A Light in the Darkness

I keep getting such good feedback on this fic that I had to take the time to give you guys a little update and to answer some of the reviews.

Firstly, let me say that, for now anyway, this is a one-shot. But not forever. Part of why I haven't done more on this fic is that I've been working on other projects. And, partially, I was so pleased with how this turned out that I'm afraid that anything that I add to it won't be as good. Although, eventually, I will make a longer chapter fic out of this story. Promise. I just don't know when. Keep and eye on my AFF profile to see what comes and when.

Now, on to the review responses. I'll try to keep this page updated, so if you leave a new review then you can check back here for an answer:

Wow, this one shot was very good. It was like one of those really good commercials that get ya pumped for the movie. Can't wait to see more of this fic, it had my heartstings pulled. :)

Thanks. ETA for the "rest" of the fic (or, the start of it, anyway) is October 2007. Hope you'll enjoy the movie as much as the trailer *LOL*

I'm new but I can honestly say you are one of my favorite authors on this site so far.

Awww, you're making me feel all warm and fuzzy ^-^ Thanks for the complements. I hope you like what I've got planned for the future.

I love all the stories I've read, especially your daemon ones, and I look forward to the continuation of this storyline!

Thanks. Glad you liked them. And I'll get started on the continuation for this one real soon. Promise!

And, on a slightly different note: you're my 300th review! Thanks a bunch!!!!!

This is so good! I don't want it to be a one-shot! DX I wanna know what Laine's planning! X3 I'd love to see the extended version. ^w^

It's not really a one-shot. Promise. And as for what Laine's planning? I would have thought that'd be obvious to anyone who's read my stuff *evil laugh*

I have a few projects (small ones, I swear) to work on and then I've decided to take this one as my next major project. I'll get to it really soon. Cross my heart X The extended version is on the way.

I am soooo very happy to hear that you are planning to add some to this. As i said before the concept is unbelievabley eye catching and your writing style is wonderful. Reading this fic is irresistible! I am looking forward to an update some time in the future, and it's fine even if it isn't as wonderful as the first chapter, though i doubt your worries will prove to be true. I wouldn't be surprised that it will only get better!!!

Stop. You'll make me blush. I have a few projects (small ones) that I have to finish, but then I think I'll work on this one. All of these complements and reviews have convinced me to give Morgan and Laine some more of my time. Hope you're happy ^-^

was he going to kill him or set him free?

Did who intend to set who free? Did Laine intend to set Morgan free or kill him? Neither. He knew that he couldn't let Morgan go, they'd both be caught, but he would never kill him either. He's been sweet on him ever since they first met. Plus, Laine couldn't hurt a fly, let alone kill a nearly helpless man. Or do you mean did Morgan intend to kill Laine or set him free after atacking him? Again, neither. Because Morgan didn't have a plan, or intentions. He's very nearly broken, completely, so he was acting on instinct and nothing else. He never would have killed Laine, I do know that. Otherwise? Like I said, no one really had a plan.

I would really like to see you update this story. ^__^ Laine is such an interesting character, so kind and determined... But poor Laine. To have to go through something like that? Even with the backwash of positive emotions, it still has to be extremely painful. X___X

Yeah, I'm sure it was really hard on Laine. Although, in the long run, I think it'll be harder on Morgan. Laine, more or less, knew what was going on and let it happen (although he surely would have liked Morgan to have been a bit more gentle) because he knew how much Morgan needed to *feel* again. Morgan, on the other hand, was nearly completely broken before he attacked Laine. And it's something that he never would have done under normal circumstances. Anyway, Laine's a tough cookie, so don't worry too much for his sake. Morgan, on the other hand...

hey! i just started reading your stuff and i think i love this one the most. Though i'm really curious to see how laine plans to nix an execution date, hope you decide to continue this in the near future

Later ^^

I will continue this oneday. Promise. And as for Laine's plan? I don't think even he knows *LOL*

I really enjoyed your story! I want, no, I need to see more of it! :o) Your writing style is lovely, as usual, and I am able to enjoy the flow of the story without the obstacles of glaring grammar mistakes (though I wouldn't call myself an anal grammarian, I think we can all agree that stories with standard grammar are a bit easier to read). Anyway, I hope you are still planning to write more. Can't wait!

Need? I'll try to fill that need someday soon. With all the lovely complements I'm sure to feel more inspired now.

supergirlanna: November 19, 2006
OMG! this is off to a wonderful start! Your writing style is great, and the plot line is amazing, please update soon!!!

Thanks!

Ok, you got me hooked... Very compelling start. Can't wait to see where you go with it...

Sorry about getting you hooked and then not continuing it. I will someday, promise.

DrkDreamer: November 18, 2006
A very - VERY - compelling story. Morgan's fear, hatred and need are made real - and Laine's need to help.

I love the description of Laine's empathy with Morgan enhacing his desire and pleasure. (I've read such things before, but this is particularly well done.)

Looking forward to learning about Morgan's 'crimes' - and what Laine will do to stop the execution.

Compelling? That's a first for me in a review. Many thanks.

Glad to hear that you think I did the empathy thing well. I wasn't sure about how it would go when I started the fic. Thanks for making me feel a little better about it.

And, I'll let you in on a little secret. Morgan's crimes aren't half as bad as his punishment. As for Laine? I'm sure he'll think of *something*.

Genie: November 18, 2006
I love it!! But then I love most of your stories.
Hope that you will continue with this story.

Much love for the complements! And I'll continue it someday. Promise.

Taggurit: November 18, 2006
This is the first story of yours I have ever read and it was really good...I don't usually like original stories but I just can't wait to read more ^_^... crazy-broken-guy and caring-must-do-right-thing guy...whats not to like? I'll make sure to check out your other stories if my laziness will allow me.

I don't read original very often either, so that makes two of us *LOL*

Silverdemon: November 18, 2006
This was incredibly awesome. I truly hope there is going to be more. I'd love to know what would happen next. You've created two very intriguing characters here. Definitely have to read more of your work. Thanks for including the links.

Incredibly awesome is good, right? Thanks! And, yes, as I said above, there will be more. Eventually. I figured that everyone could see right through me and would know already what happens next, but I'm glad to find that some of you are held in suspense.

Car Jack: November 18, 2006
This is the first review I've left for any of your stories and I feel that I've neglected you because of this. You have a way of writing that draws the reader into your stories, causing then to actually visualize the scenerio. Keep up the great work and thanks! I loved your new story and wait for more.

Naw, I don't feel neglected. Thanks for reviewing though. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy... as do your complements.
