I absolutely love this. I almost swooned when Purvis picked Billie up in the interrogation scene, and I love how you've expanded upon that interaction here. You really build upon Purvis' humanity and growing discomfort with his line of work here, in such a subtle, graceful way.

Thank you! I love that theme of Purvis' ambiguity about his work and will probably explore it further.

I love the voice of Billie as well, how she remains loyal to her Johnny, but still admires Purvis. I really like the motif of tea, too. The delicacy of such a refined beverage really reflects the overall atmosphere of the piece.

*beams*

That's exactly what I was going for! That genteel afternoon tea
underscores their relationship, one of wariness but the beginning of respect, and perhaps more respect in the future, and friendship.

Please keep writing for this fandom! I love your writing. :)Thank you ( ... )

Awesome! I'm especially interested in those slash bunnies. Hee.

I think this afternoon's viewing will help. ;)

Hmmmm . . . I rather liked this story. It reminded me of that scene from the movie. Well done.

Thank you, Lavinia! :)

When I first saw that scene, I said to myself, ah, ha! A real gentleman! :)

I thought there might have been a meeting between the two after what we saw on-screen.

Your fic is great, I liked the way Billie and Purvis treat each other with respect.

And I loved when purvis picked Billie up in the movie, he's a man of honor as John Dillinger.

*nods*

I thought they might go that route. :)

And I loved when purvis picked Billie up in the movie, he's a man of honor as John Dillinger.

I like the similarities of the two of them, and I think Billie would pick up on that. She's a smart woman. :)

Oh my, I really loved this story! The way Purvis and Billie treat each other with such respect and understanding is strangely heart warming.

I love how she, despite remaining loyal to her Johnny, sees the good person within Purvis and accepts him as a man of honour despite his role in her boyfriend's death. He was only doing his job after all.

Great job! Can't wait to read more!

I think that she recognizes the hard realities, and knows that Johnny would have tried to kill Melvin. Naturally she'd be angry and resentful at first, but I think she would gradually come to accept what happened. Just my two cents! :)

Great job! Can't wait to read more!

Thank you! I'm hoping to go and see the movie again today and I especially want to take mental notes for the jail scene between Johnny and Melvin. ;)

oh now that was wonderfully written! I so can see Mel. do all of this. Great story! It's like there could something happen between them once she comes out!

I think there could be something there, perhaps friendship, perhaps more. ;)

hehe are you planning on continuing this little story?

bradygirl_12 August 13 2009, 17:12:16 UTC

I might! I have quite a few ideas for this fandom, and nothing is off-limits. ;)

It is set up rather nicely, isn't it? :)
