True Story: Dinner at in-laws, lots of people; everyone had run out of things to say, tv, games, etc... ensued. I was sitting in the corner working on my laptop, got bored & decided to check for new fic...BAD IDEA!

I saw that you had posted, so of course I couldn't help myself, I had to read it right now- as a result I found myself reading about Jack's tongue and Renee's..nevermind, in a room full of people...kinda creepy, I know. That is why when I saw that you had posted a new story last night I decided to walk away, wait until tomorrow morning when there would be no one around to wonder why my cheeks were turning red.

So, here I sit, having just finished this fic, and I must say I am a tiny bit baffled, no sexy!times- my reality may have just shifted. :)

Anyhooo, this was great and I love, a million times love Team Awesome!!!

I truly don't know why you would have any qualms about writing action, it was excellent.

Time went sideways or upside-down. She wasn’t sure. She depressed the trigger, moving the gun left to right.

So, here I sit, having just finished this fic, and I must say I am a tiny bit baffled, no sexy!times- my reality may have just shifted. :)So, that line made me almost fall out of my chair. Nobody seems to know what to do when I write a fic in which Jack and Renee do not at some point conveniently misplace their clothing and proceed to trip and fall down on one another;) Ahem. I'm so amused by how infamous I am for this. I'd love to say this story indicates I'm cured but . . . that would be a huge lie. The hugest ever

Awwwwwww. Honestly,there is nothing more amazing than some J&R badassery time. I'm still pissed/depressed over the way things happened in S8,but luckily I have your stories to make it all better. :)

Oh,and I can totally see Renee watching True Blood and The Vampire Diaries. I think she would be on Team Stefan ;)

[leigh57]

WORD to still being pissed and depressed about the epic suck of the back third of S8 (and in some ways all of it -- woe). I think that's a lot of why I have to fic it out (hee!) to make myself feel better. Meh. I'm really glad if my stories make you feel better about the mess. I . . . can't seem to stop writing them, so.

OH HEY LOOK AT YOU ALL POSTY-MCPOSTERSON.

Sorry I missed the end of this last night! I was out being a New York thug.

This is gorgeous. The immediacy of the action and how clear and crisp it all is, the thing you do with sound, "this is a stupid fight," and million tiny magnets, laves that won't land. Love, love.

I'm so glad you're back.

[leigh57]

Posty-McPosterson. K, you kill me dead.

And of course because you go to so damn MANY concerts, I completely forgot it was Eminem/Jay-Z night. I mean I knew. I just didn't know know. Which makes total sense if you're me. I cannot wait to hear more about that, btw.

I'm glad I'm back too, regardless of how I feel about this particular effort. I was sitting there writing the other night thinking, "Goddamn. Why don't I do this more often?" And then I thought, "Shana, the answer is very simple. You are a moron."

Now I gotta go read your ambiguously gay duo fic! (I'm kidding! I'm kidding!)

I'm going to petition the Vatican for you to become a saint. Because, in all honesty, nobody does it better. It's indeed different from your other pieces, and yet, still so incredibly them, which is something I appreciate more than I could ever express.

Thank you so much for this. You have no idea how much you made my day.

[leigh57]

Because, in all honesty, nobody does it better.

Augh! *goes all ten kazillion shades of blushy* Thank you. If I ever get them right (I'm so self-critical it's hard for me to say anything good about what I write), it's only because my love for them is so batshit insane that it bleeds right out into a Word doc. Absolutely true story. God your comments make me feel great. I'm not gonna lie:)

[leigh57]

Geeked? This is a verb? Gimme a definition! hahahaha. I'm so glad you're excited though, despite the fact that I am as usual distracted by the adorable of your icon. Warning though -- nobody has sex. I say this only because apparently in my fics, they always have sex;)

[leigh57]

Geeked! It is now officially added to my lexicon.

I hope that's not how I come across.

Nooooooooooo! That isn't what I meant at all. Just *headdesk*. If you read some of the comments above, you'll see that if I write a fic in which nobody gets naked, people are surprised. That's all I was saying. Oy.

Adult responsibilities. Yes. I have those also. Eep.
