Yay. Tracey and Kelly. I love that you wrote this and I love what you wrote. And I'm so tired that I can barely write in complete sentences, but I think this is lovely and really appreciate the very realistic way you've incorporated Kelly's attraction into the mechanics of her work for Tracey and their work relationships.

And I especially loved the following exchanges:

Only the alcohol thickening her tongue kept her from asking, "What are we, friends?"
She was afraid he'd respond with, "What are you, a raging dyke?"

and

"The Starbucks girl? Really?"

Kelly swallowed coffee and said, "It's been a long week."

"Was she worth it?"

"It's been a really long week."

Hehehe. :-)

Oh, thank you. Your feedback made my whole night.

I'm glad you liked the mood and the style of it. It felt like a risk, but hey, it's TBJ.

And you picked out my favorite lines!

You rock squared. :)

Oh I never turn down a good T/K fic. Lovely. They were my first real pairing! Aww.

Love ♥

[rysler]

Thank you! They have a warm spot in my heart, too.

[rysler]

Thank you! Apparently those are the best lines of my life. :) I'm really glad you liked it.

I liked the whole thing.

Hector has a cat???

Kelly studied the paper in front of her. 'Indent.' "Intend this," she wrote, in her most elegant prose, and Tracey snorted.

LOVE IT.

[rysler]

Hi! Thank you so much.

Of course Hector has a cat. ;)

I would have thought more like a pug or a Boston terrier ;)

I can totally see him with the cat, though.

What's the cat's name? Briscoe?

[rysler]

Oh, you're right. A pug would be perfect.

A Cat Named Briscoe. I have a title for my next fic. ;)

"The tongue pin clanged against Kelly's teeth, and when she stroked the girl's breast and felt more metal under her fingers, she'd called it a night."

"She'd felt this way before, the warmth in her stomach, the tingling in her palms... Not once had it been worth it. She tried to remind herself that it hadn't ever been worth it as she studied Tracey's profile."

The first passage makes me laugh every time I read it...the second makes me wish that I could so seamlessly change tone and have it work so well. Nice job.

[rysler]

Thank you! I love when people pick out specific passages. And I got to re-read it all.

I don't exactly know where it comes from, but I'm glad you like it.
