This was adorable. As always, with your fics, perfectly in character and I could really see it happening. The banter is fantasic, I love the back and forth bargaining.

I love Ash planning to run the place with a rod of iron when she's DCI. Although, I can't imagine Scribbs listening to her even then...

Scribbs fixed her with a very eloquent look: Not if you ever want to see me naked again. - Not everyone could say that with just a look, but Scribbs could.

Scribbs went on clicking her mouse -- playing Solitaire, Ash guessed, since she rarely used the computer for actual work - Hee!

And whatever that phone conversation was about it sounds very...interesting.

Lovely work.

I love Ash planning to run the place with a rod of iron when she's DCI. Although, I can't imagine Scribbs listening to her even then... - That's a fic waiting to happen, don't you think? I agree, Scribbs wouldn't put much stock in Ash being the boss, and Ash would whine about it.

Thanks for the comments.

Ash hates snakes because I hate snakes. Really, who doesn't? Thanks for the kind words.

Ash is just so darn sneaky, I love it. Of course now I'm wondering just what it was that Scribbs was after *g*.

Very enjoyable fic.

I have a silly smirk plastered all over my face imagining Ash begging, bargaining and generally weedling to get out of having to go and see the Snake Man.

My head is also filled with all sorts of interested ideas at what "you know... the thing you said you'd... like" might be.

So's mine. Perhaps someone would like to take that up in another story?

Oh I'm dying to know what the "thing" was. I loved it, you captured them both so well. I can totally imagine Ash being afraid of her mum. Hee.

Thank you. I figured the woman who "wouldn't approve of anything" might not be easy to please or get along with.
