hee hee.
BN/NRxo!

I so love these TEAMS together. And I cannot wait until Fi and Dani gather to join forces against the Men in Black. No one will be left standing!

[brokenroots]

They are awesome together.

I think there is no end of possibilities with these two teams together. And once Dani and Fi get started, everyone is going to wish they never had, lol.

[bets_cyn]

hee whether it is shoes, fashion, men in black, vague answers.... the two of them can kick serious arse together and the boys will be left wondering what the hell they started. :-)

...
and if they can figure out ways to undo it

[brokenroots]

Yeah, they can. And I'm sure that the boys are going to regret the day the two of them ever met. ;)

I think they may end up agreeing on a stand down or a retreat.

oh the delicious possibilities of Dani and Fi vs. the Boys. And really Dani, Jeanette(if she joins the fun), Fi and Maddie v. the Boys. No broken X chromosome will be left standing. The victories shall be immense and so shall the spoils. And the losers shall never understand what hit them and their plans and realizations of how everything went so wrong shall be way way too late.

[brokenroots]

Lol. Yes, when the two of them get together and gang up on the boys... It would be even better with Jeanette running around, and Maddie already manipulates the boys... Oh, boy. It's going to get ugly.

:)

[goodisrelative]

Not ugly... just even the playing field and give the Ladies a step up in the war. :-)

[brokenroots]

Well, it'll be shoes and designer dresses so the outfits will be pretty but the war will be ugly. :)

I don't watch Burn Notice, but I am seriously intrigued by this fic. I can't wait to see how you weave Dani into it. Good start.

[brokenroots]

Burn Notice is a pretty good show. I think you'll enjoy how Dani gets brought in. :)

More tomorrow. :)

Holy shit, what a start! On the one hand, omg -- I can't believe you didn't post this one to the NR comm until just now, because it's been missing from my life for three whole weeks! On the other hand, it's complete, so I can happily just burn right through it. =D

What a start! Touchy Mike, prickly Nico, involved Sam who objected to the 'not friends' comment -- because I do so like Sam's distinction between 'a buddy of his' and friends... Plus, as much fun as Mike is having with seeing Nico while he cuts Sam to the quick, I can only imagine Fi's levels of glee; half of Nico's comments sound like versions of what she'd say to Sam. ;)

Pity that early s4 means no Jesse. I know he's not to everyone's tastes, but wow he'd be a nice shot of extra mayhem.

[brokenroots]

I'm bad that way. I tend to forget things like comms if I'm updating daily. Having it complete is kind of fun, though, you get it all at once, no waiting and no extended time with any of my cliffhangers. :)

I loved the idea of Sam and Nico being old SEAL buddies and all the complexity that gave them. They have such different personalities, but bonds get formed in that kind of work that aren't easily broken. Fi has a lot of fun, though, with this friendship and their "war stories." :)

Jesse does have a part in this, but he doesn't come in until later...

[dacian_goddess]

Haha, true; unless, of course, I respect the spirit of the cliffhanger and give myself a break between chapters just to get that omgwhatnext feel. I mean, you went through all that trouble to cliff, I might as well give it a bit of a hang. ;D

Mm, having Nico and Sam being old SEAL buddies gives the two canons a really good connection, and Nico an excellent backstory given what few bits of Sam's past they've revealed. And while Nico's wick is particularly short when this fic is set, in a different environment they might do some of their best work due to their glaringly different personalities. (Man this is fun to contemplate!)

[brokenroots]

Well, that's dedication, pausing to give the cliffhangers time to stew...

It does. :) Nico's a lot like Mike in some ways, and Mike and Sam work very well together with their opposite personalities...

It was so much fun to set up it was almost a shame to come to the end (but everything has to end.)
