    Aaaaaaah, oh my goodness, thank you so, so much for this incredible fic! I had hardly dared hope I would receive something for this pairing, but I did, and it is so perfect and I love it! The whole thing is so delightful and atmospheric, and your prose is lovely and clean while still being evocative. Your characterisations of both of them are pitch-perfect, too, and I love how sensible and practical and competent Cassandra is, and how her connection to Estrella is still so palpable, how Estrella still knows she can trust her, even when she hasn't technically met Cassandra yet. The timey-wimey-ness of Cassandra telling Estrella the location of the retreat was incredible, too. I love the way you've portrayed the warmth and trust of their relationship, and how their being together in the present is just so inevitable and lovely. These lines in particular stuck out to me:

    She wants to think it can’t be, but it is. Cassandra woke up next to those dark eyes this morning, nearly a century on and unchanged.

    She steps closer to Estrella, inside the bubble of space that Estrella leaves with anyone who isn’t Cassandra. The bubble she used to leave with anyone who wasn’t family.

    Cassandra doesn’t officially live at the Vida de la Luz retreat. Not officially, even though most of her clothing and books have made it through the doorway, one evening at a time.

    Thank you so much again for this fic, I adore it! <3

      I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I was excited to get a chance to write for them -- I loved the ep and it was great having a reason to explore them together.

      I hope you had a great Femslashex, too! :)
