GIP and tweakage

[ainigma]

I've had my original "Tease" icon from the beginning. It was the first icon I made. It's always been part of my LJ identity. When I finally made a second "Tease", I intended to let it be my new default icon (at least for a time). Then I realized that if I did that, it would move the original one from its place of honor at the top of my user pics

::winces:: Oh hell, is this reply late! You couldn't have known this but I've been away from LJ since the beginning of November. I'm not actually "back", for that matter, but I had to tell you that I did find this.

Thank you for my drabble! I like how tactile it is, each touch always against something inanimate, in lieu of the other person. Viggo, placidly riding out Elijah's storm. Elijah, running out of steam in the wake of Viggo's conviction and, perhaps unexpectedly, his apology.

Viggo hears the long textured rush of fabric against the door and knows Elijah's slid down.

That's my favorite line. Viggo knows where Elijah is and what he's doing by the sound he makes. Most importantly, he can hear Elijah's body position. It tells him that Elijah's on the verge of giving in, because if he were going to keep railing, he'd try to open the door. I love that kind of subtle indication.

When you didn't hear from me, you must have thought I didn't like the drabble and that certainly wasn't the case. I just hope you weren't too discouraged by the wait for your well-earned feedback. I'm glad you went back to this pairing for me. ::smiles::
