A part of me is crying for Eric, but another part of me is jumping up and down in glee at the way you've inverted Sookie's dream, and balanced out their effect on one another. I think it's brilliant.
I've been reading too many posts on message boards now, comparing the bullet-sucking incident to rape, or brutal violation, but I think that just overlooks how Sookie is not all-vulnerable to Eric and his blood; how the blood operates in her is her doing, because I don't see Lafayette having sex dreams about Eric; there's a high degree of mutuality involved in what occurs with the bond that I think a lot of people are choosing to ignore.
"Eric," she gasps out, and "Eric," he hears behind them, this peculiar accent, this level voice he knows so well.
Godric and Sookie becoming one person in his dream. Oh, Fan. LOVE.
