Notes: X-over with Cabin Pressure and my Short Message Service-series. Follows Ash cloud over Europe where not!Anthea meets the Captain of MJN Air at Frankfurt Airport. Betaed by zedille.

I want all of you to hum Summer Nights when reading ;)

Summary: not!Anthea is more generous with the details than desired while Captain Crieff tries to not kiss and tell

Funny, well-written, and so much in character! Loved the conversation ("I have hobbies. SH How’s the exploding umbrella coming along?""You called me Mycroft once.") in the beginning and Douglas' story of what happened, and the best bit: the revelation they all were a bit worried about Martin's disappearance. Loved it! :)

:D Thank you! Glad you liked it :) Anthea and Sherlock's teasing and bickering always writes itself and of course Douglas worries about his captain :) As he said, he hadn't thought there would ever be a one-night-stand for Martin ;) Is it sad that there had to be a natural disaster before it could happen?

Utter delight, this story and the prequel. All the best of the involved characters, and so adorable and funny, and optimistic. Enjoyed every line.

Thank you :) I'm new to writing CP fics and try them out by introducing them one at the time (they are quite scary), so I'm very happy you liked them :)

Delightful, and the text messages with Sherlock were a treat!

[solrosan]

Thank you :) It's the texting with Sherlock that started all this, I have too much fun writing their text-conversations that I needed to start writing things around it as well ;)

You have a talent for caputuring a massive amount of subtext in an SMS, so well done. Do you have other SMS-related fic I should read?

[solrosan]

Thank you :) I owe much of the clarity to my beta, the first drafts are very confused and have more subtext than actual text ;)

I don't have any more sms-related things posted yet, but there are at least two more pure texting!fics and then I've stareted to write "missing scenes" (aka what happens when they put down the phone) that might come up later.

And...ehm...I ship Anthea/Martin a bit too hard for my own good, so I don't know what happens there ;P

I can just almost hear Carolyn: "Why check into a hotel when have a perfectly good plane full of very comfortable seats. We're not checking into a hotel and that is final."

Fantastic as usual! You do drama and angst so well, and you can apparently nail comedy down too! You should write more CP fic!

Also: hello new ship! Can you be more rare?

[solrosan]

Thank you :) You're so sweet!

Haha aren't they lovely together? XD When I sat down to write my first (and, so far, only) CP fic I realised that I could ship Martin with everyone - he needs all the love! But after writing this Anthea/Martin has become my OTP. I regret nothing at all.

This is so funny and well-written! Love it!

Thank you :) Glad to hear!
