YOU. HOW DO YOU EVEN. I LOVE THIS.

Seriously, you write these two so well. Their interaction is some of my favorite of all the LITO writings (and that's saying something). They're just so dynamic and off-kilter and a little bit crazy. Perfection.

I LOVE YOU TOO!!! HOW CAN I NOT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU INTRODUCE ME TO AWESOME PEOPLE LIKE HERMES AND CAT?

((yes I know I am speaking like they're actual people and I don't care because as far as I'm concerned they are. If I can see them in my head while reading a story, that is plenty real to me))

Her finger pauses against the last freckle she’d counted, just above his collarbone.

The intimacy of this detail makes the entire freaking scene.

They’d fitted together like a Chinese puzzle box, and there had been an almost audible click of rightness. In the awe of that first meeting, she’d been so open. And now she was withdrawing, twisting deadbolts on every door, laying tripwires in his path.

Pretty woooooooooords <333333

“How does dinner in London sound?”
“Rather unfeasible.”

HEE.

You can’t see it, but I’m fluttering my eyelashes in a very winning fashion.

BUT DOES IT BUTTER PARSNIPS THO

“Not for any profit, mind you,” he clarifies quickly. “Not to be malicious at all. Just to prove, to ourselves and the world, that it can be done. Just for a bit of fun. The thrill of it all. We’d put it right back, of course we would
