You wrote the story and posted it! I'm so happy...

This is great. I love your Herc voice. I want to know why Jason's so down in the dumps, but I love that he called Herc to come help him out. And I can totally get Jason's thing about people not touching him. It's like people touch him, but only in a medical assistance way, not in an intimate way.

A wonderful treat before my day of travel! Happy Thanksgiving.

This is great. I love your Herc voice.

Oh, thank you. :) I love writing Herc. He's a lot of fun, and I adore characters with really distinct voices.

I want to know why Jason's so down in the dumps,

When this fic takes place doesn't really matter to the story, but I imagined it being set sometime in or just after season 1. So, it hasn't been that long since Jason's injury, and I imagine he just gets bummed sometimes, especially if something little and annoying happens.

Thank you for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Oh, this is very good! You have Herc's voice down perfect, and I love Jason here, shy and a little hesitant and also so very Jason.

Woot! I love this pairing. So glad to read this fic from you!!!

[tartanshell]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

And I'm so glad I'm not the only one who sees (and likes) this pairing!

Thanks for reading!

Oh, wonderful!

The voices are great, and I just love the delicate balance of the relationship you've captured with these two.

Great fic.

Your Herc voice is excellent and so's your plot device for Jason wanting him over and wanting to be touched.

And I love all your Hercisms. They're EXCELLENT!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

And I love all your Hercisms. They're EXCELLENT!

I'm glad my Herc worked for you! I love writing him. :)
