I loved this. Sorry, I had to comment to say that. XD

J is mostly reactionary in this piece but his presence is still strong throughout it, not to mention Dimitri's presence. She's a force of nature, and her reactions to J were raw and heartbreaking.

And there her throat closes down, because while she can wring out the words under other circumstances, My wings wwere cut off, she will not say them here, not to him.

Gaaah.

She deserves all the hugs.

... and tequila.
