This was incredibly hot without being all that porny! It was great. And always, I like the way you lace the theme so seamlessly into the story.

Short, but oh so sweet. :) Thank you!

Ah, yes. This is usually what happens when I first write in French and then translate: no NC-17, and even the R is a rather soft one :-p

And always, I like the way you lace the theme so seamlessly into the story.
*blushes* Thanks so much. I'll admit I write a fair amount of high-rated fics, but the smut is quickly getting old to write if it's smut for the sake of smut. I'm always delighted to hear that trying to sneak in a little 'something more' worked.

Thank you!

I think I might already have told you this is hawt!! It never hurts to say it again though, right?!!

THIS IS HAWT!!

What makes it more so is the absence of foxriverinmate-like graphic detail!! Oft times it's better to let our imaginations paint those pictures for us and in this one the set-up was particularly yummy!!

And it really was a pleasure to beta for you! *keeps puppy eyes handy* ;-)

[clair_de_lune]

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I got it right. Did you say 'hawt'?

I like writing and reading less graphic stuff, I like the... teasing? suggestive? side of it. Of course, I always want what I don't have. So when I only managed to write softer fics, I wanted to write more explicit ones; now that I write more explicit fics, I long for the softer ones *g*

Absolutely *nods*

It's always a pleasure to be beta-read by you *hugs*

-- Edited because I did pretty awful things with tenses in this comment *facepalm*

Yes, I said 'hawt'! Hawt is like hot only hotter (or hawter!!)...I've been in LJ for so long I'm picking up the idioms! ;-)

Of course, I always want what I don't have.

We always want what we can't have, don't we? Sometimes I wish I'd written something softer then when I do I wish I'd written it *coughs* in more foxriverinmate-like graphic detail! Thing is, we're women; we're allowed to be contrary! :-) And I love the teasing, suggestive stuff too, a lot of the time. It doesn't make me wince as I write it either! *g*

I love that you find being beta-read by me is a pleasure, dear! *hugs back*

Ooops!! Tenses! Tricky things, tenses! But even those of us who speak English as our native language are very much prone to confusion. *holds hand up guiltily*

Gotta love the LJ edit facility, huh? :-)

I got it, no worries *g* I was merely joking because of the BOLDED CAPSLOCK ;-)

Thing is, we're women; we're allowed to be contrary! :-)
I'm a Pisces: I read once that the symbol for Pisces is two fishes (duh) swimming into opposite directions - might be towards past and future - hence the contradictions inherent to that astrological sign. Soooo convenient ;-)

I love the way you write guilty protests giving way to irresistible, guilt-laced pleasures. The sensuality in your stories is always rooted in emotion, so graphic and suggestive both work really well for you. Whichever you feel like writing, I'll be over in my corner of the world reading.

Thanks for sharing!

This kind of relationship between them would be such a ground for a range of feelings, emotions and drama, it would be a pity not to try to use and explore them a bit, wouldn't it? I guess that, when in doubt - or when my M/L muse isn't too cooperative - I go back to my first love though, meaning guilty Lincoln and unapologetic Michael, as it's the case here.

I'm glad you enjoyed this ficlet, and to know you'll keep reading. Thank you for the lovely feedback :D

On a site note, your username: how sad is it that it took me a while to realize it relates to the show? *sighs* I used to be a better fangirl ;)

Love! A painfully unrepentant Michael is so attractive and strong. I can almost hear the soft sarcasm of his tone in the beginning, how he's so frustrated with this ritual but he's going to let Linc continue anyway. I shouldn't love how "okay" Michael is with their relationship, but I really do. And Linc's disgruntled attitude is perfect - I'd feel bad for him but he's also willingly on his knees so...yeah, the man doth protest too much.

An amazing snapshot of their relationship, clair. Just beautiful. :)

[clair_de_lune]

Hey! You still around here? *clings*

I guess Michael knows as well as Lincoln that it is wrong, he's just... I don't know, 'honest' is not the right word... less delusional? about it. I didn't especially intented the begining to be sarcastic, but you're right: Michael would be because, for him, Lincoln's habit is a bit pointless (and damn, I'm back to the logic I used in the very first M/L fic I wrote: they can 'guilt' about it as much as they want, it won't change the fact that they do it, and keep doing it).

I'd feel bad for him but he's also willingly on his knees so...yeah, the man doth protest too much.
He's just really waiting for the first excuse - good or bad - he can get, doesn't he? ;-)
