Comments

[crownglass39]

I've been thinking about this scene all day and its been bugging me. I don't want to offend you or anything by writing unsolicited comment fic, so if this isn't your cuppa then please just delete

::utterly utterly melts with joy and fuzzitude:: My lord, they're adorable

[iadorespike]

*is all melty from the sweetness*

[beadattitude]

Also, what sort of philistine would delete such a lovely gift? You send them to me and I'll explain things to them. ::cracks knuckles::

[crownglass39]

I'm glad you like it! I just didn't want to offend you by playing in your sandbox. I know some people have very strong attachments to their stuff and don't want them muddled with.
(Is muddled a word?)

[beadattitude]

It's absolutely a word! I've muddled about quite a bit. Perfectly normal.

Not offended at all. To find that I've caused a reader to be so caught up she writes something of the 'verse herself? Dude. I am no Anne Rice to throw a hissy.

[amycooper]

I had never understood that. I mean, essentially we are playing in someone else's sandbox whenever we write fanfic. What right do we have to complain if others do it to our fanfic?

I always thought it was very flattering.

[crownglass39]

Thank you so much!

[danian]

Cute :)
I wish my cats would nap on me rather than the things I pile on top of the place I don't want them to be - John is obviously still thinking reasonably straight - Rodney's chest is a much safer place than pretty much anywhere else...

[crownglass39]

Mine always find me the best cushion in the world when I have no time to cuddle, usually when I'm late for work.

When I do have time, though, I love seeing those ears peak over the couch...

[yous_suxes]

omg! so great!

It didn't take long to hear John's paws padding across the carpet and Rodney forced back a smile when the tops of black ears appeared at the edge of the couch.

I can just picture it! What a gorgeous little aside to the rest of this universe! Much love!!

[crownglass39]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
Personally, I wouldn't mind a nap with Rodney...or John for that matter.

[lavilleperdue]

Aww, cuddling. And napping!! Very cute. :)

[crownglass39]

Thank you! I'd certainly wouldn't turn down either John or Rodney if they wanted to nap...in any form.

[crayonbreakygal]

Awwwww. Kitty!John is the best kitty around. Can we clone him? I just love a good kitty snuggle while I'm napping. Thanks for the comment fic. It was lovely.
