I'm not a fan of angel/devil comparisons, either, to be honest. They remind me of bad romance novels, for some reason. I think this is the first (and so far only) time that cliche (because, oh yes, is it ever cliche) showed up in my writing. I think I probably let it slide because it was such a quick little part, and I didn't go on about his "porcelain beauty and hellish attitude," or somesuch. XP
That little quote, "The louder something is, the quieter I feel I need to be," is really interesting. You see the...I guess you'd call it the visual equivalent, in film sometimes--a large explosion or something, and the audio is dead silent. *is all thoughtful about this way of story-telling now*
I must say, I really appreciate the comments about style. I've been aware for a while now that I actually have a distinctive style, at this point in my writing, but it's rare to get any technical feedback on it, you know? (Not that I expect all that much in fandoms, admittedly--we're all here for fun, anyway. ^^) I guess I'm attracted to minimalism for its conciseness, but often find pure minimalism to be rather bland and boring.
Anyway, much appreciated, and thank you again! And Hungary's such a dear, isn't she? An ass-kicking dear. XD
