LOVE IT.

This bit is my favourite: It's criminal, the way his eyelashes curl like that against the straight lines of his face. He shouldn't be allowed, when Mal's still strong in Dom's memory and the taste of oranges is still so strong in his mouth. Arthur might taste like that.

Aw, thank you! I was trying to work with dream imagery to communicate what was going on just as much as the dialogue, and I think the oranges scene might have been my biggest success in that regard. I'm glad you loved it so much! :D

[iambickilometer]

You too, m'dear, you too! But thank you so much! Arthur was difficult but rewarding to write for exactly that reason; he watches his tongue so carefully and knows exactly what he's going to say before he says it. And YES. I am taking this fandom's challenge and bringing people over to the Dom/Arthur ship because it needs more multishipping and really. SO MUCH HISTORY. And they work so well together, like you said. I will DEFINITELY write more of them, no fear there.

This? This totally fucked with my mind like the movie did. *claps* Brilliant!

Really? That is high praise indeed. Thank you!

If you don't mind me asking -- just what about it was so mindfucking?
