Summary

That was good. I liked Connor taking care of Lester but then Lester worries about Connor as well.

[echo_fangirl]

They're each taking care of the other in their own way. I'm glad you're enjoying it!

[reggietate]

I'm intrigued by what Connor thinks may be causing the problem. And Lester was never going to be a cooperative type when helpless, was he?

[echo_fangirl]

Lester's not exactly co-operative even at the best of times. :) Connor will be explaining himself soon!

[telperion_15]

Meep! Cripes, I can imagine that blindness would be one of Lester's worst nightmares!

Still, I'm really enjoying this! :)

[echo_fangirl]

Yes, I rather think Lester's had better days. :) I'm glad you're enjoying it though! (Even if Lester isn't)

*is slightly deafened by the EEE*

As it happens, it's one of my all time favourite h/c scenarios too... There's something about a person being completely dependent on another, especially when that person is one who considers independence to be a significant part of their identity. Connor's had to pull out all the stops to make Lester accept support, but even though James is resentful about needing it, I think he understands that it's better it be Connor than someone else.

I hope you've guessed right! Connor will be able to explain at least part of what's happening in the next part.

I'll try to squee more quietly next time :-)

Oh, definitely, that's what I love about it as well. And the trust thing, having to trust someone else so completely (especially if they end up in a dangerous survival situation with someone incapacitated in some way).

And Connor seems to be doing a great job so far.

[echo_fangirl]

Please don't censor yourself at my behest!

Definitely agree on the trust thing too, trusting so much to someone else is a pretty terrifyingly intimate thing! Especially for someone who isn't very trusting in the first place.

It's something about magnetism, then, isn't it? I thought it might be in the last part, because you talked about house values going down near wires, and then I thought 'Nah, that's a misdirect.' But it's totally magnetism!

Also, poor Connor. And Lester, but that ending...::Shivers::

[echo_fangirl]

My lips are sealed! Connor will make everything (well, some of the more urgent things at least,) clear in the next part.

Glad you're enjoying it!
