Part 3 of
The Harry Series. I don't write Aeryn well; this is not my favorite one little bit; but I was quite proud of writing dialogue that fit certain characters and that people were able to figure that out without dialogue tags... so, that was the major accomplishment of this story.

And, as cliche as it is, I like the Terrace. When used properly and not in a heavy handed sort of way.

That and I liked the whole idea of somehow incorporating something a friend told me when I asked what she was doing for dinner: "I'll be having the 'your ass is too fat Lean Cuisine frozen entree."
Some of my most inspired stories come from conversations like that!
But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath
a heavy reckoning to make ...
... I am afeard there are few die
well that die in battle; for how can they
charitably dispose of any thing, when blood is their
argument? Now, if these men do not die well, it
will be a black matter for the king that led them to
it; whom to disobey were against all proportion of
subjection. - Henry VA Heavy Reckoning -
