I don't read a lot of fic with the AJ characters, but for some reason I decided to click the link when I saw it posted on gyaku_flash. This is now one of my favorite pieces in the fandom. Vera is a character that I can relate to very well, being shy, a daydreamer, kind of dependent, and somewhat artistic. So I love stories where she gains confidence and independence for herself. Her journey here is beautifully told, and I love her friendship with Trucy. A friendship like that is really a beautiful thing. I love that she draws the person she most fears.

Wonderful!
