I'm so glad someone did the secretary in love with their boss.

And this was delightful!

Secretary in love with boss = classic! Of course, I love it when the man has to be the mousy secretary.

Glad you liked!

I am SQUEAKY with love for this story. Eeep. Such an awesome way to do Weir/Zelenka.

[kylielee1000]

Why thank you! I always like Squeaks Of Love. I myself haven't gotten over the fact that this is kinda...het. What's that about??

I think this is the perfect pairing for this kind of silly story.

Well obviously you should be writing trashy romance novels for a living.

*considers at above statement*

Um, that was a compliment?

It was great. And Zelenka was so cute :)

I'll keep this in mind! I wrote this to be pretty straight up, but I was giggling as I was typing, esp. the long descriptions of what people were wearing, because all the conventions are just so...silly.

Glad you liked! And Zelenka is nothing BUT cute.

Not my normal pairing, but that was just incredibly sweet and fun. Such quiet yearning. I want to hug Zelenka.

Me neither. Het? What's that about? I've only written one other het story (and it was in a slash series).

Glad you liked!

Oh. Oh. I have to grin now; this story made me very happy. I loved all the work you did translating the SGA universe into this one, so that it retained the essence of the original show. And oh, Radek and Elizabeth! ::sigh:: He was adorable, and she was strong, and I squeak with enjoyment.

Oh, I'm so glad, because...well...crack!fic, you know. It's yummy.

It was interesting to write the big scene at the end, where Elizabeth professes her love, and that everything Zelenka did, she interpreted, because in the romance novels, the man always says that, but I wanted to retain her character and the fact that she's a woman. So instead of being big and strong and sweeping Zelenka away, she had to be big and strong while being ready to sob in despair, in a girlie way, because...she's a girl.

You know?

Anyway, glad you grinned and squeaked.
