Oh dear god, there is more soulbonding-verse fic. I loved the first one so much (I may secretly go back from time to time and read it when I am having a bad day) that - gah, how did I not know about this sooner - I think I should friend you. May I friend you? (she asks formally)
For something that's so clearly an AU, this felt so true to life -- probably because I suspect we were both replaying the Informe Robinson bits with all the attendant detail in our heads. I love, btw, that we now know how Emili looks, moves and talks, and that it somehow PERFECTLY matches how you wrote him in the first fic. (I think tiny Emili is superfabulous.) But unemotional little Andres talking about the worst pain he'd ever felt, with so little visible through the halfsmile on his face and yet it being so obvious to us all how awful the whole ordeal was, and then Victor talking about how much he wanted to take it all away from him -- it all came through in the fic. Especially in the scene where Andres haltingly begins to lay out the nature of his dolor -- it's SO him. He doesn't embellish, he doesn't elaborate, he doesn't really do emotion, but it's ALL THERE.
(And I've expressed a variant on this sentiment before, but knowing that something I worked on was at least a bit useful in helping to create your fic -- that is not just a feeling of usefulness, but the best form of "repayment" ever! Gah. I am so happy now. I now feel like my existence is at least a little bit worthwhile.)
In conclusion. Anything you want to write about the soulbonding - man, i didn't even talk about how amazingly you write that whole concept, but YOU DO, OKAY, with the autoknowing and the blocking out and the feeling adrift when blocked and - yes, anything you want to write about that, I will read. (Also, anything about Andres and Victor playing with baby Dylan. That too.) This was awesome. Awesome awesome awesome.
