That was all kinds of great. I'm a sucker for Claude-Claire interactions, I blame it on Jack Coleman.

Lovely fic.

[indyhat]

Thank you. Honestly, I'm quite dissatisfied with it, but if people can find something good in it, that'll do :)

I blame nearly everything on Jack Coleman. Mostly so I don't hold it against Christopher Ecclestone ;)

[cucumber_k]

Yeah, darn that Jack Coleman and his deleted scenes.

[indyhat]

There are deleted scenes? :D

(man, I'm sore. The DVD comes out in the States on my birthday, but no, we in the UK have to wait until December to buy it. Grrr.)

... or did you just mean those deleted scenes where it's revealed that Bennet is responsible for nearly everything, and only Pa Nakamura pulls the strings from above him? ;)

Well, in the podcast for Twop Jack says there was a deleted scene from Company man where they're in Claire's birthday party and HRG is all cold and distant while Claude is the one playing with the kids and practically being the dad; and also (this I can't remember if I read it somewhere else) Claude was who started the whole stuffed bears tradition.

Same down here, we never get anything on time. :(

Is the podcast still out there? 'Cause although I've heard references to these things, I never assumed they were canon - thought maybe they arose out of fic and had become memes in and of themselves.

I've never dared wander onto TWoP, lest I vanish into it and never be seen again ;)

[cucumber_k]

Yes TWoP is to be taken in small doses. I think it's still up; here are the sesquipedalian links (sorry about that).

Awesome! Thank you so much! :D

I've downloaded them and will listen on my iPod on my way in to work one of these days. Yays!

Also, much impressed with the use of sesquipedalian (which is one of those words that ... yeah).

[cucumber_k]

I adore that word, don't know why.

[indyhat]

It's new to me, but now I love it too!
