Eric Weiss ate my brain...

And this is the result. Mostly unbeta'd (except for a quick pass by lizbee as I was writing it) and not archived anywhere else yet, so if you've got comments, now's the time to make 'em.

Hey! Saw your post at TWoP and had to come read and say hi...[I'm pie over there by the way]

This was lovely. Your Weiss is pitch perfect and wonderful, and I love how he deals with Sydney.

A fabulous read -- makes me love the Syd/Weiss 'ship all that much more :)

My favorite part was definitely:

Weiss stared at her, then let out a snort of a laugh -- he couldn't help it. "Syd, are you kidding me? Let me tell you, if there's any guy you've ever met who doesn't want you, he's either in a coma or he's got it for Vaughn instead."

She gave him a startled look, and he realized what he'd just said. Whoops. Nice one, Eric. Ever heard the term "dead giveaway"? "Uh, but don't tell Mike I said that. He thinks we're just friends."

Oh, yeah, like that's going to help. By now Syd had to know as well as Weiss did that if he were going to switch teams, it would not be for the sake of a guy he'd once seen sporting a mullet and a zit like a third eye, playing air drums to Def Leppard with a Cheeto up each nostril. But it was the only escape route he'd left himself.

This is just so darn perfect.

Bravo!

*dances* Somebody in ALIAS fandom finally found the fic! I was wondering how long it would take...

And oh, I'm so glad you liked the bit you quoted. Nobody else so far had mentioned it, and I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who thought that description of teenaged Vaughn was either plausible or funny. :)

Thanks very much for the feedback!

Plausible *and* funny although I am wondering about the effects of cheetos up the nose!

And I posted a link on my LJ also so hopefully you will get a few more people visiting from the Alias fandom :)

Bravo again!
