Cello, I was happy to see that you'd written for me again!♥ I read this the same day you posted ... and it was delightful and just how you'd described. I don't think you need to worry about your writing!

There is so much to love about this fic (the entire thing--hee!)but my favourite bit has to be

'“It's all.... in my head.” Sam repeated, punctuating the last word with a light clink of his glass and a small nod.

Gene thought that it might be time now to ask whether Sam was talking about his brains or those silly rules and regulations he always talked about, but just then Nelson announced that it was chuck-out time and that he would now proceed to enforce said chuck-out, and all complaints should please be directed to the Law.

“But we are the law,” Sam muttered, giggling.'

You write wonderful dialogue, and your Gene and Sam voices are always true. I love your view into Gene's head, which is both eloquent and funny.

And this!

'“How d'you know I'd do somethin' like that?”

Gene blinked, pulling his face into an even heavier frown than usual. “You wha'?”

Sam turned back around to face him, and there was that odd look again. “How d'you know I'd... swoon? Why would I do somethin' like that? Really, Guv - how... well... d'you know me? Really?”'

So brilliant. Sam would think something exactly like this.

I love their entire exchange towards the end, with Sam's final word, "good".

And I don't think I've expressed my thoughts well-enough, but thank you, thank you thank you!♥

Aahhhh Debl :'DDD <33333333333333333333 I'm so very happy you enjoyed reading this!

Heheheh, it's getting easier for me to get into Gene's head! Of course, it's just my own view on him... But I think I've puzzled his behaviour out alright.

Yeahhh, Sam would be thinking about these things, wouldn't he. They're important to him, now that he's back in the 70s! :') <3333

<3 The final exchange was really lovely to write, so I'm very happy that people enjoy reading it as well.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, and I'm truly happy you like this fic so much. <33333333333333
