Blame you-know-who - it was only 2000 words when I started!! LOL!!!

I'm not going to read this (yet), but only because I haven't seen either. I have lusted after been working on getting a copy of Ladder of Swords, but will be back after seeing that!

I have an AO3 account. God knows what the password is. :(

Then you have a lovely treat in store - Ladder of Swords is wonderful.

This is wonderful! It must have been difficult to work out a way to make two such different characters interact but you made it look so easy. I really enjoyed it and loved how you weaved Cluedo into the story. This is definitely one of those stories I'll end up rereading when I'm in need of a good fic.

Shucks, cheers darlin! That means a lot to me. It has been suggested that for true Cluedo I should have had 6 different suspects for the murder but I'm not that clever! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. xx

Good job weaving the two characters into one story. I enjoyed it. Thanks!

I'm delighted! Thank you! xx

very nicely done - I spent the first paras grinning at how the characterisation was working, and I really felt pleased for them both at the end - I had not known what to expect from Mustard (a somewhat minidimensional character usually), but Don was such a good match for him.

I enjoyed the shaving scene - unusual in leading to recognition of trust, and that being carried forward, rather than the more common sex (not that I averse to this...).

If you are still in a mood for the unusual crossovers, any chance you could get Banquo in (though I really don't know who with - Sheriff of Nottingham?)?

Do you know what, I'm not averse to a challenge - but I can't work out how to get those two together without a time machine! LOL!! Unless he sees Banquo's ghost who tries to teach him a lesson...

No, me neither really, but I can't think of any 'older' LC parts.

Now, ghost fic...
