WOAH. Not much I can say other than that. Oh, and that this is absolutely fantastic once again! :D

[whiskyrunner]

:D Thank you!

[whiskyrunner]

:o Go go go!

I can't believe I'm still writing in this verse after all the grief it gave me just trying to finish Requiescat. xD

[whiskyrunner]

Yeah, I think you're right. Although it's still hard when I WANT to write in this verse and can't think of anything D: *flail*

But, but you need to specify the order!! I mean everything changes in a way, depending on the chronology. Because if this took place before WWS, then things are even more amiss: Arthur hoping Eames would still want him when he has already admitted he loved him. Arthur still needing to push the envelop in order to reconcile "his selves". Arthur basically resisting his "happy" if I dare say, ending.

Once again, please carry on! I feel there's so much left...

[whiskyrunner]

xDD I appreciate that you were able to skip past the pr0n and zero in on just what is going on here. Things are definitely amiss with Arthur...

I'll have to think about the chronology, because I don't actually know! xD

Oh crap... I hope I didn't offend you. It's just that porn is great, don't get me wrong, and sex is paramount in their relationship, in how Arthur is/has come to be. Interestingly, IMO, it can be secondary when it acts as a reflection of other mechanisms and parameters ----> it's their evolution that has me on edge!!

[whiskyrunner]

Oh no no, not offended! xD I like it when my fics can make people think. Sometimes I think my readers have a better idea of what's going on than I do. (Hence why this was written from Eames' perspective -- for him it's a kind of, "whoa, Arthur's feeling frisky today, I certainly won't complain". On Arthur's part this is more of a small-scale psychological calamity. I just haven't determined how or why yet xD)

So fucking amazing as always. I love that you update in the mornings, so I have something to read on the train.

Have I mentioned, recently, how deliriously happy I am that you continue to write in this 'verse? Because I am. Deliriously happy.

[whiskyrunner]

Thank you! xD I don't know why I continue to torment myself by continuing this verse, but I don't plan to stop yet!
