Excellent story. It makes me want a prequel. :-)

Thank you! :)

YOU WROTE THE MEDIEVALISTS FIC.

And and and. And and.

I'm going to stand here with my mouth hanging open because I did not know I needed to read this til I read did.

I did! Except I did some research and found out that, in fact, the people of Medieval Europe weren't anywhere near as filthy as the people of the Renaissance or even later periods. Who knew? So I kept the swords and daggers because I liked them, but left the other details vague. :)

And I learned about Sara Josephine Baker.

And they spooned!

Thank you. :)

Also it is completely adorable that they have matching toothbrush cups.

They won't admit it, but they are totally co-dependent.

Very excellent! I did like this insight into Jim's character-- it's apparent he's sort of being a seasoned captain and Bones with the rope burns makes me sad, but then everything worked out.

thistlerose November 25 2009, 01:31:34 UTC

Yeah, it did. I can't be too mean to them. *g* I was going with the idea that Jim's still quite young and untried, and he has all this pressure to be amazing all the time. He's bound to buckle a little in the beginning.

So glad you liked this. Thanks!

I liked the "adultness" of this. By that I mean they talked, there was sex, but love, too, and in the end, kindness. Both of their jobs are so stressful, it makes me glad they have each other.

thistlerose November 25 2009, 02:01:44 UTC

They need each other.

Thank you so much!

So good! I love seeing them behaving as adults which doesn't preclude conflicts, especially when Bones is being a healer first and foremost. I'm glad that Jim went to Bones and they talked and worked it out and that McCoy was strong enough to compliment Jim because the captain had done his job and done it as good as he could under the circumstances.

Lovely!

That's exactly what I was going for. I'm so glad that it came across. Thank you SO much! :)
