omg that was amazing! It was sexy, emotional, sad, sweet and loving all at the same time just like their sex scene on Grey's. Wow is all I have to say! :)

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

That's good, that is really good.

"They are images she doesn’t want to see, and so she keeps her eyes wide open, even when it would be easier to let them slip closed." - I'm so jealous of that line, it's such a vivid image and also a trick that can only work for a few more hours before everything crashes again.

“You really think this is going to help?” - LOVE this, because he knows it is not going to help, she knows it is not going to help, but that's what she needs anyway.

Lovely piece, but what Porn Battle VIII?

Take care.

Porn Battle VIII. It's our lovely bi-annual porn battle in which I go crazy with the writing.

That is definitely a trick many of us, or at least I, have employed at some point. You just keep moving. And Cristina is kind of like that, you know; she delays her reactions on purpose. It's the only way she knows to deal.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I have no words, this piece was everything that is Crowen! I FLOVE it! FAB job!!!

Porn Battle VIII? Huh?

[slybrunette]

Aw thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

And Porn Battle VIII is a bi-annual multi-fandom porn battle that I, and a lot of other writers, use as an excuse to write our asses off for a week.

As a huge O/C shipper, I read shower and was instantly filled with dread, because well... in the same way that people can attempt an elevator MerDer fic and FAIL, so it has been with the shower. People either are just with the smut, or end up getting caught up in some kind of symbollism that doesn't work, because they don't take it far enough.

OH HO! Not here. And I mean that. Because it was all about some kind of intimate moment that far exceeds words (and so uses very few) when it comes down to it, and means nothing and everything at the same, you know? (Like here, Owen realised that what she wanted was sex, and something to distract her- what Owen needed was someone to reach out to him. It's all some kind of comfort, ultimately) Like, yeah, it's just sex, and it's all about pretend. So it could be a distance thing. But it's not because there's also something very tragic and vulnerable about it. So while she may be pretending to Owen, the reader is like "Aw, little Crissy." lmao.

Parts like: She thinks he’s going to kiss her now

Yeah, you know shower sex can be overdone in general, much less for this pairing. It's...well it's a cliche. And I'm fairly sure I didn't do it justice either but they are hard, so I'm giving myself points for trying here, lol. But thank you; you really made me feel a lot better about this! To say I was worried about it earlier would be a huge freaking understatement -- I almost didn't post it.

It is a story about everything and nothing. Nothing is really accomplished, nothing really happens besides sex -- on the surface. And Cristina and Owen, in my experience, aren't big grand gesture surface people. There's something deeper there.

I enjoy your rants. Keep them coming lol.

I'm so thrilled you enjoyed this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
