I SAW THE RATING CHANGE AND I WAS LIKE

[leandralocke]

Haha oh god, that gif... once you've read the chapter you'll notice just HOW fitting is is ^^

[goddamnelectric]

I could have read about Erik and Charles just swimming together in the ocean and been happy, the sex was super-delicious icing on the cake! It's so romantic, and I can picture it so vividly- the white sand and the clear water♥

He still couldn't believe what he saw, especially when Erik turned his head slightly, his dark, round eye looking straight at Charles.
This would be frightening though! Not that just being near a great white wouldn't be terrifying but that mad me shiver :)

And the kissing in the water ;A; God, I love this story so much!

I think there barebacking does make sense here like you said, but then again I'm not usually bothered by it so I'm a terrible example. But Charles fingering himself, DEAR GOD *fans self* I just... that was ungodly hot, and so worth the wait!

Charles is Erik's princess♥

[leandralocke]

Well, first there was the parallelism to Ariel, now 'Pocahontas'; Charles really IS a Disney princess, haha. And great, now I have the Beauty and the Beast song in my head again ^^

Heh, the slight sense of being frightened seems to be a common response. I probably would too, just a tiny bit. Though not if I knew that shark is my boyfriend ^^

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it and found the sex hot. :)

[leandralocke]

Seriously, this is the longest fic I've ever written without any sex happening. Almost 60k words until the first sex, that's a new record for me ^^
Glad you liked it.

[celectis]

Just...gonna read this a few more times...and then read it again...and some more...♥ I was so excited to see that you've updated and oh god the long awaited consummation of their lust. ♥

The outtake was super hilarious and I kind of felt bad for Moira hahaha.

[leandralocke]

Awww thanks :) Glad you enjoyed it so much.

And heh, yeah, poor Moira. I think it's very likely that it even happened like this (though maybe a little less comically), but we won't ever get to see it because the story is Charles' POV, and he was occupied otherwise ^^

[skull_bearer]

I read the fic and I was like *sweatdrops*

and then I read the outakes and laughed so hard I hurt myself. I love Moira.

[leandralocke]

Haha. I'm sorry ^^
And glad that you like Moira. I think she doesn't get enough appreciation, very often. I picture her as a really cool woman. It's a bit of a pity that I only got to introduce her so late into the plot, since we're getting closer toward the end, but I guess she will have a few nice moments in the following chapters.

She also needs to find herself a nice boyfriend. Sean seems vaguely interested, but he's the geeky stoner kid she has rather sisterly feelings for, if at all ^^ Hm. Alex might be a few years younger than her, too, but... Hm... What do you say?

So at first I was like

[leandralocke]

OMG this comment is gold! I love gif comments, and these just made me laugh so hard. Especially the last one haha. Thank you, thank you.

You know, Great Whites aren't as dangerous as they are made out to be. Attacks are pretty much always a case of mistaken identity. You're not very likely to be attacked at all if you're under the surface as a diver (unlike tiger sharks or bull sharks who sometimes even attack divers, but that, too, only happens rarely and mostly when the shark is in a so-called 'feeding frenzy'). If you're swimming on the surface, a great white might think you're a seal or seagull and take an exploratory bite. Did you know that over 70% of attacks by great white sharks are not fatal? ^^
God, I'm such a shark geek, sorry ^^

Anyway. Thank you soooo much for this lovely comment. I'm glad you enjoyed both the romantic swimming and the hot sex. And the outtakes.

And aww, you would draw fanart? That's sweet. Nevermind though, I can't really draw either. But such gif comments are almost like fanart already *g*

[papercutperfect]

Hehe, as scary as I find them, I'm also a little bit of a shark geek (high-five?). I understand why they attack and that it's very rare and often none-fatal, but still - I would shit myself and die of fright if I ever saw one swimming near me, long before it had decided whether or not to take a bite! I guess I was just traumetised by Jaws, which I hate myself for, but sadly... that's what happens when you get shown it when you're 4 years old. Stupid dad.

But yeah, I fangirl hard over this fic whenever I see a new chapter. I love your Moira; she doesn't get nearly as much love as she should, and you write her wonderfully (did you know she and Sean had a thing going on in the comics? 8D)

I would draw the crap out of it, if I could.

MOAR GIFS THEN.

I think these fit rather well...

[leandralocke]

Ooohhh hnnngh those gifs. Yes, very fitting indeed
