oh...belgium

This was perfect. Utterly perfect. The scenery kissing past, and crowley's desperate wanting and ....*words fail*

*love. Supreme and utter love*

Thank you, so much! Really glad you enjoyed...There is more to come, and much will be revealed. :D

Oooooh! This was deviously delicious.

I always like reading the historical pieces that show up in this fandom, they're always so well done and well thought out. All the little details make it so enjoyable.

Looking forward to part two. &hearts

Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying. Yes, I took a long leisurely scenic route researching this one! XD

Part Two will be along shortly.

Historical fiction is love. And you always write such fantastic historical fiction - and fiction in general. I love the interchange between them, the detail that describes without spoon-feeding, the unspoken words that come out through their dialogue... -happy sigh- You never cease to amaze me.

And the drawings!! The beautiful, beautiful drawings. I love Aziraphale's expression in the second one, and Crowley's amusing, er--cocky pose in the first. ;)

Lovely work, ladies! I anxiously await the next installment.

Thank you :) Yes, Crowley is rather, er, I won't say it.

vulgarweed January 29 2006, 01:21:49 UTC

Ah, thank you SO MUCH. I do so enjoy the research part of the process...this particular story was like a Penelope's shroud I wasn't sure I wanted to finish for a while, I was enjoying it so much. There is much more to come out between the lines in the next installments...

Aren't the drawings gorgeous? Heh, Crowley's such a fashion victim...but he wears it well. ;)

Oh, that is just ridiculously awesome. i fmykeyboard were not fucked I would wax quite lyrical.

vulgarweed January 29 2006, 01:36:43 UTC

Thfangky ou vErrrrrrrry m*ch!1 :D

maggiebloome January 29 2006, 04:17:38 UTC

lol.

Oh, that was wonderful. I love the way you've used the historical settings, giving enough detail to paint a really vivid picture, but not so much as everything becomes cluttered. The characterisations are lovely, too, especially Crowley's general underlying anxiety.

The illustrations are beautiful and fitted the story perfectly.

Also: I’m a bit of a virgin. If you like that sort of thing.

Thank you very much :)

vulgarweed January 29 2006, 01:43:47 UTC

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I fear there may be some slight clutter up ahead.... And Crowley's anxiety is not unjustified, exactly. You'll see.

Heh. That was fun to write. ;)

shaggydogstail January 29 2006, 02:00:16 UTC

Eeep, I'm all excited now! And a bit worried.

Also, I'm very new to this fandom (like, two weeks or something) and I've been trawling through various archives of fic and reading lots of your stuff, which is consitantly brilliant so...*fangirls you*
