oh, this is so perfect! I love Ivy, and you give a fantastic glimpse into her life. And Topher-on-the-Chair sex is always hot. The ending is delicious and kind of sad.

Thanks so much! (I'll admit that the idea of chair!sex was the foundation of this story.)

oh wow! Love the twist :D And it kinda works in canon - this way Topher and Bennett can still have their (short and odd) relationship, and it gives another meaning to when Topher tells Ivy to leave.

Very well written - good control over themes and amazing creation of tension. Very enjoyable to read :D Well done!

Yeah, I was kind of hoping this could nestle into first season. That way his relationship with Bennett is true, but he still has a great deal of affection for Ivy. (That scene where he tells her to leave really breaks my heart.)

Thanks for reading and for the great review!

That's ok - you deserved it! I really enjoyed it and I thought the descriptions of the characters and Ivy's voice were very truthful. And I loved the end cos I always thought it would be Ivy that would fall for him and he would not feel the same way. :D

And I love your Ivy voice, many of your lines were pitch perfect and I especially loved this: "It’s not like there are many women willing to come back to the back room of an underground fortress to have sex with a guy who doesn’t even have a proper bed."

I was giggling for much of this, until the end. Then my heart just melted. The ending--that was perfect.

Thanks so much!

This was fantastic!

You nailed both characters and their relationship perfectly.

Plus...it was very hot! And who wouldn't love that?:)

Late response...

Thanks so much for reviewing! I'm glad the hottness worked. This is the first time I've attempted to write anything other than kisses.
