08/04/2008 ~ from a comment To hereswith From jenthegypsy regarding her ficlet Chance Encounter: Oh, how I wish you would be moved some day to write some AU springing from this - you've proved that you can do them both more than justice!

As they say, All good things come to those who wait, and They did not lie!

Unkempt, dark strands had slid over his bearded cheek and his left hand lay long-fingered and half-open on the blanket. He seemed a proper stray like that: disarmed, unguarded and lost.
She did not linger to look. It made her irritable. :) Sums Anamaria up nicely, and the image of bedraggled James with his long fingers half curled as he slept ~ pardon me whilst I *thud* properly!

She couldn’t hurt him more than he’d hurt himself, and did not wish to. Not entirely. *loves*

He said, mildly, “Have I grown horns?” How is it possible that, after all these years, I can still hear his voice and the smile as he speaks? You draw him so perfectly.

...the reason she’d sworn to steer wide of strays: they had a habit of getting under your ( ... )

*beams* I re-read that comment of yours while working on the above and was thinking (and hoping) that you would be pleased to see that I had returned to this universe! I always meant to continue their story in some fashion, but things got in the way, time passed and well, I don't really have a good excuse, but for some reason inspiration struck when I had to come up with something for the holiday fic celebration.

Thank you so much for the quick response and the kind, encouraging words. *huge hugs*

This is marvelous, my dear! You've really captured the both of them. I enjoy this glimpse of how James was getting on prior to the DMC, and to have him encounter Anamaria is a nice trick. :)

Since canon never tells us where Ana has gone... theoretically, it could have happened :-) I'm glad you enjoyed it and I really appreciate your comment!

Oh my. I could really get behind this ship in an AU world. :) This was great, you had both their voices down perfectly. Thanks for sharing!

I'm a bad, bad woman, but I love him like this. Good characterizations, I enjoyed it, and... hmm, now I'm dreaming about yet another part. Next encounter, this time with his upper hand and maybe also his POV? Or changing POVs. Would be really interesting, to see how it will be with 'the debt'.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I might write more, if the muses cooperate this time :-) Thank you for reading and commenting!
