This comment is perfect, because you've hit right on a lot of the things I desperately want to do with this story, and so I'm very happy right now. That you're so absorbed in Erik's POV is really the point for me - we're so close to him it's hard not to empathise with him even when he's in the wrong (or at least I hope so.)

I have to admit that the diamond/pearl metaphor is one of my personal favourites. It works on a lot of levels (and people keep finding more I hadn't thought of yet!) so I'm glad you liked it :3 And that you're finding the negative space works too - it's a big part of what I aim for in my style, because I like to think the reader is smart enough to read between the lines and see the things that I've left out, and make them more powerful but not acknowledging them.

It's one of the things I love so desperately about the art you've done for this fic - the way you've used monochrome and space and composition is simply inspiring. I hope that the end of the fic (which is coming up next week if all goes to plan) is satisfying for you the way your art is for me!
