OH, I am laughing so hard right now!

"There's only one way to solve those problems permanently," said another voice - another version of his voice - and Paul didn't even need to look up, because he recognized the derisive timbre, the hint of menace lurking underneath. He'd worked hard on that one, too.

"No thank you, Patrick," he said firmly.

"Just a suggestion."
Too, too funny.

And Paul, attracted to Ms. Fraser? So funny. And so in denial, because Fraser did not make a particularly attractive/convincing cross-dresser, I thought. Great legs, absolutely, but overall just so masculine.

Thanks so much! And of course Ms. Fraser is, er, rather masculine. Which is probably why I find her so attractive. (And so does Paul! :-)

Ms. Fraser! How fitting. *g* Well done!

isiscolo May 23 2006, 18:33:43 UTC

Thank you kindly! And did you see, I made an icon out of your art.

If you had asked me a year ago whether I would have been reading, let alone writing RPF, I would have firmly told you no in a shocked voice. Yeah, I don't know, either!

I don't think I even have WORDS for how much I love this. Nothing that really resembles a word, either! Maybe some high-pitched vowel sounds and wheezing, but that's all I can give you.

"You're crazy."

"You're the one talking to a drunken hallucination."

"Point taken," said Paul, and poured himself some more Scotch.

At least Paul is being sensible about the whole thing.

I love the little bit about Paul noting that Fraser would, at least, keep away from the alcohol. For some reason, I think that may have actually been my favourite part.

Or it would be if not for the ENDING, which is surprising and so perfect. Paul finding Ms. Fraser attractive (oh, Paul) ... dear god. Just. Excellent job. *g*

Oh, thanks so much - I am tickled you liked it because it was your commentfic that put this idea into my head.

Oh, fun. Welcome to the fold! I just want you to know I've never even seen Slings & Arrows, but I still recognized Geoffrey Tennant from your description. When Buddy showed up, I started giggling wildly and going "Oh man. There better be sex."

"And you're not, either! Right?" Suddenly frantic, Paul swung around to face Patrick. "Or you. Or you,"

[giggling accelerates] Sure, honey.

But this is the best part ever, ever.

Oh, fuck, thought Paul, burying his face in his hands. He should have known he would show up. At least he wouldn't drink any of his Scotch.

I officially howl and die. Thank you!

I've never seen Slings & Arrows either, so the description and characterization was based solely on screencaps and some information from malnpudl. (And ditto Murder Most Likely, in which I was strictly going on the IMDB plot summary and a crossover fic I read once.)

Sorry for not providing the sex - maybe next time. Glad you enjoyed it!
