wow....

So, I read this whole series called Retail Therapy by All_the_damned_vampires, and I'm reccing it with a warning that it has *all* the warnings, and rightly so. It's the kind of story that will make you ask, "Why, Miz Roze? You know you are an enormous weenie - how did you read this???"

I don't even know! It gave me a stomach ache every time I read it! I had to read it backwards because it was that intense! I'm almost as bad as the Jared in that story when it comes to Hurt/No Comfort stories like this, I just beat myself up! I'm forever clicking and yelping - I should create a comm and call it OMG, roxy clicked on a squick and loved it anyway

If you like torture, emotional manipulation, mind control, rape--and that's just the first date--this might be the thing for you. The enormous plus is that the writing is quick, very smart and a pleasure to read just *because* it is so well written, and lord knows stories like that feel like they are few and far between. It's also pretty darn horrible, no kidding--nobody is a good guy, not at all, but some of them think they are...you just have to read it to get it. Not for the faint of heart, oh boy, if your heart is like mine.

That is just *fandom life*, bb. Fandom life.

We should get that tattooed. In big, Old English letters. On our bellies! Whooo!

I love, love, love this series!!!!!

And you are spot on as to why it's so fantastic and horrible and OH, god why am I reading this and please give me more and I both loved and hated the way part 3 ended and I need the next story right now, damn!!!

I'm just about to re-read it for the 2nd time and try to read slower and savior each and every word and hopefully by the time I finish, part 4 will be getting posted and that would just make me the happiest girl in the universe.

It took me forever to read, between wincing and backing out, and sneaking up on it, but I just had to keep reading, mostly just to find out if Jared survived or not! She has a way of pulling you into the fic whether you want to be pulled in or not. Kudos on some excellent writing skills, lol! It's quite the ride, but man, I'm not sure that's one I can reread, lol!
