The link to the original story needs to be fixed.

Got it! Thanks!

Wow. This story packed an extra punch for me because I tend not to read headers so I didn't realize at all what could be coming. But even without that, it's a wonderful weaving between the series and the original fic. Plus, you've really fleshed Elizabeth out into someone both fallible and respectable, which is sometimes a had balance to find. And I love the way that everything just sort of tilts without changing.

Thank you so much! I think fallible and respectable is a good description of her. I love that it came across that way.

asdhfjklasd! That is the most incredible story - to tease out such a beautiful character study of Elizabeth from those fragments of Rodney's phone calls, and then to embed that twist, to pull it all together and to make it make sense that yes, of course, they could be exactly those people to one another. Wow - I adored this. So, so good.

Yay! You know, I had myself totally talked into that that really is who Rodney and Elizabeth are to each other. Like freakishly convinced. I'm glad that I'm not the only crazy person. I just have always felt that there was some kind of special relationship between Rodney and Elizabeth because she is the only one he unconditionally respects and he is the only one that she shows such ... affection in the face of complete exasperation. Thank you!

I don’t think there’s any problem with saying they’re good to eat warm as I’m one of those people who can’t resist eating cakes as soon as they appear out of the oven.

Oh, how cool-Elizabeth feels so complex and so real!

justabi April 30 2007, 04:56:55 UTC

Yay! Thank you! That makes me all kinds of happy.

*does a double-take* Didn't see that coming. Nice.

justabi April 30 2007, 04:58:04 UTC

Yay! Thank you! *happy*
