YOU USED MY FAVORITE WORD CORRECTLY IN A SENTENCE likes2lurk May 12 2011, 02:01:00 UTC

Oh, my goodness, you got me to laugh out loud several times. I almost died when Moriarty was talking about 'the correct level of damp'. Heehee.
I loved how you investigated the beginning of thier relationship, and how they progressed, and I am so jealous of the foot-rubbing and the sexy rescuing and the ring-giving. You are amazing darling. Fabulous.

AND, AND, AND, YOU USED 'CALLIPYGIAN'! OH, MY DEAR LORD YES!

I'm glad you laughed! I seem to have a knack for writing amusing villains. (That probably doesn't say good things about me...)

And I'm doubly glad you enjoyed the vocabulary!

Oh yes. My kink is vocabulary. Most people like bondage or lacy knickers but I get hot and bothered by polysyllabic words. And you ruthlessly exploited it.

You do seem to have a gift for the amusing villians. And it's fabulous, because Moriarty isn't just a very evil two-dimensional villian, he is a creepy scary evil bugger with a deliciously twisted sense of humor.

up til now I had been rather meh over the whole moriarty thing.sorry jim what can I say, when I am an idiot I am a major one. obviously.

as if the rest of this piece wasn't enough to show me the error of my ways this bit "Just two men, covered in blood, staring at each another in insane lust. Again, that kind of week. I sighed and closed my eyes." has me seeing the amazing of this character/pairing for sure!!!

jim_in_westwood May 12 2011, 23:20:01 UTC

Jim forgives you, this once. :) Thanks so much for reading, and I'm glad you can enjoy Jim and Sebastian now!

Okay, I love that you made Moran a Colonel in the IRA, because in today's world it doesn't make much sense for an Irish man to be in the British military. :) I also really like your Jim voice, it's suitably weird and off the wall without being over the top.

jim_in_westwood May 12 2011, 23:20:41 UTC

Yes, that basically the way I saw it as well. Thanks for your compliment on my Jim voice; it's much too natural to be safe for those around me. :)

Oh, I think this is my favorite so far! Glorious twisted romance for the WIN!

I could almost picture him, staring at the keys and willing the one he wanted to jump up and slap his fingertip rather than forcing him to hunt it down.

What a mental image. XD

I love the way Jim describes Seb throughout. He really is the perfect minion/lover. Even if he isn't into the X-Men... XD XD XD The James Joyce thing and the ring, interesting!

Poor Jim tied to the chair! I love that you manage to make me feel really terribly sorry for such an evil little man. I like that he remains nasty even when he's in such pain, giving them that scary smile...

And then Seb comes and rescues him!!!

“See this, boss? That’s my ring. I promise I’ll be back for you. You just sit tight, yeah?”

Yeah, that is just so damn romantic. Even when you DON'T have head injuries. XD

What better than to contemplate the very first time he made me scream? Xxxxxx

Can that be the next chapter?! XD

jim_in_westwood May 12 2011, 23:21:34 UTC

Haha, Jim WANTS you to feel bad for him! So you do, naturally.

And perhaps...just perhaps...there is something in the works along the lines of what keeps Jim so happy in the bedroom.

Jim should publish his book of free tips, like the Viz Book of Top Tips! http://www.funny-haha.co.uk/Joke.asp?J=1057

I am, if not a draper mad with love, then a fangirl mad with squee for your Jim and Seb. I hope they have that kind of week every week.

Huge love for this series and your brilliant writing.

jim_in_westwood May 12 2011, 23:23:17 UTC

Oh, lord, I should go through everything and pull out all Jim's tips and see what a bizarre sort of self-help book that would make! I mean, what publisher WOULDN'T pick that up?

Thank you again for all your help with this one! I appreciate it (and we need to definitely have a readalong for At Swim-Two-Birds!)
