Rare indeed it is to stumble across fanfiction tingling with beautiful words and sparkling, mesmerising the senses like this. You are truly talented, and I only beg you to write more! This piece is like prose poetry; it's a joy to read. Thank you!

"Dip the light up on the tips of our fingers, smudge its musky kohl under our eyes." .... vivid, incredible imagery....

Wow. *gibbers* You are far too generous with your words, but thank you! I'm very glad you liked it. :)

*nods* I'd like to see more Billy POV's too. I think Billy is a hard nut to crack (no pun intended) - there just seems to be a greater sense of privacy about him than you sense with Dom (although it is all assumption anyway).

Aw, you're a sweetheart. Thank you very much! :D

*grin* No, you're right. And they definitely are perfectly complementary. The dynamic duo.

This is lovely! I <3ed it from the moment I recognized one of my favourite Monty Python moments... and then after that it was just gorgeous.

Gotta love Life of Brian. :)

And thank you so much! So glad you liked it.

More than beautiful. Poetry. Lovely aching poetry that made my heart melt a little (as well as my knees).

Why do I get the distinct impression this is exactly the way Billy would think?

I was struck, really, by the fact that ever single line you have written is breathtaking. The fact that most fics would be considered good if they had even one of your sentences, and that one part would be what made everyone gasp, what was quoted over and over again in comments. The fact that the reader has to pause after each sentence just long enough to regain the simple motion inhale . . . exhale.

One of the loveliest things . . . ever, really.

*melts like butter*
Guh! Thank you so much! I just... wow, thank you for the extraordinarily nice feedback. &hearts

And I'm very glad you could imagine Billy thinking this way. I struggled with that part of it because, clearly, it's not Billy's recognizable "exterior" voice - the one we all know and love from interviews, appearances, etc. So it truly is taking liberties (more than usual, I mean).
