♥ Yaaaay, Ben/Skandar! I really enjoyed this. Restless!Skandar and observant!Georgie are basically two of my favourite things, and when you add attractive!Ben, it's pretty much a winning combination.

I really love the very first bit, about Georgie, for some reason I could picture that so easily. And then WILL. ♥ I like that you didn't sort of rigidly define Skandar's sexuality in this, too. And that you included the swordfight-bruises thing, I loved that whole scene with Ben's random praise and then their bickering. Georgie knowing, and drunkenly articulating that, was awesome, and so was the build-up to the kiss, and the kiss itself, and I loved Skandar's brief bit of panicking afterwards.

The smut was so hot, like, somehow I wasn't expecting it (I don't think I read the header properly or something, I was just like "BEN/SKANDAR? CLICKCLICKCLICK") and so I was a little overwhelmed by it. IN A REALLY GOOD WAY, because hnnng. The dialogue during that was weirdly hot too. AND THEY WERE SO CUTE THE MORNING AFTER.

Overall: loved it. I just have one tiiiny thing to point out which is really me being picky more than anything, and that's just that they filmed all of Dawn Treader in Australia. But they've filmed in NZ a lot, so doesn't take away from the story at all. :)

Hee, thanks so much! I mean, if Ben is in ANYTHING he's blatantly going to be attractive as that is his natural state of being apparently *-*

I needed to include Georgie idek, idk if i were Skandar i'd be shocked by her sudden ability to grow up that much in such a short space of time and be slightly confused as to whether i'd want her or not :3

OH i am glad you liked the smut, i was v. nervous about it as i LITERALLY have not written anything, let alone SMUT in a year and when i read it back i was like SHIT i am so perverted and should just not be allowed off the internet ever, BUT OK, this is why i love the internet :p

Thanks for pointing that out! i feel like i knew that from an interview and it never really clicked into place, but i changed it now :)
