A one shot!? Damn. I was hoping for more! :(

Aw, thank you so much for wanting to read more! I'm glad you like it. :)

Lots of fun. Grey Wardens, Private Investigators LLP? Brilliant. :D

I also loved the little period touches (died in the war and your word choices which mimic phrases/speech in the 1940s). Great job!

Hee, thanks! Noir AUs always appeal to me--it's a weakness. :)

Genius!

Thanks! *blush*

I'm disappointed this is a one shot. and why you might ask? because it is MADE of WIN! ;D you did a great job with those cliche's and they made this story all the more awesome. Alistair's haste to clean himself up a bit and then get Elissa a chair to sit on was so him and so cute ;D all in all? I love this ;DD

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

A one-shot?! Oh, but you are cruel! It's amazing how seamlessly you adapted the Cousland story to noir; loved the writing style too!
This line in particular
Someone with a shadow that had curves like a Stradivarius violin.
was hilarious.
...and now I have the sexy mental image of Duncan in a suit sitting in some smoky office.

To get in the mindset, I had written "cigarettes, whiskey, Bogart" at the bottom of the page. :) I was saying in chat yesterday that I all wanted now was Duncan in a trench and fedora and Alistair in rolled up shirtsleeves with tie loosed and one shirt end untucked. Maybe glasses. :D

Oh gosh, this is a very insistent art nug for me! I hope you won't mind if I draw that?

silksieve April 26 2010, 02:52:35 UTC

Ha, as if I could! Please draw to your heart's desire, and I will squee for the rest of year! :D
