SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love it, love it, love it !!!!!!!!

There's such a huge feeling of tension in the description of simple things like driving through the countryside, shopping in Tesco (Ok that makes me tense at the best of times!), arriving at the B & B. Simple things made frightening.

I adore your Ryan and Connor more than I can possibly say :)

And the sex? *happy, happy sigh*

Every time a new part appears, I go back right to the beginning to re-read, just 'cos I can. *more happy sighs*

[deinonychus_1]

Finally it worked. This chapter took so long to get right, and the smut scene went through about three drafts before I was happy with it. But now it's done, and the smut that I've been promising for ages has finally arrived.

Do you think Munchkin will renew my membership to the Evil Triplets now?

It's good to know the first bit worked as well, given that this chapter was mainly focusing on their relationship angst, it's good that the tension of their current situation is still there.

I suppose I'd better start writing chapter five, now, hadn't I?

[fredbassett]

I'm sure she will!

Yes, you'd better, or I'll kidnap you and lock you up in a garret and force you to write more.

*wonders if garret has two t's*

[deinonychus_1]

No it doesn't. (although I only know that after looking it up in a dictionary, as, until thirty seconds ago, I had no idea what one was!). See, fic is educational as well as fun.

Also, *meep*!

[telperion_15]

Y'know, you have this uncanny knack of posting these when I'm not paying attention or when I'm doing something else. Which means I always find them just before I'm about to go to bed. Then, of course, I have to read them, which deprives me of sleep.

But the sleep deprivation is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO worth it!

*squees at the Ryan/Connor relationship angst*

[deinonychus_1]

Sorry. I know exactly what you mean, other people do that to me as well, or more annoyingly, they post after I've gone to bed, and then I find it at work the following morning and it taunts me all day because I really don't want to read long fics at work.

I got someone else to squee! Go me! Glad you liked it. I do like angsty fic. And these boys are going to have a lot more angst before the end. *evil grin*

[hellcats_punk]

You are amazing, you know that?

This was just sensational, everything about it...the way poor Connor is having to go through all this...the lost and helplessness of Ryan...the cuteness between the two!!

It has brightened up my day, I don't like being stuck at home sick, but for once i'm glad for it, other wise I would have had to wait till late this evening to read this.

[deinonychus_1]

Cool, glad you liked it and it cheered you up a bit. Hope you feel better soon, though.

They do seem to be having rather a lot of angst about the whole thing, don't they? And they only seem to work it out in major stress situations. So I suppose it's quite handy that I've got lots more stress and mortal peril and angst planned for the boys before the end of this series. *evil grin*

[hellcats_punk]

Your amazing, still stand by that.
But you are also truely EVIL to those poor boys!! And I Love It!!! *wicked grin*

[deinonychus_1]

You may not be saying that when you see what I have planned to happen in two or tree chapters time... *ominous evil cackle*

[byrons_brain]

FANTASTIC! I just LOVE this story...

[deinonychus_1]

hehe. Glad you liked it. I know you've been waiting for the smut for a long time with this series. I was having a lot of fic-angst about writing it, but it seems from the comments that people seem to have enjoyed it. I hope it was worth the wait.

[byrons_brain]

DEFINATELY worth the wait... please let there be more... poor Connor needs more sexing....

[deinonychus_1]

I'm afraid I have to say don't hold your breath for more smut. After this brief interlude of slash and relationship angst, the boys are about to get savaged by the plot bunnies of doom again for the next few chapters. But there will be more slash, eventually.

*looks guilty and offers plot in leui of smut*

*cue spooky music* I signed up for the ficathon yesterday and asked for the prompt - Ryan goes to Tesco to get supplies. That is too good a coincidence :D
*shuts off spooky music*

I am enjoying this fic too much. I have an insane urge to hang around Tescos in Wiltshire.

Shit. He didn’t know what the hell to do about Connor. He’d never seen the kid like this, not even when things had got bad in the Jurassic. There had always been something, some spark of life, enthusiasm, the fire that made Connor so lively and unpredictable and aggravating and stubborn and bloody brilliant. He wanted the real Connor back, not this ghost of the man he knew and cared about.
Best paragraph eva. Then their world all went to hell *g*
Connor is just such a great character, the way he dresses, his enthusiasm, naivety, need for approval. In this fic, you have stripped him, even of his usual attire, also literally (yay! LOL) and pushed him so far it hurts. It's absolutely bloody brilliant.

When Connor came, Ryan caught his cry in a kiss, and held him as the

[deinonychus_1]

Okay, the Tesco thing is quite spooky (which reminds me, I'm supposed to be signing up for the ficathon as well).

This chapter and the one before were both biggies in the whole theme of 'push Connor to breaking point and see what happens'. I'm quite glad that it seems to have worked and that people have generally found it believable. That's also part of why the series ended up being so long - you can't push a character that far with just one or two bad situations, it has to be a gradual slide, an accumulation of bad things happening.

"I just want to take them both home."

I think there's already quite a long queue of people who want the same thing! *grin*

[fififolle]

Quick! Sign up :) *hopes you get my prompts* LOL

[deinonychus_1]

With only an hour left to go before the deadline, I've finally signed up for the ficathon. Sometimes I think I could take procrastination to new levels of art form!
