This is beautiful. I love the way you can do the 'flashback' thing so seamlessly yet so clearly -- the moments blending together int a shared experience between the two men. Simple and elegant, like the cuff links!

Thank you so much for pitching in! ♥

[fawsley]

Thanks hon. &hearts I'm glad I wrote it but not so sure about posting it where I did now... I'm going back to just posting to my flist again, sticking to those I love and trust. *hugs*

The pout was nothing if not adorable. Never a truer thing thought.

I really like this Faws, how it manages to be fluffy yes and full of feeling yet in a completely blokey fashion. Wearing the cufflinks rather than commenting on them, talking about the rose putting down roots rather than them.

Lovely. ♥

Wearing the cufflinks rather than commenting on them, talking about the rose putting down roots rather than them.

What she said about that. Perfectly in character, for both of them!

[fawsley]

Thank you Mrs Two Comments! *g*

[fawsley]

He could pout for Britain could our Gene. Olypmic gold medal standard.
Glad you liked it hon and that it wan't too fluffy! Flokey rather than fluffy - that's what I was aiming for and I think the fic gets there. As do the boys of course!

That irritating supersonic sound you're not quite hearing? That's me squeeing. *g* I love the conversation about the rose and putting down roots especially, but it's all good!

[fawsley]

*puts down mosquito swatter*
So that's what it was! Glad you liked it and lovely to know it made you squee so much!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, sorry. Lost control there for a sec.

P.S. Damn, you're fast.

[fawsley]

Sam 'n' Gene induced loss of control is a recognised condition and nothing to be ashamed or afraid of. Repeated episodes are good for you womanly well-being, blood pressure, libido and sanity. So go ahead, make your day and Eeeeeeeee! and Squeeee! to your heart's content!

[talkingtothesky]

Aww! Bless them!

*goes off in search of some cocoa and digestives*

[fawsley]

Nothing like cocoa and digestives and a spot of flokiness when it's cold outside! Glad you enjoyed the daftness!
