An appropriately low-key kind of heartwarming! I liked this a lot.

Thank you so much! Understated heartwarming was just what I was aiming for, so I'm pleased to hear it worked.

I really enjoyed this - it was absolutely charming, and beautifully understated. It is, after all, the little things in life that matter. I also really liked Fawn's 'look of deep loathing' at Alleline's chair; it was the perfect nod to the utter turmoil that had gone before. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Thank you, that's a lovely comment to get.

your home furnishings kink is showing. :g:

Well, I'd hate to think I was doing kink memes wrong by writing the genniest gen fics possible. It's furniture porn dammit!

I really rather wanted to describe Tom and Tony's flat in vast and absurd detail. 1970s low budget decor and Wallace and Gromit-style inventions, oh my.

:big eyes: please write this. PLEASE. the further adventures of Tom and Tony, the fandom, it needs this.

I really enjoyed this - great work, great nose for the dialogue.

Thank you very much. I've been doing my great Smiley re-"read" via audiobook and I feel like it's given me a good ear for how the characters speak.

Oh my god this was lovely, got quite a few out loud giggles and snorts from me.

Loved this: “You want space rockets or submarines?” asked Tom, dead-pan. heheheh!

Also love seeing Fawn around and this makes me smile so much! Love it!

Sorry, I only just saw this. Thank you, I'm always happy to make people giggle and snort!
