GAH, this is TOO GOOD. Their voices, bloody hell. Absolutely definitely them. *hugs fic* *mems it*

Haha, I spied you reblogging this way back when, so thanks for that! ♥ I'm always so scared about messing their voices up horribly, so I'm glad to hear you liked them. 8D

This is brilliant! "You said it was tall," Gene growled, an edge of violence to his tone that made the queue behind Sam collectively twitch and avert their eyes toward the register. I bet Gene makes lines move much faster.....

And oh, Sam: as if he didn't understand that in not-1970's-cop-program-inspired-Manchester, you kept your own bloody thoughts locked up neatly in your own bloody self.

LOL, we could use him around Christmas season, couldn't we? And I KNOW, Sam, baby, you poor emotionally repressed thing. 8((( Thanks so much for reading, as always! ♥

[lacidiana]

Aww, yay! It's a cracky little situation, so I'm relieved they still came across as themselves despite it. Thanks so much for reading and the kind words!

This is great: Sam trying forlonely to persuade Gene to act normally (as in normal for 2006, not normal for Gene) when he himself feels utterly mad.

[lacidiana]

Haha, yes -- oh, Sam, the most delicious of hypocrites. ♥ Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

This is wonderful, especially

"Right," Gene grated, acidly, "because two officers sharing a flat like Liberace's bandmates is normal," which, yes, okay, Sam admits that when he found Gene-sized loafers and trousers strewn across his closet like they belonged there, he'd nearly pissed himself. Again.

I have to admit, I'm rather fond of that line jsafks. Thank you for reading and for the kind words!
