiver and you pace away the night chill until bone-deep weariness turns fanciful and the balcony takes on the lines of a widow's walk suspended high above the sea, and you shake your head in amused self-mockery. Just lovely.

Thanks so much! I love knowing when a phrase resonates with someone, especially when I'm writing for visualization.

*Happy sigh* You have such a way with words. I love the way the fic fits with the lovely pic. I can see John as the ship captain and it really works for me to see Rodney waiting and worrying through the night for John to return to him.

Great job to both of you!

My, I love how you say so much with so few words. The emotions that you mange to convey are amazing. A beautiful piece.

Thanks! I do love playing with language. :-D

I read this before when you originally posted it but I didn't leave a comment then because I wasn't sure what to say. So I'm leaving one now because I am comment spamming all your stories today. lol

Seriously, the reason I didn't leave a comment before was because I couldn't think of any way to say how breathless this one left me. You really out did yourself with it and I just can't put into words anything that would make sense. Instead, I'll just have to say "Good one" and leave it at that. Because it is.

This is a good one!

I love the comment spamming, you're making me smile.

A simple 'I liked it' is always welcome and I appreciate you returning to let me know you enjoyed this. Thanks so much!

I love that you've caught such a strong sense of emotion in so few words. Beautiful piece!

[danceswithgary]

Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed this - I love working on this type of piece. :-D
