CAMILLE.

U G H. Take these feels away please! I DO NOT WANT THEM. First, as ever, it's such a pleasure to read your writing. You have such a knack for making small, transient moments palpable. I feel like I can reach out and touch the the beats between the dialog. And speaking of the dialog, I love how much of it serves as a counterpoint to what's going on beneath Jim's skin - all of Jim's one liners to bones felt spot on, ugh, because of course Jim's going to be obnoxious right after he's basically fucked Bones's face off and then curl up into Bones. JIM'S FEELINGS, I CAN NOT HANDLE THEM.

Ugh, as much as I loved the porn (and I did, you know I did, and I can not believe you credited me with that line w o w you are doing nothing to help my reputation. I swear to god I read right before Jim slams back home. and I seriously went wow this kind of rough, bones's jaw is going to hurt and then I got to the line and died laughing like WHAT HAVE A WROUGHT). I think my favorite section is between Bones calling Jim and asshole and the pin

WHAT IN THE FUCK EVEN ARE THESE NEW COMMENT PAGES. i hit 'reply' and my jaw actually dropped, is it weird that i'm kind of into it. i wept briefly for the demise of 10pt verdana, but i'm totally over it.

anyway. morgan. M O R G A N. perfection: this comment. i want to crawl into it and set up camp forever, because you seriously know how to spoil someone with feedback, gurl. You have such a knack for making small, transient moments palpable. I feel like I can reach out and touch the the beats between the dialog. WOMAN, STOP THIS. can i make a scarf out of these two sentences and wrap it around myself ugh. that is such a genuine pleasure to hear, and INCIDENTALLY, it is something that totally applies to your writing as well, and is in fact one of my absolute favorite things about your writing, so the fact that you think i pull it off on any level is just - punch this smile off my face, please! thanks.

ahhhhh, i love that you pointed out specific portions that worked especially well for you. i cannot tell you how happy that makes me.

ugh. just.. i've been late for work two days in a row now and you NOT HELPING but that was so worth it. your writing is incredible and i love how it can be both hilarious and heartbreaking.

His stomach clenches with the certain knowledge that he’d let Bones take him apart, too. Without thinking, he’d let him. you have their individual voices down so well; i loved how pained jim was by the realisation and everything's just perfect and ugh. yes. continue!

[shecrows]

"both hilarious and heartbreaking," oh man, thank you so very much. i try to cover both, so that's a wonderful comment to receive. thank you for reading and commenting!

This is gorgeous! The smut was deliciously detailed and hot, and you did a lovely job with the emotional shifts throughout Jim and Bones's conversation.

[shecrows]
