ok.. you have my attention!
I’ll have to keep reading now!
Great work.

I like it, Rae. You caught my attention with your first “Still Waters” ficlet, but I’m gonna have to go through and read this, too. Aside from a few grammatical qualms, it’s solid, and your use of vocabulary is very good. In particular: “…woven from the finest threads of hatred…” really stood out to me as very cool stuff.
