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!

Thanks for everything! Love, max

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.

Oh, gosh, thank you so much-their weird, quiet little life is my favorite thing about Nantucket, and I'm so glad that comes through!

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.

Wheeee, thank you so much! I am very gleeful that we've sucked you in, and I love that you love Cash! I hope the rest makes for happy reading. ♥

*vacuum noises*

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!

Wheeee! Wonderful! I have my map of Nantucket next to me, checking out the places you're taking me to. This is so very exciting! :)

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. :>

I am finally reading this, and oh, oh, oh. The house, open and inviting, and John handing him keys. How beautiful. How well-written!

*eagerly goes to next section*
