wow! can't tell you how much i love this series. Your posts make my week fly by. Can't wait for Rose to meet Elias and Ruby. I think that's going to be a pretty awesome chapter, and yay! for Peter/Rose time... keep up the absolutely champion work!!
Before I get to the meat of it--0518? You morning types scare me.
Now, for the commentary:
You’re also-let’s be frank-not the most charming of people. Oh, Elias--he's a diamond in the, erm, very rough, that one.
“Force of habit, these last few months. Never quite sure who’s lurking or listening. As you’ve seen-the zanzare don’t much care for facts.” Has the stalking gotten worse? I thought I remembered reading that they leave Peter more or less alone when he's in Kendal...
“You look it,” she said decisively. Speaking of Kendal, he must be enjoying London, even for this curious extra assignment, if he looks better than he did when last he was "home".
He always worried, his imagination creating terrors he hoped didn’t truly exist-terrified that something unseen might have happened to her, and that they’d not find out about it until much later. This would be an absolute nightmare, I think. Rose works with aliens--heaven only knows what she encounters, meaning that Peter's imagination is the limit. ::shudders:: With Rose--
( ... )
That was by necessity, not choice. I had to catch the commuter bus at 0550, and it takes me (on a very good day) 15 minutes to post the story and the links.
Has the stalking gotten worse?
It hasn't--but Peter hasn't forgotten the not-so-nice things that popped up when it first broke that he and Rose were serious. And the occasional stories which bubble up when news is slow.
This would be an absolute nightmare, I think.
Oh, it is. "A Recurring Thing" only captures a small part of what Peter worries about.
I'd listen to whatever that man had to say,
*nods* Oh yes.
::brandishes the thwomping stick of self-esteem warningly::
*thinks of Airplane!, imagines queue of fans brandishing weapons of self-confidence, waiting to thwack Peter*
Plus, Rose walked straight into it, which is fabulous.
These are my favorite chapters. The ones where people talk and relationships are built. This isn't to mean I'm not all about the smut when it comes..but the story owns me because of conversations like Elias and Peter about Rose and Rose and Peter about life in general. (My that was an awkward sentence that probably needs work but I'll ask you to just nod and say, "Oh there she goes with the ramblin' again.")
Oh, and before I go may I just shout out, "Elias is the BEST OC EVER in the history of fic!" Ehm. I'm fine now. :) I think I'll just go read it again.

I'll say "thank you," actually. :)
"Elias is the BEST OC EVER in the history of fic!"
I'll take that as another request to join the Elias McCoy fanclub, then. *g*

It's a Thursday--of course I'd post! ;)
It's called mutual respect and liking, Peter.
Poor Peter--he's still not quite used to that idea.
This...this just made me chuckle...
It was a pre-emptive strike--I figured more than a few folks would expect Rose to show up in naught but a coat. *g*
Loved this, the teasing is so in character for both of them...
They're both relaxed and, really, rather happy :)
Thank you *hugs*
You're welcome! *hugs*
