Gonna go ahead and copy my review from dA over onto here! :P
I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking this: this was one of the single greatest BE stories I have read...pretty much ever. It had a bit of a slow beginning, but it felt natural. The pacing you had throughout the whole story was pitch perfect. There's not much more I can say that I haven't already said before in past installments, other than "bravo" :)
Now for what I liked in this particular part, besides "all of it" :P : Possible SPOILERS for those who haven't read it already.
The dream sequence...just, holy shit that dream sequence. You could not get a much better BE sequence than that. The panic that goes into acceptance is absolutely brilliant and well delivered. It lasted just enough time as well. Also, I know I've told you this already, but I wanna say it publically as well: the scene where Lucy defends herself was probably my favorite in this entire series. It was really refreshing to see this woman who has been getting abused and taken advantage of time and time again finally fighting back.
This was more than just a regular, run of the mill BE story. This was a finely tuned, well crafted, well put together story , something new, exciting, fresh and interesting. There were some very rough scenes to read, the rape scene (from part 5) in particular, but it was tastefully handled and brought a sense of lucidity and realism to the story, even if it was a bit harsh. Sometimes stories like this need some harsh scenes.
There was a sense of drama, suspense, eroticism and intensity that is unparallel to most growth stories out these days, and it something you should be very proud of. I also like the inclusion of the title towards the end. That was a very nice touch as well.
I excitedly await your next story, Sapph. Whatever it shall be, I'm sure it will be an incredible read. :)
