Although, interesting; I don't think of this story as having an utter despair point, and I think it's because I've read it so many times. (After I've seen things get better a few dozen times, the bad parts are less hurty.) I'm trying to remember what my initial reaction was to it, and, well, I can't. Too long ago. But I think it was a lot more disturbed; I do remember clicking away from it for a couple days at one point, which isn't common for me with Dira's stories but is my standard defense against distressing or overwhelming fic.
*thoughtful*
I wish I did a better job of recording my initial reactions to stories.

And while I'm at it, I'd like a pony.
