Just. Oh.

Oh. I want to repeat/second/underline what everyone's already said here. It's Asimov and Bradbury and Iron Man and everything all rolled together. Oh, man, I'm always a little skeptical about second person narration but you've made it work. It makes it more effective, that we-as-readers are there with her, seeing through her eyes even as she sees through someone else's, someone she doesn't know, and never knew (but someone whom we're very familiar with). I love the gradual revelation of the fact that it's a Pepper!clone- yes, as [livejournal.com profile] gabby_silang said, very Bradbury, to hold back on that sort of information until the final moments. Lovely, just lovely. And so heartbreaking.

This is what fandom is about. This kind of creativity, testing the walls and seams of the universe. Thank you so much!
