EEP! I never commented on your last story! Of COURSE it was a great story, but now I want to see the show, and that's all your fault.

[gaelicspirit]

I'll gladly shoulder the blame for that one. And hey, you're the one who told me to WRITE ALL THE THINGS, so really...you only have yourself to blame. ;)

Glad you liked the last story -- hope you enjoy this one, if you read!

Yay, another Musketeers story! And even better than the previous one. :)

I love all the backstories. And you write such good H/C!

[gaelicspirit]

Thank you! :) And I am pleased you enjoyed the h/c aspect of this as well. For whatever reason, it's one of my favorite things to both read and write. I choose not to explore the 'whys' of that too closely and just...go with it. :)

I'm pleased you thought this was even better than the previous one; I kinda felt so, too. I was getting my legs under me with the first one and felt much more confident about this. Thanks again for taking time to read!

This was a gripping and entertaining read! I'm happy to see new fic from you for this fandom (its not often that I stray from SPN but your writing has lured me in!)

I loved the meaty and detailed plot, all the h/c, and the brotherhood and protectiveness of all the men. I liked too how you handled their humour, it felt very befitting of the show, especially the ending.

The character explorations were wonderful too.

Thank you for sharing! Take care :)

I'm honored, truly, that my writing is enough to lure you into another fandom. Thank you so much for that.

I'm also quite thrilled you enjoyed this one, and if I should write another and you choose to read, I hope you enjoy that, too. :)

My best,
Gaelic

Hi Gaelic!
I just read both your Musketeers fics in the past few days & loved both of them. As always, I think you've done a great job with the characters & their personalities, & the story plots were intriguing! I finished watching the series earlier this month & got the DVD set too, so I am officially hooked on the Musketeers!

[gaelicspirit]

Hooray! Thank you! I'm so very pleased you've enjoyed them.

I've completed a 3rd Musketeers story, Broken Places, and have it posted as of yesterday. If you're interested, I'd love to hear what you think. :)

My best,
Gaelic

I finally had the time to read all 3 of your Musketeer stories :)

I did feel like I'd missed some important backstory, particularly in the one that takes place after season one, and a little bit in the chronologically first one, but I don't see how you could have done anything about that.

That being said, I certainly enjoyed the characterizations, and getting to see through each of the characters' eyes gave me an excellent feel for their interaction.

You really like to hurt your protagonists, don't you, though!

[gaelicspirit]

Thanks so much for reading even though you haven't seen the show! I love that you did that, and appreciate you taking the time to let me know. :)

It's the bane of the fanfic writer, I think -- we have to write assuming that one is familiar with the characters else we risk boring those who are by retreading familiar territory. But I'm glad you were still able to enjoy the stories.

And, yes, I do enjoy the hurt factor. *laugh* But, as someone who has read and written SPN h/c, that should come as no surprise. ;)
