Mmmm, a yummy-scented bubble bath sounds fantastic right about now. :-) Love how Sulu was trying so hard to win a bet against Jim while Gaila just, you know, asked. :-)

I know, right? I totally want a lavender bubble bath... And yes, hehe, I just thought that dynamic was so them. :)

This is so lovely and sweet! I love what good care they take of each other, and how Gaila ultimately won the bathtub from Jim. The last paragraph is particularly lovely -- such a nice combination of sexy, intimate, and sweet. They really feel like a long-established couple.

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it-- that makes me so happy. Hehe, I had to have Gaila be the one to make it all happen, because this was a fic for you! and it would just have been all wrong otherwise. :) I'm glad that the last paragraph worked so well, because I fiddled with it a lot and kept changing it, and those were all things that I was trying to get across. Merry Christmas, bb!

Oh man. I love it when Sulu/Gaila fic pops up! There's something so fun and just sexy about them and you've captured it perfectly.

Mmm, it really is a sexy pairing, isn't it? I love these two. (of course, I love Sulu full stop, so, um, I might be a bit biased. I'll pretty much ship him with anyone, lol) Thanks for your lovely words, bb! ♥

Smart, sexy and well-written. *love*

This: he wine, her favorite, had been a wonderful surprise gift from Hikaru, and she knew all too well how difficult it was to obtain out in the black.

She leaned over, wrapped her arms around Hikaru's neck, and slowly pulled herself up over his legs and onto his lap. Hikaru made a quiet, contented sound and pulled her suds-covered form closer.

YES.

Very, very nice.

*beams* Oh, thank you! I'm all aglow with this lovely comment. It thrills me so super hugely much that you, the reader of ridiculous numbers of awesome books, consider this well-written. *dances about in silly, giddy glee* THANK YOU! *tackles*

also, yours goes up tomorrow. ;-)

This is lovely, and feels much longer than it is, in a good way -- there's a lot of story in here!

katmarajade December 9 2010, 23:04:29 UTC

Thank you so much-- I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and thank you for the lovely comment. I love that you got that impression, because I remember feeling that way myself when I checked the word count after writing this and being shocked at how short it was. It felt far longer as I was writing it as well. Thanks again for reading and leaving me such wonderful feedback. ♥
