Oh I loved this. I loved the gradual evolution of their relationship, and the cameo of Lucy and nice!Holly. And the last line was genius. Fab :o)

OMG I loved this so much!

I loved the banter, and the fact that John didn't even notice the nurse, and that Matt wasn't gonna move in with John right away (I love the moving in fics too, but this was great, much more realistic), and the line about Vinyl and the Green Peace thing.
*lovelovelove*

*blush* Thank you so much! I was nervous as hell about posting, lol, so it's lovely to see people actually reading this! Heh.

Wonderful. I love the "I already know you're an asshole."

Hee! I think it probably only takes about five minutes in his presence when bullets are flying to figure that out.

Thank you!

"Who says we don't?" Matt asks lightly and the next few minutes are spent fussing over Lucy after she falls off Matt's bed.

A very sweet, funny story, but it's that line that absolutely cracks. me. up. :-D

Holy cow! YAY! I am continually surprised by the different fandoms my HP flist will read. I'm so glad you liked it. First fics are always agonizingly scary.

"This is the part where you tell me you're not looking to change me."

Matt's lips twitch and he shrugs before shooting a sly glance at John. "As long as you don't mind me destroying all your 'classic' rock cds…"

John's smile is slow. "No problem, kid." He doesn't have his classic rock on cds anyway.

Nothing sounds as good as vinyl.

Too. Cute. :)

So...I really liked this a lot. I like that Holly is human. *g* I like that Lucy warns John to treat Matt well. I like that Matt is making the FBI pick up the tab! I loved John's protectiveness and his confusion. :) I love that they're going to try. Thanks so much!

Thank YOU! I am so glad you enjoyed it! I like Holly, so it'd be way too difficult for me to turn her into the bitchy ex-wife. However, she and John are a mess as a couple. And that's not just the slasher in me talking, LOL.

Word.

Also, I forgot to say that I got a huge kick out of the Galaxy Quest and Mac references. :D

Thanks again. :)
