I don't understand why it was necessary to use Avada Kedavera to stop Tara. Wouldn't stunning her have done just as well?
That said, it was an interesting idea.

It's a 'retelling' of My Immortal and deals with insanity.
And is the best interpretation of "My Immortal" I have ever come across. Thanks for the share!
Oh, wow. That's...really well done, actually. It could have been done a little better, and maybe used a beta reader and some expansion, but the writing itself was pretty good, and the *idea*...wow. Pretty dark, but...wow. I love the concept.
Thanks for sharing!
...let me add this one, because it's hilarious: http://archiveofourown.org/works/524858/chapters/928907
Are they still updating it? Because it needs to be finished.
It does need to be finished, but the author has unfortunately not updated in the month or so that I've been checking...which means, not since September, going by the date on the story. But there's still hope! Or at least, we can still have hope! With luck, we will even get an update this year :)
...very soon this year, I hope, seeing as there's rather a lot of this year left to go...

I'll follow it.
It's essentially Tara telling her story with more coherent SPaG and Jennifer saying oh dear from time to time. I would have spent more time on Jennifer herself. Also, the ending feels a bit rushed. But the idea is nice.

I agree about the Killing Curse--it seems rather violent for a Healer, not to mention against the law and, assuming Healers have anything like the Hippocratic Oath, I'm pretty sure it would go against that, too. Tara could still perhaps have been saved...or maybe an exorcism could have been found to get rid of Ebony?
As I said before, in my opinion it's a very well-done story, which could, with a little editing, be absolutely amazing in every way.
Dear Merlin, it all makes sense now...
Why in Aeldra's name did we not notice this sooner?
Also a bit deppressing, but it's set in a mental ward, so what was I to really expect?
