*squees and hugs you!*

Please, there should be no apologies, because this fic was just excellent. Especially the Sweets characterization, it's by far the best one I've read since I started reading this fandom. I love the way she teases him, obviously knows what affect she's having, and how terrified it makes him. Which of course turns him on. *g* I like that your Cam seems sexually aggressive, because that's how I see her too. Though classy about it of course. :)

Really, I loved this story,and thank you so much for taking on that prompt. Saving to my memes right now.

*hugs you again*

Hey, I'm so glad (what I actually mean here is: relieved) that you liked it because honestly, I freaked out a bit when I read the prompt *g* I'd only written one Bones ficlet before and I'm not even sure I remember Cam and Sweets having a 101 scene in the show. But it was fun to try.

I like that your Cam seems sexually aggressive, because that's how I see her too. Though classy about it of course. :)

*nods* She comes out to me as someone who knows what or who she wants and is rather comfortable about it, even though consequences are not always that comfortable to deal with (remember Angela's ex-husband, Cam?)

Um, and thanks for the rec in your lj *beams*

Yes, exactly. She seems to like inappropriate men quite a bit, doesn't she?

And you're welcome for the rec. It was my pleasure, and thanks again for taking this on, I know it wasn't easy. :)

Angela's ex-husband... it put her in an awkward position *g*

There was a bit of hair-pulling to come up with an idea but to be honest, once I found an approach, it went pretty smoothy.

Oh, how wonderful! I've pretty much given up on reading Bones fanfic these days because I have no interest in anything conventional any longer. And the only ones I am interested in are for pairings that I'm pretty much the only person writing for (curses!) ;)

Anyway, this is my warped way of saying thank you for writing something that is different and original and NOT B/B ;D (Which is no offense to B/B...I just have no interest in them any more)

Okay, so both Cam and Sweets were incredibly IC. You have them both nailed perfectly. I could see and hear them having this conversation. I especially love Sweets' awkwardness. And the way Cam is so bold without being overly obvious about it. I so see her being that way :).

And I especially loved these sentences in particular: It works nonetheless: he swallows hard, actually hearing the sound of his throat working. He’s supposed to be good at this, good at reading the body language and evaluate it, but he finds himself caught in it, floored by the odd interest she’s showing for him.

I'm flattered you found this interesting enough to give it a try :D

The amount of fics about central and/or canon pairings can sometimes be a bit... overwhelming. In my main fandom, I've read and written such a lot that those fics now have to be outstanding to keep my attention. That being said, I'm not very acquainted with Bones fandom, but I had a hunch that, pairing wise, tokenblkgirl's prompt was rather original :p At some point of S4, I had the vague feeling that Angela/Sweets could work for me, but I'd never considered Cam/Sweets.

I especially love Sweets' awkwardness.

*g* Poor Sweets. Professionally speaking, he's so capable, but I can totally picture him losing a bit of his composure in this kind of situation.

I'm so glad you found Cam and Sweets in character here and that the lines you quoted work for you. I wasn't sure I could sell Cam's interest, and it's great to know it came out well. Thanks a lot for the nice feedback :)

Ooh, this was fantastic. I'm greedy for any hint of Cam/Sweets I can get, so this was like my kinda heaven :)

[clair_de_lune]

Thanks so much! Definitely not something I would have written without tokenblkgirl's prompt, especially since I hardly write any Bones fic at all, but it was fun to try. I'm delighted it felt kinda heavenly to you *g*

HOW DID I MISS THIS? It's so excellent! I love Cam so much, and this is definitely something she would do. HEE.

[clair_de_lune]

I DON'T KNOW! *g*
Thanks a lot. It's not something I'd have written without the prompt, but it was fun and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
