This is so very good, it comes out beautifully...I love the contrast between Nathan and Peter running through the whole thing...the bits I like seem to change every time I read it. I'm quite attached to Claude's guilt over wishing Peter had the flavours of his brother that would have saved him now.
no acknowledgment that this might be about two people.
Which is fair, since it isn't.
Just one.
And this...which is lovely and painful!
They both come through perfectly...you can really see Nathan now, all the little tiny reactions and looks add to it all. Great stuff!
Without doubt I do! I'm horribly fickle! Though I'm perfect happy to see grumpy Claude at any point in time...more grumpy Claude please (and possibly amused Claude or obnoxious Claude too, both of which are good.)
It's great like this now, there's a lovely see-saw between Claude and Nathan. I was totally happy to help, no problem at all...
Lol and about the above comment... They wouldn't dare put what I've written on television! Though maybe this is why they can't have them meet in the series...all the testosterone and inappropriate fight!sex would be unavoidable... *dreams crushed*
And yeah, it was always going to be about Peter. The other Claude/Nathan I'm writing (which has gone off the boil a bit, but maybe I'll get it back) is all about Peter too, though perhaps more explicitly.
Which line was that? The one about it not really being about two people?
Yeah, I suppose it's hard for this ship to work any other way, especially in the post S1 timeframe.
Yup, that line. :P
Mrrf, I'm trying to get into some writing rhythm (nearly impossible with looming exam), and I haz teh feerz that I lost my muse. Or the ability to form coherent sentences.
Well, maybe someone bribed your muse to sod off for a few days so you could study ;)
Seriously, don't worry. There's no way in hell you can't go more than a week or two without thinking up something else. Take the time, study, and you'll come back to writing all the fresher.
Thank you ... I haven't even looked at this fic for a couple of months so it was nice to reread it for myself! I'm glad you enjoyed it (though honestly I'm not sure that "enjoyed" is the right word ... ;)

You put the "fic" back into "fickle" ;) Just kidding! I'm immensely grateful for your help and feedback with this.

Yeah, that just sort of snuck in there when I was writing (no design). Happy to hear that it works.

Thank you - really appreciate the help, with that point especially, and I'm glad if I've managed to haul it up a bit.
Cheers! :)

Yeah, I have to write more of all of those. <3 Claude.

We are all the poorer for that :(

Tim Kring so needs someone to show him the error of his ways.

I love how it's all about Peter. It makes a lot of sense this way.
I was gonna pull a line, but it's the same one a bunch of people already quoted (I IZ TEH ORIGINALZ!). It really just nails it.

Can't wait to see what else you can do with this pairing ;)

And they didn't punch each other even once.
LOL! I can't promise the same for my other fic ;)
