Oh, I really like this. I am most fond of unusual pairings, and there is so little imaginative Alias femslash out there. I've never seen Spooks, but I did a little research and I highly approve of the crossover.

Irina's voice in the first section is spot on, and although I can't judge whether Ruth's is or not, she's an engaging narrator nonetheless. And, above all, first and foremost, yay for Katya/Peyton, which I honestly didn't expect anyone to write!! That is fantastic.

Her mien expressionless, one could still hear the hidden smirk in her voice.

I love the word "mien" - it's an unexpected choice, and yet quite appropriate for Katya.

Also a lovely phrase.

Anyway, great work! Thanks so much! It was worth the wait. :)

Now I just hope you don't hate the one I wrote for you.

First of all let me tell you how relieved I am that you liked it. Again I'm so sorry for being so late but things have been crazy lately, first it was malaria, then work... *rolls eyes at herself*

Then,

I've never seen Spooks, but I did a little research

If you want to, I can surely send you copies of the DVDs when I get home in September. It's a great show and I'm sure you'd enjoy it.

I currently only have internet at work (when we have electricity that is), so I'm looking forward to reading your story in my lunch break. I already saw the pairing and squeed so much my colleagues were startled. ;) So yeah... I will get back to you in a few hours about it. :)

In the meantime, thank you so much for your kind words.

I love it! I haven't read any great Alias fic for some time,so thank you! This is really great!

I don't know Spooks (some people told me I should watch beacuse it's great, and this makes me want to watch it even more), so I can't comment on Ruth that much. All I can say is that I like the character.

And you wrote Katya/Peyton! I never even thought about that before. Aww, and Syd/Nadia.

[honeymink]

Thank you so much, Silke. *hugs* This really means a lot to me that you read and liked it as I wasn't so sure about the piece. :)

I'm getting more and more impressed by your turn of phrase. That first story in particular is excellent. I like the distinction between Irina's poise and Ruth's tension.

*blush*

Thank you. I don't know... it's probably one of the stories I'm most insecure about. So this means a lot.

Do you watch 'Spooks' btw? I always thought there should be more crossovers.

[blankbadge]

I never did watch spooks. I think I was put off because the only thing I'd heard about it was someone talking about the death involving the deep fat fryer and it sounded too brutal to me. I've since got the impression that that wasn't a common occurrence.

I think there should be more crossovers with Alias and DEBS personally!

[honeymink]

Yeah, that one was really harsh. Nothing like it happened again though. I love Spooks - it's clever and has amazing characters.
