Oh I love this so much it's almost indecent! Beautiful descriptions, fantastic Isaac voice, and such a lovely ruination of clothing and good sense at the end.

The paint gets me every time, every damn time, and these two are just so pretty it's insane! Thank you!

[paperclipbitch]

Oh, thank you so much! I have so many doubts about this (I think I had a temperature at the time of writing it, which never helps) so I'm glad you liked it. I feel more reassured now :D

There is something about paint, isn't there? I had this mental image of Isaac with paint running down his back, and couldn't work out how to get it in anywhere. Then, I realised that there is very little Isaac/Nathan out there, which is ridiculously sad, so a new ship was born...

It worked beautifully, hell you made me want to write the pairing! Because it's true there is...is there any of it at all? I certainly don't remember seeing any? And I have to admit that image of Isaac with paint running down his back was just beautiful. I wanted it! I also want to add some dry moss to the tiny embers of this new ship!

[paperclipbitch]

hell you made me want to write the pairing!

That was the general idea ;) I wanted to encourage anyone who saw this to think "hang on, why haven't we written any Isaac/Nathan that paperclipbitch could have read before she embarked on her own, solo, quest?" I found some as part of an orgy!fic, and that was it. I have looked. I have looked very hard. *sighs*

If you want to add dry moss to the embers (which really sounds dirtier than it should) then please feel free :D

Isaac/paint = love

Once again you lure me into reading a fandom before I've seen all of the source material, but with the first two eps under my belt, this still made plenty of sense, and totally delivers the heat.

I'm a little dubious about Issac's being able to (ahem) perform (or deliver devastating dialogue) under the circumstances, but as always, I get swept away in your prose and the reality no longer matters.

One typo note from the last line: Isaac honestly can’t be assed to fight him.

While it has a certain poetry of it's own, I'm pretty sure that's not what you meant to type.

[paperclipbitch]

Oops. Well. Um. Yay for inappropriate luring!

You are probably right, but it'll be boring if I have to have him being actually incapacitated from drug addiction/withdrawal ;) I'm still figuring it all out.

And as for the typo thing... I think that must be another US/UK language thing, or possibly me writing at one a.m and being crazy again. 'Cause if I can't be arsed to do something, it means I can't be bothered, but do you guys not have that in the US?

I should really just stick to UK language-based fandoms...

[karaokegal]

You should NOT only stick to UK based fandoms for obvious reasons. However to the best of my knowledge that is not a US idiom at all. I assumed you meant "asked," which sort of made sense. It probably doesn't matter. Your UK readers know what you mean, and we state-siders could extrapolate or just be swept away and not care. IF I were a Beta on this, I'd probably suggest a re-phrase back to "bothered" or some other way to convey the idea, but ignore me cos you're brilliant and it's your story.

[paperclipbitch]

Have switched it to "bothered" since it's actually meant to be set in the US and therefore using correct language is always nice. Thank you sweetie, I really don't know what I'd do without you :D

Funny and hot! You write Isaac so brilliantly ("Pay me enough for my next fix, and I’ll even do your damn horoscope for the next month. All I need is your starsign..." = WIN), which is why I'm totally glad you're into Heroes now. And yay for Nathan/Isaac, you made it work!

[flwrpwr_vampyre]

Wow, I can't believe I didn't read this before. It's insanely hot and I'm completely in love with your Isaac. He's so snarky and bitter.

[paperclipbitch]

In all fairness, I didn't post this to any communities 'cause I had doubts about it, so it would've been tricky for you to read this before!

Thank you so much honey.

I always thought I was the only person had daydreamed this pairing.

I was here re reading another story, decided to surf your icons, saw the icon and found this story.

And I love you for it. It's messy and unsentimental and snippy and dark and angry and perfect. It's wonderful.

Thank you for sharing.
