Oh, I knew I had good reasons for looking forward to this fic, and here they all are, lined up one after the other! :D

“It’s a yacht!” someone yells at Matthew, in the distance. “Learn your nautical terms!”

“It goes on the water, doesn’t it? It’s a boat!”

Boat people are very pernickity about this kind of thing, I've noticed - and I have a father and a brother who fall into this category, so I should know!

“All right, then. If you say so.” He grins. Pull the tiny remote out of his pocket. Taps a button.

James lets out an impressively inarticulate noise, and nearly falls out of his chair.

Evil, evil man! I thoroughly approve... ;)

And then there was some lovely, lovely angst right there in the middle, in which I wanted to hug both of them. After I'd got done hooting at Kevin finding unexpected things in his restroom, of course!

[luninosity]

This section totally had the most intense sex scene. *laughs* Michael is evil, and no one minds. Especially not James.

Boat people really do care! Passionately so. I have friends who would be very grumpy about that moment. Which of course makes it fun to tease them.

There had to be some angst in this section; things couldn't just keep on smoothly getting better, after all. Minor speed bumps do happen. But at least they're willing to talk, and communicate, when something's wrong. Yay for healthy relationships! :-p

(That second Kevin moment was a last-minute add; I thought we needed to come back to that and see some sort of reaction! Poor Kevin. Though he does take it well...)

Michael is evil, and no one minds. Especially not James.

Nope, definitely no minding over here! ;)

I have friends who would be very grumpy about that moment. Which of course makes it fun to tease them.

They're far too easy to wind up! I think there's a certain element of showing off in the insistence on correcting all the terms - look how clever I am with all my terminology... *g*

(That second Kevin moment was a last-minute add; I thought we needed to come back to that and see some sort of reaction! Poor Kevin. Though he does take it well...)

If anyone was going to take it well, it would be Kevin! Although heaven help them if he ever finds out who it really belongs to!

[luninosity]

I imagine they're going to continue to have fun with things that're pink. Out to dinner, on the film set...

I think there's a certain element of showing off in the insistence on correcting all the terms - look how clever I am with all my terminology...

Oh, yes. It's probably partly just wanting to get things right, of course, but also: hey, look what I know, and you don't! Also a very academic trait...

James, feeling guilty, totally sneaks over and cleans Kevin's bathroom. Kevin, who hasn't actually mentioned anything to anyone else yet, realizes that the only people he's told are James and Michael, so...

[glisterwolf]

James’s hair is busy making their pillows smell like apple shampoo.

I always associate your James with apple shampoo and ridiculously flavored coffee. Like how I associate your Charles with pineapple.

he’s still considering the world as if suspicious of its motives in producing early mornings.

I sympathize so deeply. Why world… why…

James moves his legs without being asked, parting them, letting Michael explore.

Unf. Actually, that whole scene is very unf worthy.

Kevin makes suggestions about charging admission

Hahhahaha I love it when Kevin shows up with the snark. And I love the banter onset about nautical terms.

and then they pull me out of the water and I’m all wet, and my clothes are all wet, and…

Oh dear. Although that would have made the movie even more interesting!

“It took five people, including me, to get me into this thing

And the fans are SO appreciative! I'd pull up a screen cap but licking my computer screen is probably not recommended.

I never want to hurt you, James, and I already have, and I can’t-” And

[luninosity]

I like all the little details! It's sort of...fun internal consistency, across fic universes? Besides, those things totally fit their characters. :-p (Oh, drat, I have to write more Erik/Charles holiday fic by tomorrow! *grumbles about lack of time*)

I am not at all a morning person. I think my most effective time is between, oh, 9am and either around 6pm (when Awesome Husband gets home), or, if it's a week when I have lots of grading, until around 10pm, at which point my brain decides we MUST be done being productive by now...

Hmm, I'm glad that first scene (initial typo: "that fist scene". oh dear...) works decently. That's one of the parts I kind of wanted to tinker with more, but...I decided to be done instead. It had to be sexy, and intimate, and very trusting...but without stealing the spotlight from the later scenes!

I feel like they all had FUN making this movie. And it's such fun to see that, in fic. Also, poor Kevin... (I need a good Michael-in-wetsuit icon. Or even shirtless...)

James recognizes when, although he may

[glisterwolf]

If you're productive at 9am, I think you're a morning person :p I'm productive from like... 11am until late afternoon, then again from about 9pm until 2am.

(I would approve of that typo :D) I really liked that scene!

Have you seen some of the new pics of him with Charlize Theron? The ones with the leather and the chains that I desperately want someone to photoshop James into? :D

Those makeup artists must love their jobs hahaha.

[luninosity]

Well, I'm at least answering emails and such by 9. If I have to be presentable and out of the apartment and teaching, or something, I'd rather class started at 10 or so, just so I'm awake and not wearing pajamas...

(Oh, no, really? I mean, I've written some fairly kinky thing, but I've always had grave doubts about the possibility of THAT one.) (Though you never know...) And, thanks for the encouragement! :D :D On rereading, I really like how honest they are, with each other. Even when somewhat reluctantly so, they do *want* to talk things over and make it all work, and they don't keep secrets. This is a GOOD relationship! Much better than the painfulness that was the Loving Days sequence! :-p

*pauses to check tumblr* *is dead* Good god. Excuse me while I stare at my computer for a while. (Michael: me, too...)

It's probably kind of a trying job, in some ways! I mean, how do you make those boys look MORE pretty...?

[raffi]

If I were a guy... I would have an obscene tent forming and staying there being rock solid. Thank you, dear madam, for giving me a turn on at work. The key words being at work, which is a torture, really.

Aside from that, the boys! Oh my sweet, sinfully delicious boys and your ways of um, widening, your expertise in the 'rainbow friends' field. And the story of the Orange one- oh dear! *giggles*

The first part was sweet, this one is scorching hot... what awaits me in the third one?

[luninosity]

At least it's making work more enjoyable, right? The good kind of torture? *innocent smile* And there's one more part to go...

This one, this prompt, HAD to be fun, despite the angst. Because they would see the humor in certain aspects of the situation. (At least Kevin's very unflappable!) I imagine Michael had fun shopping, too, picturing these things and (in) James...

The third one...hopefully both sweet AND hot? They do finally get to have the actual sex, and it is good! :-)

(your icon fits so perfectly here!)

[raffi]

Well, yes. In a way. I just wish there was a way to reach my husband after reading this, you know? ;)

Oh indeed! It's all about love and trust and willingness to try new things~ (And your Kevin is sheer brilliance!)

Mmmm, both sweet AND hot? Mmmm. *marches off to read*

(Also, this is completely irrelevant, but I happen to read the above comments and, um, *tries to conceal a smile* *fails* 5 feet? Really? Sweet mother of Jesus- that is so CUTE! ♥ *lost the ability to form any words*)

(Thank you~ I choose my icons wisely ;D)

[luninosity]

He could always come surprise you at work. (There's a very bad pun in that sentence, but I'm not going to make it.) Or after work, or to celebrate your anniversary...

It's all about love and trust and willingness to try new things Yep! And that's why they fit so well together, even if they don't exactly, er, fit, to begin with. They have faith that they can work things out, together, and there's no question about either of them being willing to try. Also, poor long-suffering--but surprisingly calm--Kevin! (James, feeling guilty, totally sneaks over and cleans Kevin's bathroom. Kevin, who hasn't actually mentioned anything to anyone else yet, realizes that the only people he's told are James and Michael, so...)

Hope part three is all that you would want, in terms of sweet-hotness!

(5 feet, 1 inch, technically! I want credit for my inch! *laughs* I don't know about cute, but I suppose I don't mind being short; easier to surprise people! Though much harder to get books down from tall shelves.)

Much as I enjoyed this (and that was very, very much), I'm just wondering if you're going to address the fact that James seems kind of confused about the definition of sex? Because he's been having lots of it, yet he seems to only count the penis-penetrating-orifices-that-aren't-mouths varieties, which is a very limited way of looking at things(and problematic for us lesbians!). Also, someone should tell these two lovely men about rimming! It really does help :)

[luninosity]

Oh, hmm, things to think about! (Though I am glad you're liking so far--and thank you for reading!)

which is a very limited way of looking at things

Entirely true, and I probably should've been better about addressing that! I was mostly focusing on the prompt, which was nudging this in a certain direction, but, yes, of course they're already having sex! And, as Michael says, at least for himself, he'd be perfectly happy just doing what they're doing, forever. (So maybe that's a bit of that acknowledgement, then?) The problem--and it is a *problem*--is that James is very insecure, as far as that goes, and is assuming that they need penetrative sex. Which is wrong, of course, but he thinks it's important. So they need to address that.

Oh, rimming...gosh. I should've written that, I even thought about it, but...that's one of those acts I just can't, er, get behind. As it were. Personally, I mean. And that's not casting aspersions (hey, I originally came from Supernatural fandom, EVERYTHING goes) and I think they probably should've

[disbelief11]

I love how James can't say buttplug. And how he's not a morning person. And the sudden realization of how he can't have a buttplug in when he's filming the water scene. Oh boys.

Also, James nearly falling off his chair when Michael first turns on the vibrating plug made me laugh so much. Ungh. These two = HOT.

[luninosity]

I admit, James can't say it in part because I'm not sure *I* can, out loud! Such a strange word. Not precisely mellifluous. (The little morning-routine moment is one of my favorites in this whole thing, in fact. They're so...cuddly and relaxed and comfortable and in love. *sigh*)

Michael has evil plans, clearly. (After all, he did the shopping...) James isn't going to argue, though. He's just going to emphatically approve. :-)
