Gorgeous fic, i really liked it a lot, it seemed so perfectly Dan and Adrian like.

Plus the sex scene was hawt *is currenly having a very, very cold shower, thank you*

Using your computer in the shower = risky business. Just FYI ;)

Thanks so much for the comment - I'm really glad you liked it.

that was so freaking wow! very, very well done!

[smirnoffmule]

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

You know, yeah, that was the most in-character thing I've seen in this pairing.

Adrian so remote and untouchable and alone. So easy to see how he's going to do what he does.

[smirnoffmule]

Thank you so much :) It's a fine line when you're writing about a character from the POV of someone who doesn't know as much about them as the reader does, so I'm really glad you found it IC. Pleased you like!

Ideological dialogue is a hard thing to make compelling but you did it. *applause*

And I loved how you led up to the kiss, but it still felt like it came out of nowhere. I had to stop reading for a moment in the best possible way.

Well done all around!

[smirnoffmule]

Eeep, thank you! Making people stop reading is a good compliment (um, I think!). Really pleased you liked it :D

[cold_clarity]

gah, the characterizatons were perfect. I believed every minute of the conversation.

it was sad and wonderful and just. yes. :)

[smirnoffmule]

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it. I should have credited you too for the conversations we've had about this pairing; you've certainly helped me cement some ideas.

Thank yoooooo :D

[cold_clarity]

of course I liked it. :) as for credit--I don't really care. if I was helpful, that's really all that matters.

although, I'll probably be ringing in your offer for a beta fairly soon. so consider us even!

[smirnoffmule]

Excellent! Can't wait.
