*SIGH* But sad....
I know. And . . . and . . .
You know what's funny about this? I wrote the underlying story in response to one of your stories, because it left me thinking, Oh, poor Oriya, it's a gorgeous story but poor Oriya, someone should do something to cheer him up!" If I'm remembering correctly, xandria had exactly the same reaction, although her approach to the cheering-up was different.
And now I feel like we are, collectively speaking, the scary and benevolent fairies in some story, dueling over the fate of some poor mortal. Or like Athena, Hera and Aphrodite messing with the fates of the Greek and Trojan heroes. I adore this story, and even so, there's part of me that's tempted to pick pieces up again from here and, well, I'm not sure what, but I bet I could find something.
Because, poor Oriya! Someone should do something to make him feel better!
And then, of course, it would be someone else's turn to make him feel worse again. It's a hard life, being the beloved of capricious goddesses.
