Squeee! That is excellent! I love the dialogue with all the snap and sassy, but still so affectionate.

And now I am hearing Raymond Burr in my head. Not that that is a bad thing...

Thank you! *g* I've always loved the show since I was a kid, but it only occurred to me recently that they were slashable. They're really very handsome men with a lot of chemistry.

never seen the show, so i read it as OC's, and I liked it :-D

[carodee]

Aw, thank you. That's quite a compliment. I'm so glad it still worked for you.

That just rocks the house! So well written, clever dialogue, great first-person p.o.v. -- and still slashy!

And what a great title.

I absolutely love it.

Hey, thanks! *g* It was mostly dialogue because I couldn't fit smut in with a prompt of "sporting event". I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

I just rekindled a long-ago interest in Perry Mason so of course I went looking for slashfic. I'm so glad I happened upon this one first.

Stuff I love:

1. Paul's POV. When I was a kid (I watched this show all the time in reruns) I thought Paul Drake was the hottest thing going. I wanted to be Della so he'd look at me and say "Hiya, Beautiful!" But I digress. You've perfectly captured his personality - brash, bold and fun.
2. Perry is completely focused on the game. Well, of course he is! That's what makes him a great lawyer. You've got him down, right to the "I'm not sure it's in my best interest to represent you when you're suing me."
3. A World Series game, two hundred bucks in my pocket, and Perry Mason in my bed. Lady Luck was sure smiling at me today. That's just a fun, fun line and a great summary.

Terrific job!
