Aw Sid, what a pretty courtship. Love the Dorothy reference right at the beginning, getting all of it out on the table, and the slow progression of appreciated company to really noticing a person and having a friendship matter and deepen.
Thank you Minxy! My first Paul fic! I had a wonderful time doing the research for this - watching the Paul episodes and watching him interact with Daniel. He's a total sweetheart, and it's only right that Daniel came to realize that. :-)
Wheee! Paul/Daniel! There really needs to be more of it, and I really enjoyed how you took my itty-bitty drabble and built an entire story out of it. Such great moments between them: the shoulder squeezes, the handkerchief-ing, etc. You could totally see the attraction building.
And I love the Dorothy bit at the very beginning. Perfect Daniel with his sarcasm and Paul with his initial confusion. Heh heh.
I'm happy and relieved that you like it! I figured there had to be a backstory for your drabble - Daniel's feelings had to come from somewhere, something. So I hauled out my DVDs and examined the evidence. ;-) And I figured out that I didn't have to invent anything outside of canon; just fill in a few blanks. Because Paul was right there beside Daniel exactly when Daniel needed a friend in the worst way. And that leads to love in all the best romance novels!
I've always liked Paul and I was glad to get the opportunity to write him. You're right - there needs to be much more Paul/Daniel!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I always read any Paul fic I run across, but I've never considered writing any until this remix. It was such a pleasure to watch the episodes I used in the story and really study his character. I'm really feeling the Paul love! :-)
