Wow, this is really beautiful! I love the conflict within the woman, and her reaction to her rescuers. Really breaks that steryotypical fairy tale feel.

This is great - your character is so human. We see her flaws, like leaving her wingmate's body so she could take her food, and not immediately being grateful to her rescuers - but that selfless gesture at the end 'redeems' her. Wonderful

Well done

It was a good tie in, and it demonstrated human nature well. Once with the complete disregard for anything but food, and the humanitarian side.
My only complaint is that it was too short! I think you could have done alot more...o well.
Maby a follow up?

Its easy to forget in the thriller epic backdrop of Star Wars that war is hell. Here we see the rebellion not as heroic, nor the empire as pure evil. I can really see into the character, and its wonderful to see a story that covers the shades of gray between the empire and the rebelion.

Very interesting fic. You really delved deep into what it would be like as a POW in that situation. No glorifying the rescue either. Very creative & refreshingly different choice of topic also. Good job!

I liked it a lot, especially the description of the rescuer's face.
I think I know where you got your inspiration.
See, I was listening when you told me I should comment on stories that I read.

First, let me tell you that I loved this work! Well written, very in-depth, transcendent in nature...

Secondly, choosing Mozart's Lacrymosa for a title was a brilliant move on your part, considering its tie to his death (he died as he was writing Lacrymosa). It really shows that you know your stuff!

Absolutely brilliant in its eloquence and poignancy. You capture so much in such a small space, and do it so very well. The situation and the characters are given such depth, such humanity, that the reader is left aching for them - all of them. Beautifully done in every way.

So vividly dreary, I can almost feel the rain and the squelch of mud -- and stop to be thankful I can't *really* come near imagining the constant chill and hunger and illness and exhaustion. Excellent use of detail, tactile and the choices made, the stormtroopers ceasing to strut "as the damp set in" as if they got soggy, physically and spiritually.

It felt very real, the bit about expecting to be human again, but not feeling she was. Not caring, and yet caring enough to feel ashamed.

And the blanket, I think, says several different things -- to the reader, and to its recipient. Kindness and yet a reminder.
