You know you're probably in for a good ride when a fic's disclaimer and author notes have you giggling so loud that your husband looks worried. And when the pairing involves a really long, improbable-looking set of letters...
I've read it twice in as many days, and will surely read it several times more. Yep- that good. )

>>>Open mouth, insert plot bunny...

Well, if it's *this* easy, just open wiiiiiiiiide... *G*

>>>to sketch personalities for everybody,

And the "Post Game Analysis" was the real "." to dot the "i"s of your characterization. It was a conclusion to the story that really brought your OCs to life for me. :-) I can't really describe what that did for me, but somehow it was very satisfying and... touching to read about what the characters became later in their life. :-)

>>>that no two of the sexual encounters are alike,

Which enhanced the smutty aspect of the story immensely and made it interesting to read. I mean, reading about the same "process" ten times wouldn't have captured my attention up to the end. Not to mention that the difference of the encounters was a crucial part for giving the characters... different "characters". *G* I find that it's a very difficult task to bring characterization into a PWP. Not much opportunities for showing different characterization with a basically limited topic like that but you showed masterfully how to do it. :-)

>>>and that the two women do Blair, not the other way around.<<<

Early signs for things to come... like Jim and Blair. ;-) Seriously, this also works perfectly in two ways. There's first the obvious "PWP"-purpose of the scene - creating a sizzling hot picture and then there's the more "hidden" meaning of it.

Then there's the fact that Blair has no problem with two women doing him (in front of other *men*) which says something about his basic character, since this is not only a matter of sexual pleasure but also touches on the matter of power-play, self-esteem and Blair's general mindset.

On a side note: You also played masterfully with the "power"-topic in "Punk Rock". *g*

And showing that even a young Blair already liked it up his... you know, adds considerably to make the development that he would end up with a man, Jim, later in his live, more believable.

And every single one of things you mentioned contributed to make the story more than your average PWP. :-)

In German we have a verbal expression: "ist aus einem Guß", which means a thing is perfectly well rounded, no cracks or hooks on it, like hot fluid metal poured in a form and then solidified. Monolithic, of one piece.

That's what this story is: "aus einem Guß". :-)

Patk, that is just a wonderful, well considered comment and I agree with every word. It is indeed a thing of solid perfection, weighty and well-considered, with not a word out of place, singing with joy.

*beams*

And now I feel as though I'm the lucky hostess of a salon at which both the author and her learned readers are discussing what has becoming one of my favourite fics in a really wonderful fandom.
