He didn't even hear her come in, which is odd. Usually he knows. He always knows.

I love that line. It reminded me of the last scene in TLG when he knew she was awake without looking at her.

And I love the drawn out UST that just made me bounce in my seat and brought tears to my eyes at the same time. How I wish TPTW had not been skulls full of mush.

Thank you so much for the beautiful comment! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. :)

*sigh* stupidest PTBs EVER. they could have made it so good and so interesting and awesome...but no. Fail.

You call this fluff? Cause then you have a pretty skewed definition of it. But i LOVE the angst, the longing, the love all of which come trough your words. This is so powerful and quiet and beautiful. Perfect!

But nobody dies! And there's no Lifeline! And there was kissing! And and and No nanites, no angstywoe John! That's pretty good for me, lol.

But yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And thank you so much for the beautiful comment. ♥

Oh wow. What an incredible fic.

I started out grinning pretty much the entire time, and thinking "Oh, I'll have to quote that as my favourite line. And that one too. Wait, that's another" but then I realized I'd just be quoting half the story back to you and so just settled in and enjoyed the read. :)

It starts out lighthearted and fun and then it hits the point that you just feel for John, who's in love with Elizabeth but she's not ready yet to reciprocate, and he's sad but hopeful and, and, and....

Wonderful story. And hooray for happy endings! Great work. :)

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! *blushes* I'm really glad you enjoyed it (and grinned through it!). :D

This is such a lovely fic. I love the 'five things' format, it just seems to allow authors to snapshot what makes a character or a relationship so great.

staring rudely at his boss without proper intake of oxygen is not a good plan.
This was awesome. I have a deep and abiding love for 'alien dress-up/John speechless' fic.

Number four was my favourite, but mostly because my other weird kink is smitten-and-slightly-clueless John. There are so many great lines in this fic I can't quote a tenth of them, but I second every nice thing everyone else has said.

Five things are epically fun (if sometimes ridiculously hard) to write. :D

I have a deep and abiding love for 'alien dress-up/John speechless' fic.
Hehee! Me too. John doing ridiculous things (like dress up in frilly pants) to subtly show is undying love for Elizabeth always makes me giddy. *g*

Slightly-clueless-John is adorable. Especially when he's clueless about Lizabeth.

I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you so much for the wonderful comment.
