Ooooooh. Beautiful. I love the transition from Shawn's concern for Hunter at the beginning, to them being all over each other. Incredible hot and sweet. Wonderful job, Drea. ^__^

[hhhbkev]

Incredibly*. I lose at spelling. -_-

[d_generate_girl]

*flails* So glad you liked. I was definitely worried about the transition - it's a little easier and takes longer in the full story - and was hoping it wasn't too abrupt.

Thanks, Sarah!

Gee, now that's what I call something to wake up to in the morning. I'm definitely more awake than I was 10 minutes ago. lol.

First off, I'm a sucker for Sarah McLachlan songs (What former B/A shipper isn't? Even though I wasn't one very long. lol.), and "Full of Grace" is one of my favorites.

Like Sarah, I really liked how it changed from Shawn's concern to Hunter taking action and them being all over each other. I also enjoyed how you played with the reference of Shawn being a changed man now and everything.

Some things don't change after all, huh? Even after nine years... ;)

You know, I'm really curious about the whole thing now that you mentioned in the disclaimers... ;)

[d_generate_girl]

Haha, I am a big fan of porn as the way to start the day.

Oh yes, love Sarah McLachlan. The longer story, coincidentally, is called "Prayer of St. Francis", which was the music over "Grave". I have no idea why I fixated on those two songs, but hey, I like them. They work.

Yep, some things don't change. People change. Feelings change. Certain other things don't. And that's definitely an aspect of their relationship I wanted to explore.

*grin* When I finish, you'll be among the first to know. And thank you muchly for the lovely feedback.

OH man, I loved this. I especially love the evocative quality of the ending. Really fine stuff here.

[d_generate_girl]

*fangirl flails* Aw, you're such a sweetie, Heather. I'm very glad you liked the ending - which is one of my favorite parts, too - and that you thought so highly of it. You are so awesome.

[phoenixastraea]

You're very welcome! It was definitely just as wonderful, if not more so, on the second read through. So as not to ramble on, some fave points.

1. Love the idea of Shawn in jeans and bare feet. For some reason, that's an incredibly sexy image.

2. Shawn calling him Paul. That was a very intimate moment there and I really loved that. I haven't yet read a fic where kayfabe has been broken (Yeah, I know, I'm probably behind the times!) so this was a breaking of walls for me. Very powerful and, I think, appropriate.

3. The blending of sex and religion. You know, call me a dirty girl, but I'm sure having sex with Shawn IS a religious experience! ;^) All joking aside, I'm hard pressed to say all the things that are right about the ending. There are just so many. They're united and yet separated, and there's pathos in the memories...Just great, hon. =^)

[d_generate_girl]

Eeee! More rambling! I love you

First of all...I LOVE the song "Full Of Grace." So you win for that.
The story was amazing, as always. I just love the way you write and of course your Hunter/Shawn stories hold a special place in my heart.
This was no exception. I loved how it seemed like they were talking without the use of words. Just holding each other comfortingly was so cute. But of course they had to end up ravaging each other (like they can keep their hands off each other anyway :) )
Lovely as always girly!

[d_generate_girl]

Doesn't everyone love that song?

Aww, thanks sweetie. I'm glad you liked the story - and the Shawn/Hunter in general. Of course I can't have my Shawn!muse without your Hunter!voice.

[penumbren]

Dear lord. I'll just echo everybody else here... absolutely amazing. And even the ending is pretty much spiked with pain, isn't it? Remembering what they can't have now... wow. I also am dying to see this whole thing. *nods* Oh yes.

[d_generate_girl]

*squeaks* Oh, you're such a sweetheart, Pen. I'm so glad you liked it, and believe me, that ending isn't an ending. It's just the part I had to leave off at for the ficlet. It'll probably get even more angstful, since apparently, I am incapable of writing them happy for very long.
