*glomps* You should have see how much this made me smile when I read it at the museum today. LOTS, that's how much :D (and I think the other volunteers totally think I'm friendlier than I really am because of it :P) And yes, it pleased me like unto a box full of kittens <3 (I really like kittens)

The bond bleeding through to both of them, argh SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! So glad you spotted that and YES! totally intentional, and there'll be more of that as it progresses. Vortex might start to notice that soon, but I can't see him kicking up a fuss about it. Unlike Aid.

The fact that he keeps tigers is just bafflingly adorable Well, I couldn't help myself :D Although he pays a human to look after them. I've had an OC brewing for that for a while, although I don't know if she'll end up in the fic. And there's a big hand-drawn sign somewhere in Kaon script and a few other languages that says something like 'Swindle is not allowed to sell the tigers'.

As for the coercion thing, yep, also a favourite. Especially with this pairing, and especially in this situation. Sooooo glad you liked way it all went in the final few scenes. The prompt did call for seduction, and to me seduction + noncon = coercion.

And YAY! So happy you like the roadtrip aspect :D That whole power dynamic is just fascinating for some reason!

Thanks again for the feedback! *happydance*
