FIC: Broken English - Part 9 - (Giles/Ethan) - R

[estepheia]

Actually, ‘Bugger’ is putting it mildly. Giles just watched a small fortune go up in smoke, his shirt is soaking wet, his glasses are gone, his ankle is throbbing, and he’s freezing his arse off. If holds his breath to listen, all he can make out over the rapid hammering of his heart, is Ethan’s uneven breathing and the rustle of leaves whenever

:Squees madly:

OMG! That was so wonderful! I'm dying to know what Ethan is up to.

Also, thanks so much for posting links to all the previous chapters, because I definitely need to re-read from the start to appreciate this properly.

:rushes off to pimp:

:-) I'm glad you enjoyed the new chapter. Thank you for pimping it in your LJ.

Yes, Ethan is kind of beating around the bush, instead of just telling Giles what he wants. But you'll soon find out.

I looove your icon, btw.

It's by madelineanne if you want to snag it.

Aaaah! Yes! more of this story! I'm also dying to know what's going on.

[estepheia]

Thank you for letting me know that you're still reading. :-)
I am always happy to receive feedback. It's gratifying to know, that even after such a long wait there are still readers out there who will pounce on the new installment.

Yay! an update!

Of course he’s glad that Ethan is no longer dead. However, he also knows that hell is not exactly a place renowned for letting go of its prey. What kind of deal did Ethan make? Was he forced to claw his way out of his own grave, like Buffy, reanimated by dark necromancy? Who’d be interested in bringing him back into play? Janus? The First? A dark coven?

“Why are you here, Ethan?”

“To see you.”

Even though the words ring true, this is not the answer Giles is looking for. “That’s not what I asked.”

“I know.”

Yes, yes, don't we all want to know what Ethan is up to.

Thank you for leaving feedback, Petzi! *hug*
The odd thing is: I thought I left enought clues throughout the story to make it quite clear what Ethan wants (although he finds it extremely difficult to actually say it).

:-)

[shapinglight]

Me!Me!

:Jumps up and down:

I know what he wants!

[estepheia]

You do? Oh goody. :-)
Care to tell me????

[pinkdormouse]

Ooh!!!

[estepheia]

I'm glad you're still reading. :-)

[hello_spikey]

ARG!

I'm all caught up, aren't I?
NO FAIR!

*pouts*

Well, write more!

*waits*

Wasn't that long enough? Come on!

*tap tap tap*

Okay, so it's brilliant, I love the characterizations, and I can't wait for the two men to have it out with each other and gosh I hope there's sweaty mansex an emotional connection.

Now write! I'm waiting!!

[estepheia]

Hiya. Your enthusiasm is infectious! Thank you.
I promise you will get a new chapter Friday or Saturday. It is already written but I need to make sure that I am a good way into the next part before I post. :-)
