It's for me??! Awesome!! Thank you! I wondered how it was like all my dreams come true, LOL! Amazing *g* It's a brilliant set up, and so vivid :D Thank youuuuuuu!!!

[stealingpennies]

Hee! I had not dreamed it would get so long or so complicated, but, yes, t'is for you! And for me, as it really was loads of fun to write. *g* That said, I think any gift where the recipient has to pour over Google Earth and correct the spelling of lily and espresso is possible a mixed blessing. XXXC

Finding out how to spell espresso was required research for my first full-on sex fic *nod* So it has a special place in my heart. This fic is full of things that have a special place in my heart *bg*

Brilliant setup and some lovely lines too - the image he projected just now was more over-heated dormouse

*purrs*

[stealingpennies]

Thank you! Lester is the best character in the world to write - it's never quite clear exactly where he stands on any given issue. I hope the story continues to work for you! :)

[knitekat]

Lester ftw! I'm sure I will.

This is an intriguing setup!
Love how Ryan is both determined and unsure.
The time-shifting is also working very well.

*g* The last section is quite delightful. I should think it would rankle!

[stealingpennies]

Cheers! I think Lester owes Ryan quite a bit for going along with this - both having to date Lester and shooting Helen.

Awesome! Lester and Ryan faking a relationship, soooo promising *g*

And am I a bad person for not worrying to much about the assassination part? O_o

*runs to read next part*

Look at lovely Ryan. Hee. Not at all, it would save considerable time and pain later in the series if someone had just gone ahead and offed Helen.

A dodgy internet connect curelly ate my first comment on this a few days ago, so here goes again...

I bloody loved this, every single word of it!

I love these two together and you captured them absolutely perfectly. Ryan's POV is perfect, and his observations on Lester and Suits are just great.

“Hell,” he said again, softer this time. No wonder Lester was jumpy.

“That seems the most likely destination,” agreed Lester, watching him closely.

I think that just about sums up how perfect it is!

*happy sigh*

Ryan comes over with a steely competence that makes me go quite weak at the knees!

[stealingpennies]

Cheers! Yes, competence is really, really sexy. Ditto suits and tattoos so win all round here.
