Yay! It's a great fic--and Casey is such and awesome character. I love the relationship b/w her and Walsh on that show (and I also love the Walsh/Beaumont relationship).
The book is very enjoyable, in an h/c + porn kind of way--but I really felt attached to the main character when I finished, so it definitely did something right. I would bet money the author wrote fic at some point, though--just based on the nature of the sex scenes.
I'd believe it--it's very J2-y--one of the characters even looks a lot like Jensen Ackles. But if so, it's good!fic --well characterized and well-paced, so I didn't mind.
(one of the comments on Goodreads complained that the sex scene at the end felt tacked on, and I felt like replying, don't you know a fanfic convention when you see one?)
The book is totally lovely--though more a romance than a historical novel. I felt very attached to the POV character by the end, so it did something right! I'd swear the author wrote/writes fic, though, based on the quality of the sex scenes alone.
Glad you enjoyed City of Thieves! Were you casting the movie version in your head like I was?
Well, I didn't get to anything definitive. Rooney Mara for the sniper chick; some unknown for Lev; Ron Perlman (who read the version I listened to), for the general.
Clearly, Kolya was the kind of part that could make some young, blond actor's career. The "Cossack face" description made me wish that it could be Bradley James's breakout part, but he's not as seductive as Kolya needs to be.
So glad you liked the fic--it was super-fun/easy to write. Very soothing. I'm currently trying to puzzle out just exactly how Walsh and Beaumont hooked up--I am on way too many boring deployment calls and they're keeping me pleasantly distracted for now. :D
It was great! And I wanted to make sure other people saw it, since I don't think there's an Unusuals com or anything.
And does this mean you're going to write some Walsh/Beaumont hooking up fic? 'Cause that would be awesome!! I love how straight-up sexy they are with each other, and caring in a brusque, straightforward way.
I'd love to write some Walsh/Beaumont, if I can get them right. Like you said, they're straight-up with each other--I wish there was a little more to work with, canon-wise.
you could totally get them right! though you're right that the minimal (*sob*) canon doesn't give you much of a sense of Walsh's pre-Casey life with his corrupt partner...Canon does give a good sense of the, um, capaciousness of their sex lives, though. *enables like a crazy enabler*

Monroe meeting Juliette in this episode of Grimm was one of my favourite parts :D
