I hesitate to admit it, but I think I've developed a bit of a 'thing' for Evil/Chris!

Absolutely fantastic ending to a fantastic series. Much like the real thing, I'm going to miss the anticipation of the next chapter now it's over. Quite mind-bending, feeling sorry for Sam after all that he's done. Mind, I think he'll be OK as long as they let Chris in for his conjugals occasionally!

A heartfelt thank you to all concerned. xx

(I meant Evil!Chris, obviously. Bl**dy punctuation marks - who needs'em?)

[jantalaimon]

Oh, I dunno...I bet Evil/Chris could be arranged...;)

Thank you very, very much for reading it all. I think it's funny there's so much love for Evil!Chris. And a bit scary. XD

(Which reminds me, must go back and read Fandom/Meta...)

[jantalaimon]

SERIOUSLY. After reading that, I thought to myself, "wow, NO ONE ever needs to write any fic ever again. EVER."

For like 5 minutes.

And then I recced it in my journal, and proceeded to write "Round and Round." Oops. XD

[m31andy]

*grin*

Well, it's not for the reading, remember. It's for the writing...

(I'd promised myself that after Checkmate I wouldn't write any more Evil!Chris. And you know how *that* one is going...)

[jantalaimon]

The realm of Evil!Chris is so inviting. Which is worrying, but somehow becoming less so. Which is probably even more worrying. XD

[m31andy]

Thank you for reading! I'm at once very, very flattered, disturbed, embarrassed and *very slightly scared* (I'm worried evil!Chris has set up shop in the flat below me)

[jantalaimon]

For value of "worried," read "secretly excited." ;)

Just so you know, cuvalwen (main perpetrator of the shower scene) has written an AU continuation of this, here. It picks up after Games We Play and runs parallel.

(It's, if you will, the happier ending...)

Crikey, how did I miss that? Fanfic explosion, that's what it is - so many wonderful goodies to read. Thanks muchly for the heads-up. Clicking now!

[m31andy]

Yeah, lots of fic (I'm only just catching up now!) and a bank holiday. Not a happy combination for working through your friends list!
