Gah, you're the BEST. *tackleglomps* I love this! The segue from lascivious dream sequence into pitiful reality was hilarious and made me cackle. I must admit I feel for Zach, even if he brought it on himself; you describe the hangover misery so well it's hard not to empathise. :D And I love how Astoria tackles the situation with just the right balance between bitchiness and practicality... sometimes veering over a bit:

"I said are you going to listen to me?" her voice said loudly, right in his ear. *giggles*

And aww, the fondness that peeks through. I really enjoy how you write these two with their breezy-snarky affection. ("I smell like you now." "Thought you liked it?" Astoria's lips curled. "On a normal day, I don't mind it. But not today.")

Thank you so much for writing this for me. I haven't had a Zacharias fix in months and months! <3 (Finally... Aresnius? Oh, dear. As I was saying, poor Zach. *g*)

HEE! Oh yay, I'm really glad you liked it! I had to do a bit of trimming, or else they'd still be bantering. Astoria was having a bit too much fun making hungover!Zach miserable.

Also, that was the dialogue exchange from The West Wing. (See the first minute and a half of the scene -- one of my tried and true OTPs)

Despite her bitchiness, she still likes him. It's why she's not a complete bitch and only half a one instead. ;)

Fun fact: his middle name is Arsenius because when a friend of mine played him at our RPG, that was his middle name. It just stuck.

*SMOOSH* Thanks for the fun prompt, hun! :*

That video clip is awesome! I think I love Donna already. I have the first season on West Wing on DVD and haven't gotten around to watch it yet - clearly I should remedy that!

Okay... Arsenius? :D Because it says Aresnius in your fic above - and I thought that was bad. But Arsenius would be both worse, and... y'know, apt. *dies*

[leigh_adams]

That would be because I can't spell. >.>

Haha! Well then I'm really glad you spelled it right in your comment so I could enjoy the beauty of it. ;)
