Loved! The characters were dead on perfect, and I loved Stella's list. Heh. In total agreement with Stella that Mac should wear t-shirts more often, because *yum*. :D And do you have any idea how much you made my day with the words "every possible pairing on the show"? This means someone besides me (when I finally find the time, which isn't looking likely this month) will be writing something Flack/Lindsay-ish. Oh, happy day! :D

[scarletts_awry]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. If you ask me Mac needs to follow Stella's list through to the letter. Heh, I'm starting to wonder what I've gotten myself into, saying I'll write every possible pairing on the show, but this way there's something for everyone isn't there? (And I know what it's like wanting someone, anyone, else to write a pairing--I keep hoping for Mac/Hawkes to catch on.)

[shadow_diva]

Oh, he so does need to follow to the letter. Definitely. :D And every possible pairing? Heh. That's a lot of pairings, lol. Still, I'm looking forward to reading, especially the Flack/Lindsay, 'cause yeah, it's a little frustrating to be like, the only one on the ship, lol, especially when there's no fic to read (except what I one day soon hope to find actual time to write - but that's boring; I already know how it ends, lol). But ooh! This week is new, and according to CSI Files, Stella, Lindsay, and Flack are working a case, so maybe I'll finally get a scene. Of course, Mac, Lindsay, and Flack worked a case in one of the earlier episodes, and I got nothing. *sigh* Oh well, guess we'll have to see, right?

(And you'll be interested to know, Mac, Hawkes, and Danny are supposed to work the other case. ;))

Math and I are not friends, so I don't know exactly how much I've said I'll write. A lot? I'm afraid to try and figure it out. There may even be some threesomes. Because I'm absolutely insane like that. (I signed up for two fanfic100 claims).

And thanks for the heads up--I haven't read CSI Files in a couple days, so I didn't know the news. That sounds great because they haven't worked together in that combination yet, have they? I do wish the writers etc would keep better track and mix things up so everyone has scenes with each other.

Have I mentioned lately that I love the Hypergraphia challenge? Because I do. And this is a great start to the whole project. They're so great together, and it's nice to see how Stella's good sense, and sense of humor, work to bring Mac out of his usual shell. The writing itself is both sexy and sweet, and of *course* she would write a to-do list on his arm. The items on it are so perfectly Stella, too.

[scarletts_awry]

*grin* Thanks! Now that I've officially stated my intentions with this project, I wonder what I've gotten myself into, saying I'll write a fic for each possible pairing (and I suspect a couple threesomes). But I have a theory that any pairing can hypothetically work, and now the academic in me has to prove the theory.

Stella is so good for Mac, regardless of whether their relationship involves sex or not, and I don't think I fully understood it from the inside until I wrote this. And I'm glad the items on the list work, because I spent a good while thinking them through.

[stellaluna_]

I think so, too; I think a good writer can make just about any pairing work well and believably. I'll never rule out reading any story just based on pairing, whether it's one I'm immediately drawn to or not. (Now, *quality*, on the other hand...) So I'm very excited to read the rest of the stories in this challenge. Also, yay for threesomes.

Stella is so good for Mac, regardless of whether their relationship involves sex or not, and I don't think I fully understood it from the inside until I wrote this.

She really is. Whether their relationship is sexual or not, they both need each other, and I think that's what gets to me most about the two of them. It's such a deep bond, no matter what.

*nodnod* I'm really not fond of Gil/Sarah (oddly enough since it's the closest to canon), but one of the best Vegas fanfics I've read *was* Gil/Sarah.

I *knew* I wanted to write a one-shot Flack/Stella/Hawkes simply for the fun porny goodness, but now I'm concerned that it wants to be more than that. And if you don't mind I'm going to blame you, because Stella wondering if the job might wear some of Hawkes's sanity away seemed to push my brain over the edge.

Mac and Stella are so good together. She is the perfect balance for him. I could just see her writing on his arm its just such Stella thing to do.....and Mac would let her because its Stella and lets face it we all know that Mac would do ANYTHING for Stella. Bet he wont wash it off either.

I so loved this so sweet and so them.....off to bed thinking happy Mac Stella thoughts...*g*

[scarletts_awry]

Thanks. *nod* Mac would do anything for Stella, and he's smart enough to let Stella do anything for/to/with him. They are very good together, and as I was just telling stellaluna_, I don't think I understood the relationship (with or without sex) from the inside until I wrote this. Glad to send you to bed with happy thoughts :)

“You’re just saying.”
I can just *hear* him say that, and I can see the face he's making, and just.. *grin*

Stella is fabulous. Your Stella is fabulous.

This fic leaves me with the inexplicable urge to write fic set in Stella's apartment. It would be cozy, and there would be food.

[scarletts_awry]

I swear, this story is still making me grin twenty-four hours later, and stuff I write doesn't typically have that effect on me. Thank you. I'm glad you like it, though I feel like I can't take credit for the fabulousness of the Stella--I'm only trying to channel it as best I can.

Ooh, Stella's apartment would be lovely and very personal. Writing fic set there sounds like a great idea.

(And the first thing that pops into my head? it'd be the perfect place to recover from something traumatic.)

[binglexjells]

Eeeeep! I've just woken up, I'm lying in bed with my laptop at an impossible angle balanced on my hip, I feel ill and suddenly I spot this fic. I'm all better now! ♥ that was abso-damn-lutely fandamntastic, I could hear them speak those words in my head - and see Stella write on his arm. So cute. *squeal* You have the characters down perfectly, the items on the list are definitely ones I can see Stella putting on a list for Mac.

*wanders off with intentions to write the rest of her own M/S fics*

[scarletts_awry]

Thanks! *grin* I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.
