Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

Thanks so much! ♥ I'm really glad that the spaghetti extravaganza here worked for you. I had been wanting to write something along the lines of these for ages so it's awesome to know it worked for you as well. And that the characterizations worked for you as well. :) Also it's good to know that Alistair worked for you as well as I was aiming for him to feel creepy - mostly I never write him because he creeps -me- out in the first place, so it's nice to know the effect was achieved. ;)
