I'd not judge the merits of your writing on the number of comments/reviews you have, truly. Fandom has noticeably dwindled (a lot of people jumped ship to Star Trek forex) and unfortunately it's inevitable for a fandom who's canon is done and dusted, without episodic updates to keep snatching people's interest back.

But yeah, the rate-down was a shitty move and I don't blame you at all for being pissed about that. Please don't let one asshat ruin it for everyone else, or for yourself; I know you want to tell this story as much as I want to read it <3

Okay, now that's out of the way...
HOMG ROR IS BACK YAY! (I'm such a deep and considered commenter, har) I am very, very glad to see him again, the note he left just about broke me. Now for the delicious aftermath :D

children pawing at blood, swallowing it away, frosted by snow that never stops falling; shaking apart bones in a dirty yard, more bones than a single body can hold, some small and some large, and they take and take until all he's left with is the heat of fire and the sound of wind through hollow chimes and the memory of a bloody Cheshire smile, teeth rattling like death's head beetles crawling through his walls.

This is creepy as hell. Awesome.
