WOW. This is breathtakingly beautiful and heartbreakingly sad. You write fantastically.

Your story "Birth of a Mantra" was the first story here to leak tears from my eyes only minutes ago. But then I find this, and it's the first to leave me openly weeping under the impact of the stark imagery of your words, which eloquently paint such raw tragedy and grief. Such contrast between the beauty of your writing and the ugliness of the reality it tells. You truly are talented.

I love you. That's all. I love you. What a gifted writer you are! I promise not to faun over every story, but, dear goodness, woman, you are incredible!

My goodness, Z! This was fantastic, but very dark and painful. It brought tears to my eyes.

I see you've been a busy bee with your fics. I shall read them all tonight and give you reviews. :D

I'm trying to hate you. Really I am. I have absolutely no idea how something so short could reduce me to puddle of sobby goo. But this was so beautiful! I'm going to get more tissues...

I read this ages ago and have been meaning to leave a review for quite some time.

I love this, it's beautiful and haunting, and your use of the bold and italic fonts is rather powerful. Your imagery, as always, is beautiful and delightfully creative. I love your metaphors, it baffles me how you create such things.

And you quoted Macbeth, that is a win in my books. I love Macbeth, especially it's passages regarding the meaning of life.

Well done

this is beautiful, heart wrenching and poignant. Your words always evoke so much emotion - I am torn between sadness for Tony, grief for Ziva and anticipation at who will be the next victim of your muse.

Wow that was really sad, I am excited to see where you do take this now though. Love your writing so much.

Oh, Zaedah, you are wicked. And wonderful.

This is beautiful in its agony. I can feel Tony's heart being ripped out of his chest. And oh, that imagery as Ducky "slices her open. Peels her back." Wow. Gruesome. And marvelous.

I hesitate to say it, but...more please?

Gosh... that ominous quote... but I'm curious to know what will happen next... ;)

Sad :(

Beautifully composed.

This is so artistic.

It grabbed me. It was beautiful and heartbreaking. And it made me cry like a little girl halfway through.

I sometimes struggle with your writing because of the many sophisticated words, but I have never regretted reading any of your stories, no matter how long it took to work through a chapter.
