Interesting. Great imagery... the whole thing almost felt like pieces of a puzzle....

Nicely done.

Thanks :) It's my first Ian/Nikki piece and I've been working on it for far too long. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for the lovely comment :)

Very nice! I'm not usually a big fan of this pairing, but I really like your style and how you write the two of them. They feel very authentic to me in this fic.

They feel very authentic to me in this fic.

This is awesome, thank you. I'm always worried about getting the characters right so that meant a lot. I'm really glad you enjoyed my fic and the way I wrote them. Thanks so much for reading and for your lovely comment :)

And thank you for posting at numb3rs-het! I'm always happy to add a new author tag over there. :-)

I just got home from an 11 hour drive, 6 of those hours being in the pouring down rain... so imagine my absolute and PURE delight when I opened my LJ and found this. There is so much to squee over here.

First, I love Ian/Nikki. I have from the very first "Who the hell are you?" in 5.01 High Exposure. Second, I love that you posted to ian_nikki!! THANK YOU!!!! I hope that the numb3rs_het challenge will bring about some more Ian/Nikki fic but admittedly, some people still aren't keen on that pairing (probably because it's canon. haha.)

Third, this was delightful. So casual and in character and yet so poignant and delicious at the same time. You really captured their banter and the easy way they have with each other. Fantastic.

There was the barest exhalation behind her, a deliberate warning. Then Ian was beside her. His tie was undone as were the top buttons of his shirt. His jacket was missing and there was something about the way he walked that told Nikki he was wearing the ankle holster that chaffed. He’d gotten a glass of champagne too. Not ( ... )

Wow, what a wonderful comment to recieve :) Thanks so much for your overwhelmingly kind words. It really made me morning and made me smile. Ian/Nikki was a challenge to write but they're actually my favourite Numb3rs pairing. Clearly I'm one of the few ;)

I'm really glad you enjoyed this fic so much. Thanks again.

Two thumbs up! jelsemium September 6 2011, 03:16:34 UTC

Excellent job! I loved the Nikki and Ian pairing when it cropped up. I'm glad that you picked up on it.

My favorite line was: "Colby and David were laughing somewhere behind them and Nikki could hear Charlie's colleagues talking - math that was starting to sound familiar." Loved it because I always loved how the math and crime fighting were blended in this show.

Also loved the sound of Colby and David laughing.

Yay glad you liked :) It was difficult to get the characters just right so am glad that you enjoyed it so. It really means a lot :)
