How this new instalment escaped me, I'll never know. Just when I stop checking your LJ you add something new!

I could have just DIED reading this. You blend dark with pragmatic with CIA spy efficiency so well when you write this pairing it kills me everytime. Literally!

For an instant, she thinks it’s fallen on deaf ears.

It ventures too close to the emotional for them anyways.

Then she hears him rinse and spit, the water turn off, and then his voice, strong and more startling than she’d admit. “Never thought I’d agree with you, Walker.”

-- This is why nobody can write this pairing for me like you can.

KUDOS. xx Dulce

P.S. I can't wait till you write an epic sized one... no pressure! ; )

My posting is sadly anything but predictable, haha, although it probably would help if I added you back so you could see my friends-locked shit -- I tend to give a better idea of when things are getting posted in my personal entries. Also, apparently we have BSG in common too, judging by that icon, so you're automatically even more awesome.

Um. So. Fun fact: an epic sized one is totally in the works. This is going to work as a prequel probably. Or not; I haven't made up my mind yet. It's the same basic idea though -- Sarah and Casey as badass spies, but rogue, and inspired by something the poster above you, gigglemonster came up with. So the wait hopefully won't be that long ;)

I cannot thank you enough for all the kind words; these comments always make my day. I'm glad you enjoyed this!

Hooray for gigglemonster! And hell to the yeah for BSG maybe someday I will have the balls to attempt a Kara Thrace drabble... or a Bill Adama drabble.

You and I seem to have unlikely pairings in common... you wouldn't happen to think Kara/Helo would make a great couple would you? Cause come on... Season 1? The scene where they weight train? Launched a thousand plot bunnies for me. *g*

The icon was done by an online and real friend of mine, blue_orchidea, many, many, years ago... well in 2007... which feels like forever ago.

I personally cannot wait for your EPIC! If you need a beta or a cheerleader, I'm your girl! ; )

ITA about Alex being a character to pair with... well everyone. Same goes for Addison for me (when it comes to Grey's Anatomy, I do not watch Private Practice).

[slybrunette]

I've done BSG a few times -- though I've got some really, really strange taste lol. It's unnerving, for me, and I never feel like I get it, but the only way to improve is to try. You really should, btw, I'd be interested to see what you come up with.

I ship Helo/Kara like nobody's business. But, then, I ship Kara with a whole lot of people.

Thank you for the beta/cheerleader offer -- I may have to take you up on that for sure :)

Dies a thousand deaths over your icon...

A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

To everything you said. I should try one of these days. I currently have written a SPN/BtVS crossover which I'm too scared to even get anyone to beta and I've got like 5 WIPs going so... yeah.

Will definitely check out your BSG stuff, like right now. Or after I'm done pretending to work for a bit. xx Dulce

[slybrunette]

Haha, that icon's a particular fave of mine. For obvious reasons.

If I knew anything other than basics on SPN, I would offer to beta. I am generally very multi-fandom though (seriously, the list of shows I watched(ed) in my Userinfo is just...extensive) so if you ever find yourself in the need for feedback or something I'm usually available, preferably by email.

But, honestly, once you hit someone up for beta duties or whatever it gets easier. And there's nothing to it but to do it. I usually get really nervous whenever I post things, even if I'm overly familiar with the fandom -- you just have to suck it up and go for it unfortunately.

You might want to be careful around the BSG. A lot of it is very...out there. That's the fandom I just could never sink my teeth into all the way, lol.

[dulcedeusex]

I'm so glad you said that about BSG fandom. I find that icons and fanart are as far as I've been able to go so far. For some reason almost all the fanfic I've come across sounds OTT or OOC or both.

It's like the television medium captured the spirit and otherworldliness of the show in such a way that cannot be put to paper. Maybe because on paper the show sounds kinda crap and camp and on screen it's frigging diamonds... dazzling, shiny and just breath-taking.

As for the beta advice, I took it and I've found a friend willing to have a butcher's at my fic so YAY.

I will most def check out your multi-fandom credentials.

Will PM you later and get your email add for future reference.

xx Dulce

P.S. That Starbuck icon is also pretty frigging cool.

[slybrunette]

Oh, lol, I was actually referring to my own shit. But the fandom, yeah, I'm not crazy about it. A lot of it is TOO canon for me (ship-wise anyway). And I'm not exactly crazy about the way a lot of it is written but there is some very good stuff out there, depending on what you're looking for (it helps that I have several very capable friends who can do wonders with that show).

Awesome! I'm glad to hear you found a beta.

You don't have to PM me for the email addy btw. It's slybrunette@gmail.com, and I don't care who knows ;)

P.S. Thank you :) This is what happens when you have 260+ icon spaces, lol. One for every occasion.
