Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Just beautiful. Was missing your writing, this story. And it was well worth the wait. Thank you.

And I am delighted that there are sequels in the works for Mano's and for Werewolf. If you want a beta for Werewolf, I'll be happy to provide again.

Thank you, dear! I've gotten out of the habit of getting fics looked over by other people, because when I finish something I'm usually too impatient to wait - but I'll definitely let you know if I decide otherwise :)

Oh my God. I have been waiting for this moment. For that moment where one of them just couldn't take it anymore and had to give in. OH GOD. THIS IS SO GOOD. *DIES*

[deepbluemermaid]

I'm so delighted you enjoyed it! I had this moment - Steve snapping, and pouncing on Danny - planned all along, but it took far, far longer to get here than I'd intended. Stupid plottiness, getting in the way of the sex...

[finduilas_clln]

It was well worth the wait! Now, obviously, I am very curious to read the rest! :D

Oh hot, oh hot, oh MY.

[deepbluemermaid]

Hee, thank you - so glad you enjoyed :)

the prison scene between Steve & Hesse was so intense! You could almost feel the hatred roiling off of both of them...

And then the romantic scene between Steve and Danny was equally intense--but in a completely different way. I liked how Danny wanted to wait until he was sure Steve was sober:

But the thing is, Steve may have been too drunk to make a good decision. Danny's parents had drummed into him the need to be respectful of girls; of boys as well, once he came out. And even if they hadn't, Danny's worked far too many sexual assault cases to ever take someone's consent for granted.

Steve's reasons for saying no, back in November, were strong and pretty fundamental. Danny has to be damn sure Steve had good cause for saying yes, all of a sudden, beyond being worn-out and fucked-up.

...and yet, the love and affection were not the less for delaying gratification (theirs nor ours!). I thought this bit was incredibly sweet: he reaches out to hug Steve, who clings to him like he's a life preserver in a storm. Danny kisses him on

Thank you so much! I'm especially glad you enjoyed the interrogation scene, because I was hesitant about including so much - but I was just fascinated by the dynamic between Hesse and Steve. If I weren't an OTP type of gal, I'd totally write hatesex between them...

And incendiary is a wonderful compliment to receive :)

Hot damn. SO worth the wait.

[deepbluemermaid]

Yay, thank you - I'm very relieved to hear it :)

BTW, I'm back in Wellington for a week-ish mid-June. Hopefully I'll catch up with you!
