Nice fic! I loved both the amused banter and the serious conversation. And the atmosphere is charged with feelings surpressed but ready to be revealed. :)

Thank you, and thanks for reading :)

I really want to write something different (well, still Luke/Han), but the other stories I'm working on are taking me forever to do (no surprise there). I'm so behind on the 20 challenges thing that I had to do a short one - and they always end up all sounding the same! I think it's because I can never get Han's voice out of my head when I start writing :D

Delightful! It's sweet and funny and tender. I love the confused, awkward game Han plays, and Luke's embarrassment, and how distracted he is. A perfectly enjoyable gem of a short story.

Thanks so much for your comments :)

I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I do always seem to write confused and awkward Han - much more so than I do Luke. I suppose this is mostly how I prefer to see him in these first time situations and that preference keeps revealing itself!

Thanks for reading!

They went around and around and around the subject so much that they made my head dizzy! Talk about not wanting to make the first move, and I don't know which one should get the prize for best double talk!

Seriously though, this was a great story...I think I'll put it in memories.

Heh, heh, they make my head dizzy writing them! And even when I decide to 'get to the point', they always have other ideas and take their time!

Thanks so much for reading and commenting - I'm really glad you liked it :)

And Yay! I see you've finished your Han/Luke story. I'm going to read it all from the beginning again, so really looking forward to it :D

That was lovely! I love the whole lecturing idea and I'm completely sure that's how Luke would feel/act in this type of situation. And the whole exchange made me giggle, oh men and their communication skills, hee-hee. I am happy they were able to work things out in the end though!

By the way, I'm adding you as a friend, I hope you don't mind that. I love this pairing and I'm very impressed by your website, great work!

Thanks so much for reading and commenting :). I'm very glad you enjoyed it - I love writing Luke and Han, especially when they go through these ridiculous misunderstandings!

Thanks for adding me - I've added you back and hope that's okay :). It's always nice to meet someone with an interest in Luke/Han! My journal is very boring though, and I've seriously neglected it these past few months. I'm planning to start posting again in the next few days...

Thanks very much for your nice comments on my website - I really appreciate you telling me!

Thank you for adding me, although I assure you my own LJ is not the most exciting place on LJ, either ;) I really think you're doing a wonderful job though, I've been looking through the stories on your website (LOL, I sound like such a stalker, but I've only recently got into this fandom and I get very excited about everything I can find) and read "Feast for the Senses" and thought it was absolutely beautiful in its sensuality. Definitely going to my private favourites list :)

[caryn_b]

Thanks so much - I'm very happy that you like that story, and thrilled to get your lovely comments :). It didn't start out like that at all and I rewrote part of it completely in the way I wish I'd written it to start with!

And I'm happy you like the website, and glad you're looking though the stories! I know exactly what you mean about just getting into the fandom and trying to find everything - doesn't sound stalker-like to me :D. I do exactly the same! You've found Elusive Lover, right? There are some wonderful stories by fantastic writers, quite a few of whom have their own websites (Irene Heron, Alexandra Jones, Angel etc.). I've tried to link to everything I've been able to find, though I know I've lapsed a bit lately.

Anyway, it's great that you've got into this fandom - it's been far too quiet lately!
