I'm really enjoying it the way it has been going, so I have no criticism. I want more of course, but that comes in good time I know;) I also want to add that the attention to detail where the realtionships are concerned - Sean's ability to read Orlando, even over the line, and Viggo's show of consideration that he saves only for Orlando - are really well done.

Thank you.

I know there are probably some typos b/c I'm too lazy to read thru this other than for some cursory details. I'm trying not to be too typical. There's a lot of between the lines things :). Didn't you like the Richard Sharpe scene? *giggles*

Viggo's a dear in this, temperamental artiste.

Yes, the Sharpe scene was very cute. I was thinking, "Yeah, that would be how I would act." Very endearing of Orlando. And of course Sean knew who Orlando was instantly because Viggo talked so much about him to his friend...that's a lovely touch too.

[nenyaentwhistle]

*chuckles* It only makes sense Orli has heard of Sean and not Viggo. Viggo hasn't yet done anything that Orli would have heard about, whereas Sean has in the UK :)

Somehow the idea that Viggo would neglect to tell Orlando he was an actor strikes me as funny but also completely in character. Because he doesn't see himself as an actor, does he? Acting's just another thing he does sometimes, in between painting and writing and photography and encouraging Orlando. I really enjoy this story and where you may go with it.

[nenyaentwhistle]

I thought it would be a v. Viggo thing for him to do. I think Viggo's more of an artist than an actor :). And you did nail down what I'd implied. Did you find the Richard Sharpe scene hilarious?

[oceansecrets2]

I did - especially Sean's glee when he realizes how excited Orlando is to meet him, and yet doesn't realize Viggo acts as well. (Though obviously this is before Vig hit it 'big'.) Makes me wonder if Orlando's getting into acting was an attempt to emulate Viggo?

[nenyaentwhistle]

*winks* You'll certainly find out what gets Orli into acting, eh? Beanie's just great. I love him. So dastardly and dashing. Isn't that a great combination? So when is your premiere event? Or did it already happen?!

[nenyaentwhistle]

I think the problem is that Vig has known Orli since he was 13. That makes it sort of hard in some ways not to see Orli as a boy. And even Sean, knowing him at 18, though it's not as bad since he's really a young man then.

Oh god, I'm short and the cheapie seats stink. And why would you put yourself through the misery of a 22 hr. flight??? Then again -_- I threw up in an 11 hr flight.

Oh this is really good, I'm really enjoying it, it's a great original idea. More please! :)

[nenyaentwhistle]

Working on it dear.

The flashbacks make this story really intriguing. I am so curious what happened in 2000 , when Orlando lived at Viggo's place. And what's with the sculpture Orlando made in 1990?

There is this easy going friendship between the three of them, they all seem to know each other so well. But Viggo isn't really seeing Orlando as an adult yet apparently.

[nenyaentwhistle]

*hums* The main story line is definitely 2005, but some of the others are fairly significant as well. You'll definitely see more scenes from 90, 95, and 00. No fears.

It's the 13 syndrome! Silly Viggo, Orli's 28 now :)
