Oh my god that was fabulous.

Just re-reading this. You might consider fixing the formatting. I'd hate for people to dismiss it as bad fic because of the bad formatting, as I almost did. Just a friendly suggestion!

Loved it. The one-liners, the premise, the situations, the resolution - awesome! The last scene was great and sweet. Wow I am a crap reviewer. Also read your bbbb fic, haven't commented yet. Want to do it justice.

(Also, if you ever want an editor, feel free to toss things my way! Am sorta alive online again, after my repose... ;-))

I got a review on ff.net that says she can't understand why Leonard wanted to kiss Sheldon but otherwise, she really liked the story. I c fact she can't get past the fact she thought the kissing before the semi-sex was confusing. It's messing with my head! I was going to ask you to beta but then I just wanted to post SOMETHING! It's been so long. I haven't read your BBBB yet. I haven't had any time to snuggle up for a good read yet but I'm looking forward to it!

Found the comment. Perhaps the person is not used to real life in fanfiction? People DO ask if they can kiss others, it's not all swelling strings and misty camera shots. I think that's all that confused them - the asking. I think it was the cutest thing when he asked! <3

Ok, way to not offer any more insight in that last non-comment - what I WANTED to say was that bit about 'maybe it was sex, it was definitely intimate' is that's very academic is a very presentable way. It reminds me of the wife telling me about her gender politics course prof. saying almost the exact same thing: why is only penetration considered sex? Is that intimacy? What about those hours of closeness spent merely lying next to each other - why isn't that sex? Awesome addressing of a topic that we should all think about more.

This was gorgeous and brilliant. You managed to capture with perfect clarity the experience of being in a relationship with an asexual partner without turning it into a "I can cure him!" fic. Well done. I plan to recommend this to others as the go to story for asexual romance.

You just made my week! Writing this piece really made me think about intimacy in a new way.

That was wonderful. So in character, and the whole thing had a maturity that I haven't seen in fanfiction for a long time.

Thank you! I want to say it's mature because I'm in my thirties but I am learning that age and maturity are not strongly correlated in fanfic (or life in general).

I really loved the approach you took with the idea of them being in a relationship but Sheldon being asexual. The switch in perspectives was very captivating as well!

Thank you! It was an interesting and challenging story to write.
