Aw, love, you have no idea how much you have made my night (late as it is). The self-deprecation is ingrained permanently, I think - product of my upbringing and very bloody hard to shake off.
Making folks laugh out loud is honey for the soul (or cock if Allan is involved *grin*). Did I mention that since writing this at work my mind is stuck in the gutter? I'd forgotten how lovely it is.
He is, isn't he. Never really thought about that before. Almost tempted to try and write Lester now, but no, I know that Primeval fic and me don't fit. I wrote one a few months back and it was...er...bad - admittedly het (I should really know better) but still safer not to share, I think *grin*. I will just savour eveyone else's.
Although, now I've got this image stuck in my head of Lester and Snape at the Annual General Meeting of Morally Ambiguous Characters:
"Severus, old chap, how are things?"
"Distasteful as ever, James. Have I missed anything?"
"Most definitely not. They've put the Bond villains' misunderstood henchmen in charge of catering - again - and there's been an incident with some accidental poisoning of the vol-au-vents. Makes my team look efficient."
"Have they thrown away the food yet? I did promise to take the Headmaster back something from the trip. Do you think they'd object if I...?"
*grins* This is brilliant! Gah, Snape and his erm "offhanded" comments strike so true and he certainly is the only character that can get away with lines like that and still remain his calm. And clueless Sirius, so cute! *babbles on and on* Thank you so much for writing this. :D :D :D

I get it! ;)
And this had me laughing out loud:
"Are you going to proceed, or should I call out for some tea?" Snape's sharp voice cut into his thoughts.
& this:
"Behave, Black, or I will leave you to fight your scuttling entourage on your own."
Oh, Rospberry. You MUST stop with this self deprecation, ingrained as it may be.
It's not so much that your storytelling is ace (it is), it's more that I don't even notice I'm reading your words - they're so smoothly done.
And it's consistent. There's never a word out of place or a jagged arrangement or anything for the brain to trip over.
*loves it, loves it, loves it*

I'm cracking one out at the moment...
...a ficlet that is!!
And co-incidentally, it has Allan in it.
Spooky.
(Though not really, because Will/Allan has me in its pleasantly evil grip about now. Hoorah!)
And since it is after midnight - does that mean I have made your day? Ooh - a whole twenty two hours left!
