How absolutely wonderful! Superbly written and captures everything that's wonderful about the series and the relationship. We are so lucky to have you in this fandom.

Thank you so much, hon. I don't feel like I did them justice, but it sure was fun doing the "research" for this. *g* And thank you and Jo for giving me such a shiny fandom to play with.

"He may or may not be entirely human."

Well...there is that....

*insert evil chuckle here*

Thanks for the SQ plug and the MHQ plug and the Fanfic Archives plugs, hon!

*cringes at The Keel Deal plug, though, since, with all the S.A.M. and angusfans stuff I have been kept busy with, I haven't updated the damned thing in many, many moons, alas...!* =}

Thank you! There wouldn't be much to link to if it wasn't for you. :) Please let me know if you spot any mistakes, or anything crucial that's missing.

Great essay! I'm off to read the fic.

Thank you for reading it.

I'm off to read the fic.

I wish there was more! Sigh. I think there are a few stories in the yuletide archive -- I'll add those once the archive is accessible again.

God, I have got to find a way to work this into SPN...I am not entirely sold on the Paul/Alva pairing although I adore the "buddy" and "partner" aspects, but I need a catalyst and I think the SPN boys might be the way in.

[killabeez]

Yes, seriously, I want a whole crossover universe where these two shows coexist. I swear, they do in my head.

It's funny, Paul/Alva doesn't leap off the screen to me, except that, every so often, there's this sudden intensity. I thought I'd get a better handle on it by writing this, and I did, a little, but... I think really, ultimately, I feel like their personal relationship was just getting started, and the slash is all in the future we never got to see. Which actually works better for me than a fandom like Sentinel, where it seemed like they were sleeping together by the second episode, and then years down the line, it was obvious they never had.

Now, Paul/Sam... I might have to offer you bribes if you were thinking about something like that. :D

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Miracles!

Heh. Damn, I should have just written that! Pretty much sums it up.
