Thanks for the kind feedback! I'm glad that you read and enjoyed this.

I'm pretty sure I fucking love you right now.

Seriously - your image of Jack, post-Aliens in a Spaceship emotions, Jack/Angela, and a piano (I'm imagining that it's one of those baby grands that makes my knees go weak)?! Get out your defibrilator, baby, because I think my heart just stopped beating.

You never let me down when you write on a prompt, and I love that. This was truely amazing. ♥

[lostakasha]

Ooh, baby, I'll do anything to be loved! :D And the piano is actually a grand piano -- a concert-style Steinway. In my personal fanon it was what he learned his lessons on as a child.

Thank you so much.... I really am so excited that you liked this so much. And anytime I can write Jack is heaven!

[lostakasha]

Thank you!

Oh, this is so gorgeous.

I never thought of it, but of course Jack is one of those people whose brain is forever running full speed. And after a near death experience, he needs to turn it off but can't.

I love that Angela still doesn't tell Jack her secret. She's not quite ready to share that yet.

Patchouli oil and dying roses, Chandrika soap, the slightest tang of seaweed, and there are mermaids pulling her through abalone chambers, silvery and pearlescent, tempting, conspiring, whispering…

so very sensual.

I have no idea if anyone else will get the title, but I have always loved the "other" Stone's beautiful and evocative piano work.

Thanks so much, R.

It funny, but I went off on this total research binge for this fic about Billy Gibbons, and it occurred to me that the likelyhood of his knowing the Stones is pretty good -- Hopkins, too. Did you know that Hendrix gave him one of his guitars because it was 'too pretty to burn'? Nifty. And that he has warehouses overflowing with his African art collections?

I threw in a reference I wondered if you'd get -- Angela's real name! After Swett Lorraine's Jazz Bar in NOLA, and Irma Thomas. I had *so much* fun with this one.

[a2zmom]

I did not know that Hendrix story. So cool - sad also, because better to burn a guitar than oneself.

I did know Sweet Lorraine, but not Irma Thomas. My blues knowledge isn't that extensive; it's something I have to work on.

Beautiful as always. You put everything you are into every fic no matter what the pairing.

Thanks, Deb. I enjoyed writing this, and if I hadn't stopped myself it would have been a multi-chapter deal. I'm just fascinated by Jack and Angela -- not necessarily together, but their backgrounds and inner lives. *smooch*
