*chin wobbles*
Oh dear. *hands over kleenex*

because obviously you two just ENJOY torturing me!
Bwahahaahaha! Ha! Ha ha! Ha! Heh... Hee... *cough* No. Absolutely not. We'd never do that to you!

(what are you guys, pygmies?)
*G* When they chase after you as much as they have been, you start to study their ways, attempt to get around them. Perhaps they're rubbing off on us? ^_~

I'm running out of ways to say how much I love this.
Aww. Thanks! It's always appreciated.

I love the slow playing out of events, the shifting observances, (very deftly handled, btw) and most especially the intense, charged, and very messed up relationship between Vig/Sean.
Oh, thank you so much. We're having a ball writing this, which is great, and it's icing on the cake to know that other people are pleased by it too.

I'm making sure I have a tank of oxygen in the house just in case they have a wild, angry, passionate fuck have sex in these letters.Sex? In these letters? Surely to god, no! *shocked* Puritanical to the core, I tell you. There will be no ( ... )

All right, I surrender. You've got me. I thought I was an Viggo/Orli type, but after this--wow. Sean's anger, and more importantly, Viggo's response. Just, wow. I think what I liked best, out of a long list of things, it that Viggo's response here seems so in character--so easy for me to utterly believe. There is this wellspring in him of deep calm--he's not the sort to be easily flustered by emotional outbursts--or at least, it's so easy for me to imagine him that way.

wow. might be more coherent later, but wow.

That, I fear, I can take no credit for. savageseraph wrote 99.9% of his dialogue in this scene (and likewise, I wrote Sean's -- we did some RPing of the two of them, since it's a pivotal point in the story). I just filled in the details. I'll have to make sure she knows how much you liked him. ^_^

Thank you!

You know, I read it this morning; but I couldn't think of any other words to relay how much this segment bites. I don't know how you can write a piece that makes me go "Aaw" but at the same time feel like I've been punched in the gut. I guess the word I'm looking for is powerful, yeah, that's it. And it being seen through Dave's eyes is a nice way to present it. Plus, I never noticed that he "thought" in no caps, kind of unique.

*blush* Thank you so much. Of course, I don't think it'd go off nearly so well as it is without savageseraph. Bloody brilliant person to bounce off of, I must say. And I'm so glad you're enjoying this, even through the gut-wrenching pain. ^_^

*G* Thanks. I'm happy the choice of perspective came off all right. And the lack of caps? Ergh. Drives me nuts, but it seems to fit, so...

Thank you for your lovely comments!

Beautifully crafted. Incredible tension and understatement.
*G* Thanks. Seems savageseraph and I work well together -- As I was saying to hederahelix, Barb wrote all of Viggo's lines in this scene.

And when Dave reveals a wonderfully brilliant emotional knowledge that just sings here. Incredible choice of narrative pov for this scene.
Thank you! *jumping up and down* That's so kind of you to say! I'm glad the choice of POV came off so well.

Oh my goodness. This is so dreadfully beautiful. Poor hysterical brokenhearted despairing Sean. On top of just having that awful divorce, he has THIS to emotionally cope with. I shouldn't talk as if it is really happening/has happened, because you have made it all up... you HAVE, haven't you?

The writing in this and the 'understanding' is beyond praise... Thank you.
