This is great!

“Because you stopped asking.”

That line just gave me chills. It all works so well, that, and her thinking that he lied and then finally catching up to Karl and realizing that she doesn't really need him anymore.

Thank you!

I really liked that section in the story, because I think I had the ending more thought out than the rest, so i'm glad it resonated with you as well.

I'm glad you enjoyed!

Oh wow. This is just gorgeous. And so, so clever working it in with the lost timeline. I am always amazed when authors manage to slip in little bits like that that make the story feel organic and true. So that was totally awesome.

Also?
Later, she’ll realize that it wasn’t that the matter was urgent; it wasn’t anything he couldn’t see Ben about over coffee in the morning. Later, when he’s got her pressed up against the wall, hands under her shirt, lips everywhere, her hot breath on his neck, she’ll realize that he knew Ben was gone all along.

HELLO! Haha. Please and Thank you! Look at you! I just... yeah. Mmmmhmmm.

She rolls to her side, sheets sticking to her skin as she moves. “Why are you telling me this now?”

He doesn’t look at her, he looks at the ceiling that looks blue in the moonlight that creeps in through the windows. “Because you stopped asking.”

Loved that line. Just.. loved it.

You rock my world!

Yay, you liked it! I'm always uneasy with new pairings, especially when I'm writing them for someone else, so I'm so relieved to hear that you liked it.

Honestly, I had no clue what kind of scenario to do with them, and since a lot of what I see is post-Season Three I went for something a little different. I'm glad that tying it in with the canon timeline worked for you.

I think that "because you stopped asking" was probably my favorite part to write, so I'm glad you liked it too.

Thanks for the awesome prompt, sweetie!

Ok, the characters in my head probably don't match those on the show, But I could picture this whole fic in my head, which is always a good thing. I liked it. I like how it starts off as a way to get power, but in the end, neither one has more power over the other .

Well since they're relatively knew there isn't much that we know about them. Looks wise, the girl in my icon is Alex.

However, I'm glad that you could picture it. That's always great to hear, especially from someone who hasn't seen that part of the show.

Thank you so much for reading!

Hmm...I was almost right...just my mind's alex was a little softer looking, and maybe a little younger.

She's 16, and Richard...never ages, but looks about 30ish. He is here if you're at all curious.

I appreciate you stopping by and commenting anyway. This ship is really intriguing to me, and I'm glad that others also find it interesting.

Thank you!

I'm glad you thought it had a good plot, you know me I tend to freak out about them.

Wow, thank you! This is one of my first times writing her (i've done her character like two times before) so that's really great to hear.
