Has my birthday come early this year? No? XP

Just WOAH! Just oh so mmmmmm! Am I pretty much rendered speechless but also tired? Yes, but you know I always love your fics! The flash backs, well used and huh, done a little differently, it's nice and unobtrusive. (Why am I commenting on it? I dunno, sometimes the form of a fic just interests me *shrugs*)

There is so much dialogue and description that I love that I will end up pasting nearly the whole thing here, so yeah... XP (Although I had a giggle with the "I think Cary is feeling… neglected.” bit cause it made me think that Kalinda and Alicia were discussing a pet they had XPPPP) And hahaha, mm, we need only refer to this fic in the future as "The Shower Fic" huh? And I certainly can see why! Mm, so hot and yes, Kalinda swearing does so work

[sweetjamielee]

So "sexy-motional" is my new fave term in the universe, jsyk.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the form/content of this one! I'd been a little iffy about whether or not it worked, but y'all are making me feel better. I've been referring to it as "Shower Porn" since I first started writing it, so that is essentially how it's titled in my head -- even though all the history eventually overshadowed the smut!

Cary IS the panting puppy of this show, for sure. And yes, Kalinda/sex!cursing = OTP, obvs.

Hope you feel better soon, dear. Always look forward to and appreciate your thoughtful comments!

"Kalinda looked around, suspicious, while they waited for their drinks. “Did you bring me here to kill me?” she asked."
I rarely physicall lol but I did at this - Kalinda at her deadpan best.
Loved, loved the fic. Thanks so much for it.

[sweetjamielee]

Oh God, yes, Kalinda's dry wit is the best thing in my life. (Well. Second maybe to her epic love for Alicia.) :)

So glad you enjoyed this! Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

*spins and twirls along with your head* Thaaank you.:)

And I am excited to hear that you enjoyed Alicia's therapist. He is offish part of my TGW head!canon now, and I insist he forever reflect things Alicia is doing and make her hate his face because of it. *nods*

I honestly don't even have the words. I know you were very careful about warning me to not go into this fic with porny expectations, and I didn't. I went into this fic with "this will be an amazing beautiful "Jamie-on-top-form-because-she-wants-this-to-be-perfect-for-me" fic, and it was even more amazing than I expected. It was beautiful and wonderful and SO DAMN PERFECT that I can't even. (This doesn't mean I don't still want my PWP because I obviously do!)

also, I enjoyed this line "this is more fun than she’s ever remembered sex being." And I couldn't help but think... that's because you were doing it all wrong, Alicia. Wrong anatomy and stuffz. Ick.

oooh, and you touched on something that I was going to e-mail you about in fangirly rambling ways! Which is the fact that my favourite thing about these two (in smut at least) is the contrast in skin tones and how g-d aesthetically pleasing it is.

anyway, yes, this rules and I adore it.

[sweetjamielee]

Awh, bb. Thank you. I'm so glad you're not disappointed. They just have so many damn FEELINGS, and whenever they start touching each other my brain's all "Jamie. Jamie. Jamie. Any two people could be having this sex. But only Kalinda and Alicia have this EPIC TRAGIC BEAUTIFUL LOVE. You must explain this to the WORLD."

You see how this is a cockblock (for lack of a better term)?:)

But yes. Come comment fic time, I'll be forced to scale back. Somewhere in me, there HAS to still be dirty, dirty porn. I will find it.

The beauty of K/A's skin together is like, reason #291249 why, if they never have sex in canon, there's obviously not a god.

Um. I'm not quite certain why there is not a fangirly rambling email from you in my inbox right now. In fact, there is NOTHING NEW in my inbox right now. FIX IT, RORY. FIX IT.

Oooh, so many things to love about this, but I can't seem to get past the utter adorableness (adorability? adorablocity?) that is Kalinda trying her loving little heart out to open up and TALK for a change. God that's so cute and painful and romantic and just plain sweet

[sweetjamielee]

Thaaank you. There is nothing, nothing, NOTHING more adorable to me than when Kalinda's *feelings* start coming out in endearingly inappropriate ways. And Lish is the ONLY person I can imagine K even TRYING for. Which is obvs the most romantic thing in life.

I firmly believe in Kalinda's jealousy over all people Alicia has ever chosen to sleep with. K foisting Will upon her is a defense mechanism we in the field called reaction formation. YOU HEAR THAT, KALINDA? ICWYDT. I'M A SHRINK. I GOT YOUR NUMBER.

Ahem.:)

I really appreciate your lovely comments. Always a pleasure discussing these two with you!
