This is beautiful, and real, and so completely in-character, and just...yeah. Lovely. I really have nothing more substantial to add to that.

What a nice comment! I'm so glad you liked it, and thank you for taking the time to feedback--I really appreciate it. :-)

Your Radek is the character I see when I watch SGA, only fleshed out beautifully. His voice, his demeanor, his mannerisms. Brilliant. I love the attraction that builds quickly. And the equations written on Radek's arms and how they get Evan hot. I could go on and on. Brilliant story. Thank you!

[pierson]

I can't tell you how happy it makes me when someone says they like the characterization--it's the ultimate compliment. *happy bounce*

This was such fun to write. I wasn't sure about Lorne, but I've liked him from the first time I saw him--obviously smart, dry sense of humor, pretty unflappable. And much with the pretteh. Heh. I've been wanting to see if I could pair them up, and this challenge gave me the excuse. :-)

I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for taking the time to comment!

Quiet and calm, the way your stories seem to be now. I liked it - very comfortable. :D

[pierson]

Aww, thanks, sweets! *hugs you*

[iocane]

*squees* *squees some more* *wraps herself in this fic and goes to a lovely happy place*

This is everything I could have hoped for. So sweet and hot and juuuust right. You'v got Radek's voice pretty darn near perfect as far as I'm concerned, lovely, wonderful and just ... awesome. I'd go on but I'm close to sounding like a thesaurus as it is. :)

(Sorry it took so long to reply - wanted to have time to sit down and read and properly savor)

Heh. And just how amusing is it that I wrote for you and you wrote for me? Pretty damn funny, I tell you. :-D

I'm so glad you liked it. It was really a lot of fun to write, and came together so nicely--it was a great prompt. I love Radek of course, and I'd been wanting to try pairing him with Lorne, and this was the best excuse. I've liked Lorne since I first saw him onscreen--obviously smart, wry, dry sense of humor, and practically unflappable. So yay for you!

:-)

Oh this is just wonderful. I love the way Radek talks about Rodney - such honest respect and admiration, despite his flaws. The Lorne/Radek scene on the beach - SO VERY HOT, despite the fact that they were mainly just kissing! And Rodney interrupting it, literally, made laugh out loud. All your characterisations are perfect, I absolutely adore your Radek voice. I won't start quoting my favourite bits, 'cause I'll be here all day, but it was all very, very good. And this was the first time I've been sold on Evan as a first name for Lorne.

It was *such* a good prompt--I was really lucky. The story just fell into place around it. That's the way I see Rodney--he has many, many flaws, but just as many good qualities, and no one ever seems to focus on them, canonically. Which is a real shame, because Rodney is a good guy, and really so brave.

I prolly rated the story too high, given it was just a bit of kissing and a little gropage, but anyhoo. I'm glad you think it's hot, because I never think anything I write is. :-) And yes, Rodney *would* interrupt!

I'm so glad you liked the story, and thanks so much for taking the time to drop a comment--I appreciate it.

(And I need to read the other stories. Sheesh.)
