GUH! *giggles* (Meanwhile, Julius lies in bed wondering who on earth was getting so excited in the room next door. Then it hits him. Julius tumbles out of bed as he remembers.... XP) Oh who ELSE would Kalinda room with? XP

I loved this! Haha, yeah, Alicia would be the type to go "oh!" a lot, I think. XP I kinda feel like you'd maybe do a sequel to this? Maybe? *hopeful grin*

The whole fruit discussions were cute and random, but haha, Kalinda is also Batman, that's why she can get away without waking you all the time Alicia! *faints from Kalinda showing off & gets concussion* *awakens & then faints from the bathroom scene and gets concussion again* XP

Thanks for sharing!

*big grin* Glad you liked. As for a sequel - well, um, this last episode was kind of... game changing, so I don't know. But I will definitely be writing more of this pairing.

And Kalinda totally is Batman. This is my new canon.

This is gorgeous and amazing and structurally perfect. The pace just leaves me dying for each new paragraph, and you've got both Alicia and Kalinda captured perfectly. This is as good as, if not better, than an episode of the show. From your mind to the writers' scripts, quite frankly ;)

Gosh, thank you! However, if I wrote the show, it would pretty much just degenerate into all Kalinda, all the time and lose all lawyerly nuance. :p

This fic?

Has to be one of the most flawless pieces of fic I've ever read! The structure is just brilliant at mimicking how our minds jump back and forth. The prose is just beautiful. The characterization is just...spot on - the exchange about the fruit salad and having Kalinda's response be the deadpan about writing a letter just sticks out as one of the most Kalinda responses to anything.

I wish I could say more but I really can't! Your piece is succinct and well-written that I can't even gush - it just *is* an amazing piece! :D

*grin* Goodness, thank you! It was tons of fun to write. See, it was supposed be straight-up porn, so I was just like, eh, who cares about structure? I'm glad it came off as steam-of-consciousness rather than word-vomit. :p

Thanks for writing this! It was really hot and we need more!

Thank you! :)

Excellent characterisation. Above that, I really like the style you've written in here: the breaks and the parentheses and italics making it flow like Kalinda's thoughts. Very nice indeed.

Thank you! I'm glad the style worked - it was a bit of a departure for me.
