I love your writing and you don't write nearly often enough! I particularly love how you made me believe (as POB so often does...) that time had moved on and they really were in bed together - but no, I was as startled as Jack to discover he was only dreaming and was still sitting on the bench outside the hospital. No wonder he blushed! A gorgeous little oakum, please please please write more - you really should! *nudges firmly*

[esteven]

Thank you! :)
I feel Stephen did interpret the blush right, even though he did not let on.
Let's hope the Crown has more ice.

[derien]

Oh, Stephen can recognize a blush and a patch of rambling for what it is, I'm sure. ;)

nice, very nice. ;)

[esteven]

*g*
Esp when it is Jack who rambles.... ;)

[zilah1]

Oh, dear God!

I think I'm blushing here as much as Jack. This was sweet and hot. Everything I want from fanfiction. Thank you making my day, Esteven my dear.

*Hugs*

*returns hugs*

Eeeeep! Brava! :D
I hope Jack gets to live out his fantasy later. *g*

Happy Christmas, darling E!

[esteven]

Thank you! :)
I am sure the Crown has enough ice.

And to you too!

[amaraal]

I vote for a spring prOn!prompt!!! We need one obviously :)

Did they really sucked drinks through straws back then? Just asking. But the image of Stephen "...cramming his knuckles into his mouth..." = ^^. Jack blushing is supersweet, too :)

I second heather_mist's request: you definitely should write more!!!!

[esteven]

Good idea! Will you host it?
*beams*

I think the old Sumerians invented drinking through a straw...and anyway, PO'B mentions this in BatM. *g*

I will, when a bunny hops my way.

Thank you.

[amaraal]

*blushes* Naaa. I'm too shy :)

Haven't read BatM yet :) Today the last two books arrived. YAY! If only in german.

*shoos bunny your way*

[esteven]

You are not shy, dear.
Come on, do your stint at PD and host it in spring. We will be delighted :)

In German? :( Do not trust the translations. They once left out a page in HMSS

"... he hoped that Stephen had not suspected the reason for his sudden loquacity and the blush that must still heighten his cheeks."

Oh Stephen's a wise old bird, I'm sure he put two and two together . . .

How lovely to find Jack dreaming away in the sunshine - thank you!!

[esteven]

*nods*
I guess that's why he only acknowledged supper with Mr Wright.

I am pleased you liked this little fic. Thank you :)
