First to run up the colors.
Hells yeah!

James nodded again, and Dr. Garside pulled back the curtain. Past it, Jack was grinning.

"Of course," James laughed to himself.

"Of course what?"

"Of course you'd be laying at death's door and grinning like a child with a sugarcane."

I still think that it just the sweetest, most brilliantly adorable thing. *melts*

I liked the awkward moment there when they weren't sure what to say or do.

What cuties.

YAY!!

Girl, I love you. Like, love you love you.

But yeah, they are so akward and cute... and little and cute... and...

cute.

[it so wasn't pointless] You know how much my Elizabeta/Elizaboat's approval means to me! I'd be LOST without you!

Much love to the new icon, and it was quite right to be let through; on the edge of my seat, as always. Jack's logic was perfectly...Jack. Lovely!

[thexyboombang]

Thanks so much for your feedback; it's lovely to know you liked it! I was a little nervous at first, but now... I'm just plain bouncy. And, as ever, in love with Jack's idea of reasoning.

Thank you again; have many fantastic days!

Whee! I'm still loving this. It's like my..not so regular crack, and the only thing I would change is its length. More More More More, damn you. :D

[thexyboombang]

Whee right back at you! So glad you're still along, and is it wrong that I'm proud of myself for writing crack?

However, if I wrote more at a time, it would be absolute crap, I give my word. Unfortunately.

Anyway, thanks again for reading and for feedback! Keep being fab!

[silly_walk]

DAMNIT! wrote out a really big, nice, lovely comment and it got deleted. curses.... The short and long of it was
a)You're dialog rocks my socks. WOW, everything is so in character and rythm of the speach is just perfect. And LOVELY. (and fluffy, that too.)
b)If you stop this now, I shall cry. A lot. And then put my tears in a tupperware container and mail them to you.
c)ICON! It's a Duck! and it says duck! with the ship! and the duck! (honestly, that one gets me every time) Why have I not see that before?

[thexyboombang]

Youu... have a reply typed out on my laptop at home, because the internet pumpkinned before I could send it through.

So you know.

Your dialogue continues to shine, everything flows very well, very good glimpses into James' mind. Lovely part: "Fine, fine, I won't fall asleep." Jack darted his gaze around in secret patterns, diddled his fingers against his thighs, began to whistle, stopped, frowned, looked up at James, and cracked into half a smirk. "How'm I supposed to stay awake?"

"Well… erm…" James whipped his eyes around the curtained-off quarters.

"We could converse, do you think?"

Excellent job of building empathy for the wounded Jack. *cuddles Jack*

[thexyboombang]

Thank you so very much. Your feedback is terribly valuable to me, always, and I'm glad to know you liked this piece, and that I have managed to bring forth empathy for Jack, because I always fear that my aversion to simpering h/c comes off as emotionally flat and uneffective writing.

Anyway, enough of that; thanks again!
