Fernald! We're so proud of you! And it's so sad about Beatrice and Bertrand.
Im loving every second of this. I wonder how you're going to make Esme evil when she seemed so nice now?

Thank you, Jenny and May, for your reviews! Jenny: I would have loved it if "Anywhere" had been included on the In the Shadows album. Not only is it my favorite Esnald song, but it would have meant thirteen chapters rather than twelve. May: My original intention was to show Esme's transformation, but then I realized there isn't going to be enough time since there are only going to be four more chapters. However, that doesn't mean I don't have big plans for this fic.

Olaf is plain evil, though it was expected that he'd force her to have an abortion, like it was her fault. I think Esme would be jealous of Beatrice for having a baby, and would cause her to hate children, yet still adopt Carmelita. It's ironic how she has a rivalry with Bruce, too- maybe she felt sorry for Carmelita.

Violet, I love your idea regarding Esme's reason for hating children. It's a very observant opinion, and I don't believe I've ever considered it being a possibility before. Your idea behind Esme's reason for adopting Carmelita is also something I've never thought of. Bravo to you for that one as well. Would you mind if I used your ideas in In the Shadows or any fanfics I do in the future? I'd be sure to give you credit.

Don't worry, May. I'll see to it that this story goes out with a bang.

If it's anything like all your other fics then that's a definite attribute.

Chapter nine will be up eventually, guys. I'm currently working on a collaboration for an unrelated fandom with a friend of mine, as well as a one-shot. But do not despair-- I have no intention of letting In the Shadows fall by the wayside.

This, as with all of Sasha's art that I've seen so far, is absolutely wonderful--it's really how I pictured the scene from the first chapter, right down to Olaf's big coat and Esmé's much plainer clothes. Just amazing.

Thanks so much, Sasha. Yeah, I suppose it would come as a shock to Esme that Olaf actually has a mother. And the "spawn of Satan" comment made me laugh. I look forward to seeing the next illustration, and know it will be fabulous.
