Well of course I loved the whole amazing thing, but the last few lines definitely were the BEST EVER!
Very nice written Gaby. I, of course, love your Stephen (as I said after the first part). He got even better during part two with all his jealous evilness! I LOVED that he damn near cried because Bobby thanked him. And, of course, the sex was incredible!!!
Gah, I just cannot get over that last bit! SO good! ♥
The last bit is ALL down to Carol, because the first time around, the story ended with Bobby realizing what Stephen told Gaby. I wasn't sure I had it in me to write the confrontation and everything that came out after it, but the Beta Goddess was like "Oh no you don't," and send me back to the drawing board.
I'm really glad you like it, especially feeling for Stephen because I also think this was sort of his "redemption," because I've gone as far with bad!Stephen as I can.
Writing Gaby was nerve-wracking because I wanted to do her justice as a human being and not have her turn into a caricature. PLus I know that including her to the extent of giving her a POV scene was just the kind of thing that would raise hackles on the anti-RPS crowd.
So much work and love went into this so your comments mean a LOT to me because I know there high expectatios.
Well, then I adore Carol for kicking you and making you write more! :-) I thought you really did do Gaby justice. She wasn't like the innumerable cliche evil!Judys who are out there all over the H/W fanfic at all. She was a person and she came off as very real.
The high expectations were TOTALLY met! Thank you for continuing to write!
Damn the anti-RPS crowd to hell! They're all on crack for not realizing what they are missing! It's really their own loss, silly folks! :-D I mean, I hate the m-preg but I'm not gonna go freak out on people for writing it... I just do everything to avoid it! The RPS haters should do the same! it's not like they don't know it's RPS since it says is ALL over! haha!
Again, I can't thank you enough for your detailed critique. I LIVE for this stuff.
All these press-oriented commitments don't really help, poking and prodding and yet being so inanely oblivious.
Everytime I see him on Leno or Letterman, I just squirm for the poor guy.
"Rhythm. Groaning. Heat. Lavender. Love. He loved Bobby. He loved fucking him."
Gaaah. You remind me why I love this pairing.
Considering how much crap I put the guys through, I owed them one good smut scene.
Little harsher details about HL and RSL that I really, really liked you including:
RSL sounding stressed and "disingenuous". HL: "It struck her as something House might say, but sounded strange and almost vicious in Hugh’s British accent."
I'm glad you liked that. There's no point for me in doing it if I'm just going to white-wash and make people bland. These are supposed to be real people doing ocassionally bad things.
*head desk* I am so disproportionately angry now at SF (it's just a fic it's just a fic). For you to be able to do that is pretty darn
( ... )
RPS is not my usual cuppa, but I read yours because it's so meticulously perfect with all the background details. When I got to the point where Stephen was getting ready to tell Gaby, and you pulled focus, I screamed "You bastard! What are you telling her?!" and bit my nails, and this is the same guy who was smiling and suavely saying "Mavel Tov is in order"! Brilliant, brilliant, you!
I really appreciate you reading, especially as it it out of your usually interest zone. "Pulling focus." YES EXACTLY. I saw that whole scene cinematically. Stephen was being a bastard, but I think he's suffered plenty for it as well.
and that's exactly how it translated---I tend to think in those terms anyway. I love the attention to timing; you manage to correalate so many things like dates of horse shows and SNL and which House ep was showing when---I'm really in awe of that. Supposedly it's us Virgos who can do that---I wish!
Painful as it is, I think I have to concur with the idea that my writing has improved over the course of the series. There's something a bit superficial about the characterization in "Wrap Party," although I'm still in love with Hugh singing Noel Coward songs. I guess I've gotten to know the "characters" better and of course "Wrap Party" was sort of only about getting to the sex. I had no idea things were going to get so complex.
Thanks for staying on the journey with me and yay you for liking the canon details. Knowing that I had the actual names of Lisa's pets made me very happy.

Your writing is superb as ever, I love Hugh and Bobby with all my obsessing heart, and I'll go have a quiet heart attack now.
