You know, after complaining with someone else about the problems of mediocre V/O fics these days, it's nice to then see an author I've never read before write a sweet story without the shmoop.

nice job. :)

Spain is a good thing. :)

I haven't read any good V/O stuff for quite a while, and I'm glad I picked this one to read after my extended break. XP

It's quite good, even with the subtle fluff. It's happy and realistic at the same time. I can't tell you how many angst-ridden pieces I've read from other fandoms (and this one) because authors think that it's the only way for the story to seem plausible. Not that that's a bad thing, but still. It's like there's no such thing as happiness anymore.

Again, really nice. I look forward to reading some of your other stuff. :)

i agree; spain is good, but as i've never had a great interest in it before, i have to wonder at its numerous little, er, cameos, i'll call them, in my ficlets.

ah, well!

i'm really flattered by your comment, thank you! and i agree. i like (well-done) angst as much as anyone, but i wish people would venture out into the sunshine every now and then. :) i mean, angst wouldn't be angst if we weren't happy sometimes.

anyway, thanks for reading.

Oh, no problem. :) I love reviewing when I actually have semi-intelligent things to say.

BTW, do you mind if I friend you?

"No goats." He says it like it’s an exceptional treat.

This line made me laugh out loud. :) Viggo thinks he's being generous. Lovely fic. :)

this was fantastic. well done.
I loved this exchange:
"We should go there," the voice continues in a low drone. Reminds him of bees.
Orlando thinks he's awake now. "You again," he groans.
"I think the heartland would be good," Viggo continues. "Kansas, maybe. We'll go to a bee farm," which thoroughly scares the hell out of Orlando.
"You're fuckin' psychic," he says, and yawns in spite of himself.
"Really?" Viggo smiles. "Fascinating. Coming around yet?"

I realise the quote was longer than the feedback but I loved that whole exchange. hee.
