This was wonderful! It has been such a long time since I read any new M/K fics. I enjoyed reading this so much, you did an excellent job on it. :)

[namistai8]

Thanks! I love M/K and await for more Detained and some of the other great fics out there...

It strikes that Marcus and Katie wouldn't talk about 'being' in a relationship. I don't think Marcus is good with words or with typical romance.

Great drabbles. It's been awhile, since I've read any new M/K stories.
Enjoyed reading these, a lot.

Thanks! Out of curiosity, would you know what comm is appropriate for a Slytherin-centered fic? Most of it is one-sided.

[graygale]

Sorry, I don't know of any. Buf if you do find one; please tell me about it.

I really enjoyed that! Having done a 50sentence table myself, I know how ridiculously difficult it is. For such a challenging rarepair and challenging format, you really did a great job of setting up the relationship and making the reader feel their connection. I love #39 -- sort of an abrupt sentence that made my eyes widen, and then I squeed at all that's left unsaid about the beginning of their affair. :D

Since you said crit is welcome, though, I have a little bit? There are a few typos and verb agreement issues, ie: Marcus, like all other Slytherins, live in fear and awe of Snape [lives]. Some of the sentences also switch tense halfway through, ie: in #5, Gryffindor isn't that hard up, or #6, Katie finds it hard to breathe. Maybe give it one more slow read through to catch some of those tiny things?

Sorry if I've overstepped my bounds; I wouldn't bother pointing that out if I hadn't enjoyed it overall so much!

[namistai8]

No, no not at all. I wasn't paying attention, and I do have problems with verb agreement, esp. if I hurry something along and I do it in chunks, as opposed to one single go. Thanks for pointing out the mistakes and I'll fix them! :D

[namistai8]

Haha. Thanks! I love the icon!

This was wonderful! I love a good Marcus/Katie tale and this is a good one.

Thanks! I have to admit this is my outcropping of fanning jenszabo's Detained so hard.
