Thanks so much! It's really sweet of you to read it without knowing what it is about. ♥

You're welcome. I'm nosey about people's writing. Your prose is cut-glass clear, and also, the proportion of dialouge to description is nicely handled. First person pov is tricky, and I enjoyed Sookie's voice in this. And you had me at Eric unfurling his long legs when he leaned against the desk, lol.

I noticed you have a James/Regulus fic, and though you may be done with HP (don't know) may I suggest you post a link at the comm regulusjames? It's a pretty dead site, but the mod keeps things neat and tidy, and the limited submissions it has received are first class, as I'm sure yours would be. Only a suggestion.

ps friended your writing journal.

I'm not done with HP but I don't have a lot of time and too many unfinished chaptered fics. In fact, I am still writing on a Remus/Sirius one-shot but it's not my top priority right now.

I always feel bad for cross-posting old fic. It's nothing is from 2006. O_O But if you feel that this is okay, I would definitely post it there. I never really pimped this particular story.

Wonderful!! I love how well you've got sookie's voice - and the slight awkardness that's there with eric, that... kind of like a language barrier?? where they're so hot for each other physically but there's this culture thing that just separates them..

anyway, despite how badly i describe it, you got it right. kudos to you my dear.

Thank you so much!

I think the barrier between Sookie and Eric stems from their inability to define their relationship. They're not really girlfriend and boyfriend, they don't merely have the hawts for each other, they can live pretty well without the other but the mere thought of the other dying hurts them deeply. They're used to dance around each other.
