This was so perfect. I felt like I could feel the fabrics and taste the absinthe. And I'm so glad they finally got it figured out. <3

This is beautiful.

I felt like I could feel the fabrics and taste the absinthe then my work is done! ;D That's so cool, I worked so hard at this without, I hope, smothering the reader in too much detail.

Thank you for letting me know you liked this, bb -- it truly means a lot!

What a gorgeous conclusion! (And hot too, of course. *g*) I like that Bones isn't fighting anymore, either against Jim or himself, and that they seem a bit more like equals.

[sangueuk]

they seem a bit more like equals. That was definitely how I wanted it to feel for the reader at the end since, as I joked in my summary, Bones was in danger of coming over as a flouncy debutante! A growly one ;D Thanks for the lovely fb, bb!

That was just the most beautiful chapter - still achingly sad in places with Bones' and Jim's baggage from the past haunting their present. I felt myself totally carried away and immersed in another place and time (which is why I read in the first place). Now I'm going to start at the beginning and read all the way through again so I can fully experience the beauty of this story and your writing.

I felt myself totally carried away and immersed in another place and time this, and the whole of your comment, thrilled me to bits. I'm so flattered that you would want to re-read it too! Comments like this are cake! Thank you - you've left me all blushy!

Whoops. Just realized that I read this just before rushing out the door this morning, so I didn't get a chance to leave feedback.

This whole world is completely fantastic! Sexy and sweet and intriguing. I was definitely happy to see that you'd added more to it!

It's so nice of you to come back and comment - I know I don't always manage that when, for example, I fall asleep with my laptop or something! And appropriate icon is appropriate, lol!

Gorgeous last installment! The imagery is just so vivid and textured throughout...loved it, and of course, loved the resolution (and sex, yum) between the boys.

The imagery is just so vivid and textured throughout yay because I worked hard on this -- thanks for reading, bb! (Hope you liked my little bit of Sulu too ;D)
