Octavia has something she needs to say. It's something she's needed to say for some time. Something that isn't easy for her to say, but something that must be said all the same. On her latest visit to an old friend, she decides to finally get it off her chest.

*some water escapes from my eyes* Hm? Oh sorry.... just some feels.

Wow... That was powerful. Great work!

That was a pretty good read. A few bits hit a bit close to home, but it just made it more meaningful a read.

Far as Octavia stories go, this was wonderful. Short, but wonderful.

It seems that we both like to make Octavia's life miserable...

It's an interesting deconstruction of their relationship – they are so often depicted as a happy couple that people forget how toxic such relationship can be...

Thank you kindly.

Thanks, man. The concept came to me a couple months back. Probably could have benefited from being a bit longer, but oh well.

She just works so well as a sad or tragic character, for some reason.
Yeah. As much as I love this ship, it does have some inherent problems. Usually, I just characterize them away, but, well, sometimes....

Maybe it's because, as I love to note in my fics, she has sad, mulberry eyes (well, actually I used the word "mulberry" in only two fics)

Yeah, it's sometimes amazing how exactly the same traits (i.e. Berry Punch's alcoholism) can be played for comedy and for drama...

When I saw the cover art for this fic, my mind went to this pic...

I thank you for writing this. This story... Well... It finds a special place in my heart, in between the memories. Thank you.

You're quite welcome, as I'm always glad to be of service.

Motley Crue's song 'Without You' comes to my mind.

...How exactly did Vinyl die? I'm genuinely curious.
