That was such a lovely story. I really enjoyed the build up and the way you showed their deep friendship, their understanding of each other and their obvious affection. The octopus had me grinning hugely and Molly just was the sweetest. :-) Beautifully characterised and wonderfully written. Thank you!

Thank you very much for this comment! I'm really glad you liked their obvious knowledge of how the other ticks; one of my favorite things about friendship pairings is all the things that are left unsaid because they know each other so well.

Oh I loved this for so many reasons. Protected sex, unsure but diving in Jim, caring Bones . . . this was a great read!

Thank you so much! I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes safe sex stories in this fandom. :-)

Mmmm. Oh, I liked this a lot. First of all, YAY for safe sex -- you'd think with Bones being a doctor you'd see more of that in this fandom. I also really liked the development of the relationship, how you showed us their friendship first, and how we see Bones taking care of Jim in so many different ways. And Bones being no stranger to sex toys? YUM. ;-)

My favorite part of this, though, may just have been the octopus. Bones is such a good doctor. ♥

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! Safe sex in fic is one of my favorite things, especially when it involves McCoy and/or Kirk (because you know McCoy totally started nagging Kirk about safe sex even before he became assigned to be his CMO). And I'm so glad you liked the sex toys line and the stuffed octopus; both of those were a lot of fun to write.

The phrase "starfish paws" was provided to me by my beta; I'd never heard it before, but she says it's reasonably common usage among some cat-owners. I'm glad you enjoyed the story, and thanks for the comment!

I'm going to lose fingers, from all the biting I'm doing. Wonderful.

Aw, thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
