Mmmmm. I like that you've brought back Larry's feelings of inadequacy over the kidnapping. Things like that don't just go away by the next episode. Also, the astronomy talk? Hot! If you're not careful, you'll be writing erotica next. [j/k] Good work, as usual.

I like that you've brought back Larry's feelings of inadequacy over the kidnapping.

Yeah, those don't just go away. Larry's an exemplary guy in that he's not at all intimidated by Megan or her job, but I loved how upset he was that he couldn't be the knight in physical shining armor for her. *hugs Larry*

Also, the astronomy talk? Hot! If you're not careful, you'll be writing erotica next.

*g* Don't tempt me. The sniggering over the possible double entendres when I was reading up on binary stars was epic. I'm glad it came across as kind of hot, because I imagine their sexy talk usually includes metaphors like this, and I found it pretty hot myself. *g* Talk nerdy to me, indeed.

Oh I do so miss these two. You wrote them beautifully. Each voice was perfect.

[izhilzha]

I miss them too! So, so much. Thank you--that's the best compliment I could get on a fic like this. I'm glad you found the voices true to the characters. :)

I really love your take on these two. I love that you brought back the fact that Larry felt he'd failed Megan when she was kidnapped and the talk about them being a binary system was very cute and very Larry. Thank you!

[izhilzha]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story--and the cute Larry talk. *g*

[jestana]

You're welcome! I love Larry's astronomical comparisons. *grin*

[izhilzha]

Thank you, I'm happy you found it so!

Hey, I stay offline one day and I come back and you have posted fic!

*snuggles this fic* I still love this. It made me go look up all the Larry/Megan clips I could find on YouTube and watch them and grin like a dork.

Yay actual hetfic!! *dances*

[izhilzha]

Heh. I know, right?

I love this pairing, too! I'm amused that you looked them up on YouTube. \o/ I win!

Actual hetfic! :)
