Foray into more Nantucket Universe after reading aesc's "Blue Sky." This is the first story (is it?), right? Lovely, lovely, lovely. Thank you for sharing. Love, max

Wheee, thank you! :) Yes--this is, currently the first story in the series (and the whole chronological index is here. I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying!

Excellent! I've got this list - is it up-to-date still? Also, not "Blue Skies" but "Big Sky," I believe!
Anyway, I'm almost at the end of the posted Nantucket fic (been spending whole day with Nantucket John and Rodney). This is such a superior series. I've got to check out the Iowa series, as well - I understand that's pretty darn great, too!

I'm so so glad you like these boys! Yes, the index is up to date as of Siria's two most recent stories. But it's still an ongoing series, so we hope there will be more! :)
And yes, you will LOVE Iowa-it's just gorgeous in every way, and it takes this kind of domestic AU to a whole other level.
This story is so quietly gorgeous. I love the little touches, like the lady at the market who may or may not be employed there, the sand on Cash as he sprawls across the back seat, wearing John's sweatshirts. Just beautiful.
I'm so glad I've decided to stop being stupid and give this AU a chance. I'm neurotic about AU fics, but I read the Christmas present story a few minutes ago and was completely charmed into little tiny bits of guh.
It doesn't hurt that I happen to love Nantucket and the headers and icons are in my favorite color schemes. Heh.
It seems like a silly thing to focus on given the really sweet open nature of the beginning here, but I really, really love the dog's name. It seems like such a fantastic way to ground the series into that whole tapping you on the shoulder business to remind you that yes, we do recognize these characters from elsewhere. Plus, Johnny aside, it's just a really cool name.
I've always thought that liking something enough to save it for the next day as a reward for waking up in the morning was a close second in the compliment pyramid, right next to staying up all night and biting the heads off of one's housemates. Which is to say, I do, definitely, think that these stories are happy reading, and am doing the saving thing.
Wow, I = not make much sense at bedtime. Anyway, yes, thank you so much for these!
Eeeeee, oh you don't know how that thrills me! Yes, it's true--I think you should be able to find anyplace that I reference . . . and who knows, maybe John and Rodney will be sitting at a corner table in the Espresso Cafe. :>
