Author’s Notes: Hiatus? Rubbish. I want my show back. But, in the meantime… Here, have some pre-series Lie to Me fic! This all came about because I listened to Fast Car by Tracy Chapman. It sort of spiraled out of control from there! I ( Read more... )

Awwww! So insightful and sweet!

etoilefilante February 22 2010, 15:20:26 UTC

Thank you :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Ahhh hun, you did it again! I absolutely loved the little snapshot looks into those defining moments in their lives and i really could see it all playing before my eyes so vividly, your attention to detail is wonderful!

Also, that bit where the hair on the back of Gillian's neck was rising, OH MY GOD, IT WAS HAPPENING TO ME TOO. Seriously, i loved that. :)

And of course the ending, so beautiful that they got their happily ever after in the end. ♥

etoilefilante February 22 2010, 15:25:53 UTC

BB, you leave me the nicest comments and they really do make me happy. ♥

I'm so glad you can picture it so clearly. I see everything in images so you don't know how happy I am to know that I've conveyed that properly.

I'M SO GLAD THAT HAPPENED TO YOU. I love reading things have have that affect on me, but that I managed to do that to someone else? Wow. :)

I couldn't hit you with another round of angst! I couldn't do it to Gillian, either! ♥

Such absolute awesomeness *sigh*
Glad you shared, 'cause this just crowned my coming back with sheer bliss. Lol.

Aww, thank you! Lovely to have you back! Depending on how long you've been away, there may be another couple of ones you haven't read waiting for you before this one. :)

alainnrois February 23 2010, 00:15:44 UTC

Definitely been away for quite some time, so I can't wait to read. Expecting much loveliness from your fics as usual!

Oh... ok, it's snowing like crazy out there, and I was so lucky to stumble across your fic today and put all the stress away just for a moment.

Thanks for warming me up :)

etoilefilante February 22 2010, 20:49:33 UTC

Aah, I'm glad this helped to take the stress away, at least for a little while! You're more than welcome, thank you for reading and commenting as always. :)

Ahhhh, I can always count on your fics to have me sighing happily at the end.

This is so...can a story be pretty? Because if it can, then this one is.
I love it. Well done sweetie!

etoilefilante April 20 2010, 18:08:52 UTC

Apologies for the terribly late reply! Thank you very much. I think stories can be pretty - I'm so happy you consider this to be so.

I miss writing for this show! Lack of new episodes and real life have conspired against it recently but hopefully I'll get back to it soon. Do you have any more coming?

lindsey_grissom April 20 2010, 18:29:53 UTC

Ah, I know what you mean. As much as I'm very happy that there will be more episodes this summer, I really wish there wasn't going to be such a wait.

I don't really have anything in the works for this show, I had a short little fluff thing I wrote for multicolour at Christmas that I might get around to posting at some point (probably when I'm feeling festive again some time in May. =P ) but otherwise I actually have 10 long stories partly written in a mix of fandoms (my muse seems to have a problem picking and sticking with just one at the moment) taking up my time now. So actually, well, you never know. ;)

I'll keep my fingers crossed for more from you. ;) Oh, and don't worry about the lateness, I'm the last person to complain about that. ;) (BTW...you changed your lj name?)

etoilefilante April 20 2010, 20:29:13 UTC

You sound very busy with your writing!! How exciting. I need to go and look at what I have half-finished - I'm sure there's a fair amount I've forgotten about... This one was hanging over me for about four months before I was happy with it.

Yes, I just changed it today! I didn't really want to as I loved my old username but I had to in the end. It does mean that I'm no longer on anybody's friends lists though so would you mind adding me again? :)
