Give it to me straight – if it's going to take me forever to read and comment on something you wrote especially for me, I do not deserve it. My most sincere apologies for being such a git!
That said, I appreciate this format a lot. The people who wrote the series were all delirious on drugs, we've established that before – with all the bollocks they did manage to cram into the 49 episodes, they somehow forgot to include the scenes of little Jiao and his pregnant mother. A very poignant piece; the sacrificed colony finally gets a face – a cheerful and innocent one at that. I love the light-hearted exchanges between the boy and his mother. All the more devastating to know the bright spark of their lives are obliterated for the sake of WaffleTron. Ouch.
Master (As Insane As The Day Is) Long had better brought a shitload of Hell Bank Notes to make sure his unwillingly/unwittingly sacrificed clansmen can take care of themselves in the Chinese Afterlife. *growls* But on a happier note, it would be preposterous to assume Wu Fei's honourable "It is up to me; I'll decide what integrity is," would not haunt him to the end of his days after the wars finally end. Hurray! You've done not only the series and the poor people living in the L5 cluster colony, but also the possibility of Wu Fei's further character development justice! \(^O^)/
Thank you, E, for this fic. *hugs and smooches you*
