Ooooh, love it! Nice little idea, well put together. I love that Sam and Gene are really living together to the extent that Gene even puts his shirts in Sam's washing basket - so sweet - and I'm all gooey here at the idea of their toothbrushes and their razors together.

I do tend to think that a relationship like Gene and Sam would always be an open secret - ie everyone knows but it's never publicly acknowledged. That's actually probably the safest for them, because their team will protect them to a certain extent, as long as they know there is something they need protecting about. If that makes sense.

Thank you hon! I think it's possibly more of a regular stop-over arrangement than actual living together - with lots of hot sex, of course - not that they'd be able to stand being apart for too long! And maybe Annie's discovery can be the first part of the team learning the truth about the Boss and the Guv, with a sort of silent dissemination to follow. Or summat like that.

I'm just happy to have made you go gooey!

I like how you write Annie here. She's not a drama queen, she doesn't scream or shout, she just examines her feelings privately, puts on a brave front, which is sad but I think you've got it spot on.

I have to agree with dorsetgirl about Sam and Gene, how lovely it is that they're living together.. how adorable!

[fawsley]

I like Annie being wise and unselfish and very realistic, ready to take what life throws at her and make the best of it. Even if that does mean the Guv boffing the bloke she had her eye on. But believe me, Annie, it's a whole damn sight hotter like that!

Glad you enjoyed their mutual moment of discomfort!

Can I just say you are a fic writing machine - how do you do it, you must have bunnies in the brain all the time.

I love the panic shown by Gene and Sam here and thought it was wonderful of Annie to give them the breathing space they need. She is a tremendously sympathetic character and the way you caught her was brilliant.

[fawsley]

how do you do it, you must have bunnies in the brain all the time.

Yes. I am totally bunny-infested. And you know that Real Life thing? I don't do that. Never liked it, can't be bothered. Writing slash is far far more preferable. The sex is pretty good too.

I've never really written women before so Annie is a new departure for me. I'm still not very sure of her, but because as you say she's such a sympathetic character it isn't as hard as it first looked unlike Gene's cock.

A fantastic look at Annie - I love the way that she just slowly lets go of Sam in that one little moment as the realization dawns and she heads down with them, and the fact that Gene and Sam are likely well aware that she knows, and yet no one is going to speak of the elephant in the center of the room... Fantastic job - wow, the fics just keep coming!

[fawsley]

I wanted to write Annie being hurt but massively strong so as to overcome that almost immediately and to realise that she has gained something as much as lost from the realisation that Sam and Gene are most definitely an item. Good to know that it worked for you.

the fics just keep coming!
Yes. I'm rather worried about this and hope it isn't getting annoying. My brain doesn't function particularly well due to health reasons, but when it comes to slash something clicks and the cogs all whir. Slam me up against the filing cabinet if it gets all too much, won't you?

[duckyone]

Oh I really liked this. You didn't turn Annie into a jealous harpy. She was shocked and disappointed but she handled it maturely.

I also loved how you wrote Sam and Gene's mute horror at maybe being found out.

I hope you keep up the writing pace because I'm loving your stories.

Thank you!

[fawsley]

I'd hate Annie to go all harpyish so wanted to give her a positive moment of realisation. With Sam and Gene scuffing their toes in the sand like the naughty little boys they are.

I hope you keep up the writing pace
Oh dear. See above. I'm getting very worried now. Trouble is that I have very little in the way of short-term memory due to holes in the brain so if I get an idea I have to write it straight away or it's lost for good. Making notes is no good - can never remember what the hell I meant when I read them back. So I'm afraid that you're just going to have to put up with the bunnies until they tire themselves out@

PS: have friended you - hope this is ok...

[duckyone]

Yay! I was going to ask if I could friend you.
