ok ok ok this is some amazingly beautiful and fucked up porn and self-denial!daniel and manipulative!laurie (in more ways then one, winkwinknudgenudge) and kovacs at all times are wonderful but. but. HARGA'S HOUSE OF RIBS? that means we must be married, immediately.

Hee - I've been re-reading Terry Pratchett, can you tell? :)

Thanks!

You're back! It's back!

Oh god, this was a level of blistering hotness that just... guh. Such a treat, seriously. What a way to come back. I would pull out details I liked but there were just SO MANY. Porny fic sometimes runs the risk of severe OOC, but they were so them in this. Fuck I love this AU.

Thanks for that - I struggled with making these three do what I had in mind, so I'm glad they've come across ok in the end :)

Oh, fantastic!
I was really hoping there would be a new chapter soon, and... shizam! There is one!
Thank you so much!
As usual, this fic has me just shivering with awe and anticipation. You have the characters down brilliantly... and it never ceases to amazing me how you've adapted them for this au world. I absolutely love it.
^___^

P.S.
Laurie's use of that connection...?
Drop-Dead-Brilliant.
And... incredibly hot as well.

Thanks! I've really just expanded on a half-sentence or so in Neuromancer in a similar situation, where Molly pretty much just tweaks a nipple and smugs something like just think what I could be doing...and me being a porn-spewing monster was all and you aren't right now why?? :)

you know how I feel about this, but I'm going to add here that I love how imperfect everyone is here -- Laurie being thoughtless and a little mean, Kovacs spiraling into neurosis, and Dan, Dan caught between jealousy and immaturity and rescue fantasies and selfishness and love. This isn't a fixit, sex isn't lifting anyone above themeselves, it's just human and fucked up and incredibly, incredibly hot.

[mustinvestigate]

It's good to hear - I do love reading fix-its, but this was supposed to be more of a complicator. But most seriously, thanks for all your help with this - I don't know I ever would have finished this bugger without it!

Dreiberg instinctively tapped out a message on the frequency they used during tandem burns

aaww forever

I read this when I was cramming for finals, and it was really the best kind of distraction. Dan's desperate cluelessness at the beginning was hilarious, and I applaud Laurie for taking "What happens if I do this!" to new and sexy heights. But aawwww K was saying Dan's name and Dan never even suspected before, and now they're both in a sticky pile and explanations will be sought...I badly want to find out what happens next!

This comment has time-traveled me back a few years to bribing myself through crit theory papers with Starsky & Hutch slash. I have totally paid that karmic debt now :)

Glad you liked it, after all the trouble these three put me through! There's totally going to be an angst-lite transition after this, because I'm worn out with their drama and plot needs to happen :D
