Thank you for explaining this. So far I have only felt the slight different but never truly knew where it laid. Guess, this mystery is solved then. :)

What great timing! I'd just used "averse" in a fic and had the nagging thought that maybe I should make sure I was using it right. You saved me the research time. Thanks! (And I *did*! I *did* use it right! :-)

I don't remember if the word made it into the final edit. ;-) Worthy, an NCIS, Tony/Gibbs slash fic.

Oh, waaaaah! I've never seen an episode of NCIS (not even sure what the show's premise is) so I'm lost, lost, lost.

I'll have to settle with some of your good, old-fashioned Jack/Daniel crack. ;-)
