Heh-heh.

I know! Every little sheepy reference makes me giggle; thanks!

Oh my. Oh my.

Can I take a moment to flail at you madly in utter glee before I compose myself and properly say thank you, thank you, thank you for giving us a wonderful Boxing Day gift like this?

Such an utter delight to read, as always, and I adore your Sir Harry and your Draco (really, the Unbreakable Vow for poor Baldwin Baddock-Bole was brilliant). The inclusion of the Magi--utter love, and I still want Dr Vickers to come take on my parish, please. \0/

And I love Draco throwing a strop over the wine until he finds out Greg was the one who screwed up. And Sluggy saving the day!

Pure brilliance. This just made my night, I have to tell you. When I loaded up my flist and saw you'd posted a fic--and a sequel to Zider at that--well. I couldn't quite restrain my squeals of delight, which may have caused my family to ask what on earth was making me so happy. :D

Thank you for sharing this! It's made me deliciously happy. \0/ (Also, I have to tell you, Noe is going to be absolutely delighted by the Hippogriffs of Fire and No Æon. Hee

Thank you very much indeed. wemyss December 27 2009, 16:55:20 UTC
You've been very kind, and you, like Noe, and my new friends since Zider, and my Tenth Legion who've so long made me a better writer (such as the sgt_majorette, above), were so much in my mind that I felt I really must show my gratitude with a small offering. I'm very glad you liked it, and greatly obliged to you that you not only said so, here, but have been kind enough, as I see, to recommend it on yr own journal.

A very happy Christmas and New Year to you, with my thanks.

'if you cannot trust your wine merchant, you must change him for another immediately'

Dear Old Horace to the rescue, I simply adore the fact that he rousted his wine merchant in the middle of a blizzard to 'rescue' the booze. Merry Christmas indeed!

Thank you - and welcome to Bedlam. wemyss December 27 2009, 16:57:01 UTC
I do so love writing Sluggers, he's such fun. I'm very glad you liked the piece and gratified that you took the time to let me know, and to join the (knitting) circle: welcome.

Thank you very much for this - a lovely thing to find when catching up with the flist. I particularly enjoyed Harry's rendition of the coming of the Magi - and your Slughorn is always a joy.

Merry Christmas, and a good new year when it comes!

You are more than welcome. wemyss December 29 2009, 22:39:05 UTC
I've been telling that version of the Magi for quite twenty years, actually. Feel free to half-inch it.

A St. Stephen's Day feast, no less glorious for being consumed on the Feast of Holy Innocents (and oddly appropriate, with the children and the Magi). Kingsley as the Virgin and Balthazar as Kingsley are brilliant.

I concur with femmequixotic - Baldwin Baddock-Bole's Unbreakable Vow is superb and the mucking out of the stables too good for the 'unmitigated little shit'. Your Draco in high dunder dudgeon - of course, though I suspect I'm trying to give him any alternative spirit - is a joy to behold.

I can't believe Slughorn brought wines with apple notes and Sauternes. Draco's grace as chatelaine of Aveline House was sorely tested, although his experience of gratitude all the warmer for the test.

HM and the Royal Family arriving for luncheon were the gilt on the lily and the marzipan on the cake.

Sustain me with raisins and, yes, comfort me with apples, for I am faint with love for Evelake 'verse. St. Margaret, save us all.

Would I do that? wemyss December 29 2009, 22:41:02 UTC
(Evidently, yes, when you weren't looking.)

Thank you very much for such very kind words. I was having such fun, I am but glad it was communicated. This 'verse is growing on me as well.
