[mingsmommy]

Thanks! I appreciate you taking time to read and comment. It means a lot.

[wojelah]

MING

OH MY GOD MING

THE LEVELS OF FLAILING OVER HERE

I CANNOT EVEN FIND PUNCTUATION

OR CAPSLOCK OFF

SO HERE IS MY LIVE SQUEE AS I READ

[wojelah]

Smitty: Did you see your fic???
Woj: NO OMG
Smitty: OMG GO LOOK
Woj: EEEEEEEEEEEEE. There is a lot of flailing occurring in my immediate vicinity
Smitty: hahaha. You should totally squee as you go
Woj: PENELOPE GARCIA. CROSSHAIRS. CONFOUND NOT THE WILL OF THE GODDESS
Smitty: because I seriously think this is some of the best stuff ming's ever written and it's all for YOU
Woj: Emily burying her face in her hands
but he just gives her that look he has that says, why are we still talking about this? and assures her that he's glad to do it
WE KNOW THAT LOOK
Smitty: YES WE DO
Smitty: "James Bond for the geriatric set."is a favorite of mine
Woj: Emily driving! And YES. FOR THE GERIATRIC SET
Sorry. I will try to tame the capslock
Smitty: let the capslock fly free!
Woj: i am doing the same thing i did with acute angles - trying to read slowly so it lasts longe AWWWW. JUST THE FEMME FATALE. OMG. That is EEEEEEEEEEE
Smitty: awwwwww!
Woj: Also, the dress and his compliments and her TOTAL INABILITY TO TAKE THEM

[wojelah]

Woj: SO much
and the whole convo that follows
especially because she walks RIGHT INTO her mother's question about Rossi
AND THEN GETS THIS FOR AN ANSWER:
"That's a shame," Elizabeth sighs.
Smitty: and hten is all FLAIL OMG
Woj: YES
Smitty: Emily would like to crawl under a table now, thnx
Woj: Also, omg love: There's a perfunctory knock and the door knob rattles and Emily is on her feet, standing in front of her mother before the door is completely opened. She nearly wilts at the sight of Rossi standing there. "Dave," she breathes.
AND THIS
He gives her a reassuring smile. "They had him on the ground before he could say 'please remove your knee from my kidney.'
And THEN
They TALK ABOUT HER WHEN SHE IS RIGHT THERE.
Smitty: make sure you quote the kidney line at her for me
Woj: I LOVE THIS.
Smitty: YES THEY DO
Woj: THIS IS HUGE WIN
Smitty: it is ALL WIN
Woj: HUGE HUGE WIN
ALSO THIS:
Staring at the image in front of her, Emily is again contemplating the possibility that she has somehow shifted to an alternate universe. Her mother is not

[wojelah]

Woj: his bow tie is untied and his collar is open. He’s casual and elegant at the same time and Emily thinks about her mother saying he is “quite attractive.” It’s true, she realizes; she’s always been aware he’s a nice looking man, but she acknowledges the truth of those words looking at him now. David Rossi is a very attractive man.
YES YES YES HE IS PRENTISS
Smitty: that was the part I was all, "We need to see this in canon."
and now ming is all, "PLEASE LEAVE THIS COMMENT WHENEVER THEY MAKE OUT"
Woj: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OH MY GOD I AM OUT OF FIC

Ming. I love it. SO MUCH.

[citymusings]

WOW! I'm glad failegaidin sent me to look at this. It's amazing! The whole feel of it, the voices, and everything are just wonderful. The security breech was a great touch and a great time for the Ambassador to plant thoughts in Emily's mind. I like your characterization of Elizabeth Prentiss too.

Can't wait for more!

[mingsmommy]

Yay! I am so glad you like it!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment. I really appreciate it. And thank you for the kind words.

[citymusings]

I'm glad I do too! I love a good Rossi/Prentiss fic and this was certainly a great one. Write more quickly. :P (Don't mind me, I just pester because I like it so much)

[zamboni12]

Oh my, Lisa, when I saw your post I became aware of my sin of not having continued writing you help_haity fic. It certainly has to do with my current situation, but this is both a lame excuse and an appology. I´m so sorry but I promise, I´ll make a new start and give you your well deserved story. I swear!

Now, I´m going to read your story. Comment is for sure :-)

I love you, Heike

[mingsmommy]

Heike, please don't worry about it. You have had so much going on...seriously, your current situation is too stressful.

I love you and want you to not feel any stress on my account. Let it go and don't worry about it any more!

*hugs*

[zamboni12]

Lisa, I appreciate your understanding and I know you would never ever pressure me but I WANT to continue it. The story is well advanced and I don´t want to give up on it. It´ll be probably the longest story I´ve ever written in English language. I just need a fresh start to get into it again, I can´t say how long it will take...wait and see. It will happen this year ;-)

I love you more than I can say! Enjoy your special day!

[zamboni12]

And you won´t probably miss another story with Rossi in a tux and a bit hanky-panky without it :-)
Also staring: Ambassador Prentiss and some opera singer

I'm with Smitty - some of that stuff just appeared after I read it for the 1M time. ;) And I'm glad it did. For every ounce of blood sweat and tears you've put in to this you've gotten a pound of awesome in return. I've told you so many times that I love your Garcia that I'm ashamed to say it again. You just have such a knack for her that it amazes me. As for the rest - it's just wonderful. Full of wry humor and gentle attraction and an undercurrent of mutual admiration. Very, very well done.

[mingsmommy]

That's the thing about having such amazing betas, they tell you to fix or change something and it causes a shift and openings for new idea.

I can't thank you enough for all of the work you put into this, reading line by line, cheering me on, offering help and suggestions. It would not be anything near what it is without you.

You're the best and I love you.
