Eeee! Palpable tension! I love it.

[m31andy]

Thanks!

You know, the tension is all over here - by the time I posted the above, I'd read it through so many times that I didn't know if it worked any more.

Fantastic - kept me guessing right till the end! ('Sam tied to a chair' bunny has just got very over-excited - calm bunny calm!)

ps we're flying the flaaaaaag - all oooover the woooorld (am I helping?XD)

[m31andy]

*grin*

Thanks! Yeah, the first line came first and it was *such* a different bunny.

Then I remembered I've got the ropes elsewhere....

Nope, that's not helping - but I do have the antidote. Sieben, Sieben, Ai lyu lyu. Sieben, Sieben ein, zwei. Sieben, Sieben, Ai lyu lyu, ein, zwei, drei.

Is that the Ukraine entry for Eurovision?

[m31andy]

Why, yes. Yes it is.

Complete with Elton John look-a-like in drag with a great big star on his head.

Very, very scary...

[hambelandjemima]

Very tense. I had to hide the last part of the story so that I wouldn't be tempted to read it out of order, lol.

[m31andy]

Thank you!

*grin*

[jantalaimon]

Very nice, and for some reason I was totally expecting Evil!Annie to be in the chair opposite. Was totally surprised by the end. :)

[m31andy]

Ah, under the circumstances I'm very glad I've still got the power to surprise you!

And I've got *plans* for evil!Annie, don't you worry.

I love poker stories, especially since I can't write them. This was perfection, story wise, and Sam wise :)

[m31andy]

*grin*

Thanks! Glad it worked!!!

(Sam wise? As in Gamgee??? *envisages LOTR/LOM... Hmm*)

[liquorishflame]

Yeah, I realized the pun once I'd posted ;)
Now hold your horses! If you get too carried away, we'll have Sam and Gene throwing the cortina in Mount Doom or something.
Of course, that could work as crack fic ;D

[m31andy]

What? The "One true piston ring to bind them?"

*grin*

"Forged in the burning fires of Dagenham, the Cortina is indestructible..."

*envisages Morgan as half-wraith, half British Sports Car*

*giggles uncontrollably*

Pass the plot-bunny-cide, please...
