Red, were you planning to kill me over and over again? Because yes please. THAT BIRD IS ADORBS AND SO ARE THE DOGGIES.

And omg the story!!!! Bonding with a bird!!! God, this Eames is such a wonderful Eames, I can't get over him, so determined and so CUTE.

Bravo you two!

[sparkledark]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it :D

Brilliant story! I can relate to Eames' adversion to birds but I adore the ways that he made friends with Chomsky.

Of course if you ever feel like telling the whole story of the Saudi Prince and why he was chasing Eames with a sword .... ^_^

Red red red.. . my god your pictures are always so perfect. I think that last one even brought tears to my eyes. So sweet!! I mean.. look at their chibi shorts and everything!! awwwww.. full of ♥

[sparkledark]

Haha, I think that story is probably better left to the imagination :D

Glad you enjoyed, thanks so much!

You guys ... I can't. I really can't. So much laughter and 'awwww'-ing and I just have the dopiest grin going. I want to tell you all the bits, but it would be soooo tl;dr. Here's the highlights:

Cobb - bloody twat. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA xDDDDD Special mention for "Eames, you asshole". I also love that Eames takes Chomsky on as his way of showing Arthur he loves and wants him. Because loving something you hate is ALWAYS easier than just saying so, right? xD

That last pic. For all there's much to praise in the lot, the last one has me because my very own wants-to-be-a-wolf-when-she-grows-up srsly sleeps with her tongue sticking out. I've spent 4 years not getting over how adorable that is. I also love that Chommy's sitting on Eames back in it - because they've bonded <3. Special mention for wolf-eames shoulder markings tied with Arthur parrot-cuddling.

Outstanding, guys. ♥♥

Aw, thanks so much. So glad you liked it <3

Nothing says "I love you" like bonding with your boyfriend's bratty pet parrot!
