You've thought of everything re: the world building: the pomes/aphorisms/maxims of the day at the start of each chapter, framing and preparing the reader for what is to come; the fact that you're making the characters think and react to their circumstance... it's just everything.

Normally, I tend to flinch at slave fic, because a lot of writers tend to romanticise it, but I'm glad that I've read this, because you're actively engaging the reader and turning this genre on its ear.

This fic is just brilliant. Thanks for writing.
