Coffee and fic...what a wonderful way to start the morning!!

Ok, I have to say, I'm calm at the end of this chapter. Usually I'm chewing the desk or something. I feel like they made some kind of headway.

I think it's funny that Eliot won't even admit that he's some what happy that he can hear Hardison's voice, even though he knows he is!

How very cool of Hardison to get himself arrested *and* beat up to get close to Eliot...even though he's mad at him?!

I love this fic.

:D

Yeah, I figured for once I'd not dangle them off the edge of the proverbial cliff. We'll see how long that lasts.

I think Alec's starting to get over it, a little bit, even if he's only aware of it on the periphery. Hadn't planned on them thawing out just yet, but it's been nice, here the past couple of days, no snow or anything, so maybe I've been feeling optimistic. :)

Oh, boys! Each so relieved to see the other and neither admitting why … It's cute how stupid they are. *g*

So now Eliot and Hardison are in lock-up, and Donovan is biding his time, while the team still has to finish the main job … Wow, nothing like multitasking, eh? lol!

I love this so much! And I can't wait for more (*ahem*)!

[jendavis]

They may be badasses in their respective fields, but both are still capable of being massive dorks.

Multitasking- Yeah, this one's forcing me to do a lot of backhcecking to make sure I'm not contradicting myself, and it's about to get worse as everything kicks into high gear. :)

More up as soon as I can manage! :)

Really like this fic. The plot is pretty addicting and I really like how you write the team. Looking forward to next update. :) Thanks for writing this.

[jendavis]

Thank you! I'll be sure to post more as soon as I have the next chapter up. Glad you like!

No cliffie... are you feeling well? I'm now terrified about what's going to happen at the end of next chapter that deemed it necessary for a rest chapter in preparation!

I loved the pacing of this chapter, with Hardison's fraught worry transferring over to Eliot and hyping the emotional pace after the fight. Nicely done.

[jendavis]

Hee! I figured at this point, *not* having an evil cliffie would be more surprising.

The post-fight was a bit odd to write, since neither of them actually had eyes on each other for the most part. Glad it came across anyway.

Thanks much!

A-ha, psychological warfare! Get us used to a constant shelling and then stop it, just to watch us disintegrate in the silence.

Oh, you're good! ;P

My other option was to go a completely surrealist direction at the end, when the shaman and gorrilla burst in and start playing tennis. Then I realized I'd been watching too much Mighty Boosh and that people would most likely want to kill me. :)

I love this chapter - Hardison gets himself arrested? Brilliant. I thought you captured his thoughts really well, especially when he was standing in the yard and Eliot was not responding.

But I am waiting for the big whatever, because those boys really have to realize what they mean to each other.

Sits back, waits for update and a bad cliffhanger next time :).

[jendavis]

Hardison hasn't quite figured out, yet, why he's doing stupid things just to make sure Eliot's okay, and Eliot's probably not likely to give it much thought in the morning. But yes. The big whatever is still pending, though I'm not going to incriminate myself by admitting anything regarding cliffhangers. ;)
