I remember reading it as it was being updated. It does stick with you. I found myself about thinking about it not too long ago. Its one of my favorite Original tics. Top 5. AHLICE is amazing.
Ahh I'm so glad to see a review on this, AHLICE is one of my dear friends and I remember when she was writing this story, and you're right when you say it still sticks with you even after you've read it. I would recommend everything she has written~
