(I've been really, terribly remiss in fic feed backing!)
These snippets are incredible! The texture, the detail (the throwaway line about Damietta, Newton geekage!) — fngh! See, I'm reduced to incoherency. I love the image of Fleur as a 'hooded hawk' in Reconnection. And, oh god, forcing Nick to aknowledge Janette by beating him at chess?
"If I win this game, you replace one of the white oliphants with a likeness of Janette. We will build up my side one piece at a time."
*flails* I love this to bits!
Fleur attempting to comfort Erica is achingly gorgeous. Recoil? Ouch. The dramatic possibilities of Fleur and Nick striding through the centuries as beautiful vampiric siblings really hit home for me there.
Your writing is beautiful; I know there's so much going on under the surface that I can't quite grasp, because my knowledge of the show extends to only having watched the episodes one or twice (in most cases). But it makes me want to watch everything again, just so can I tease out all of these shiny threads. And all this from an AU based on a character who only appeared in one episode!
I haven't read Fireweed yet (1998! yikes), but I'm certainly going to remedy that.
