Oh my god, what a GLORIOUS SURPRISE!!!!! This is so perfectly in keeping with the canon and so in character!!! They’re both so worried and desperate! The dark claustrophobia looming around the edges of their convo!! The yearning of being so far apart but how it gives them both courage to speak!!! I love this so much I’m a little giddy, what a perfect fix for one of my favorite stories.
I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. My useless finger managed to put together something halfway coherent, SORRY I'M SO SORRY - and then I was interrupted. Gus hadn't waited for a STOP.
TOO FAR AWAY ALREADY COULDN'T BEAR IT STOP
I felt as if all my strings had been cut. My eyes filled at once, my whole spine went weak - I think I only just managed not to faint dramatically onto the Eddystone.
OH GUS STOP
NEXT ROOM WOULD BE TOO FAR STOP
Jack and I both swooning right now oh my godddd. Seriously, thank you so much for such a gorgeous delightful gift, it’s definitely one I will come back to over and over again.
:DDDDDD ♥ ♥ ♥ Aw, man, I don't even know where to begin—you're welcome??? THANK YOU, honestly, I was so very thrilled to see a request for these two and especially one with such fantastic prompts! TELEGRAPH SEXTS. PERFECTION. ;-; I'm also so grateful for the excuse to canon-review and go back to the book again. ♥ WHICH MEANS I am extra delighted to think this managed to keep the tone of canon despite the divergence, and that their voices felt right even though all the "dialogue" was just telegraph messages, and that I didn't totally blow the creepy atmosphere even though this is such a blatant fix-it! :D \o/
Haha, and I'm so glad that the relief there managed to hit you just as hard as it hit Jack. :D Seriously, I'm just so so glad that you enjoyed this—your request was beyond perfect and I wanted to write you about fifteen things, but I'll settle for having managed to get one of them out in a way that hit the mark for you! ♥
