There's Just Something About You

[One Year Later...]One Year Later.When Howard woke up that morning the light was leaking through the curtains, casting elaborate patterns on the bedroom floor. The duvet around him was soft and warm, and there was an arm slung unceremoniously around his middle. Howard sighed, closed his eyes again and buried his head further into the pillow as Vince hummed

YES I FULFILLED MY GOAL OF UPDATING IT ON CHRISTMAS SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD! :D

Happy Christmas! I hope yours was a fabulous one :) And I'm glad you enjoyed this lil gifty.

Happy Christmas to you also! :D And a happy Boxing Day, because I think it is now, everywhere. I know there are about three chapters I owe you comments on - I read all the ones I didn't reply to on my phone last night, because I simply couldn't wait to get home to do so. The lj app is awful to try and comment with, but please know I read them and loved them, and you made me cry at least twice. This is a beautiful epilogue to a beautiful fic; it's gone straight into my recs list. ♥

Just so you know, I didn't reply to them all, but every one of your comments filled me with a warm glow, so thank you so so much for being so lovely! And THANK YOU that's such a lovely thing to say oh wow you're the best I love you!

What an absolutely perfect way to end this - thank you all over again for giving us all such a fantastic Christmas present! Morning snuggles with cups of tea are always winners in my book. It's good to see that a year on the two of them are getting on so well, not completely over their ordeal but certainly on the way to recovery. I have loved this story and will be revisiting it many times... and my new year resolution is to make more time for writing although I'm not sure I'll ever manage 12 chapters in 12 days...

My absolute pleasure. I'm just glad it wasn't as massive a clusterfuck as I was worried it would end up!

I love you a lot! But definitely don't attempt 12 chapters in 12 days. It's not worth it, I tells ya!

Now back to regular three-month gaps between These Days updates!

Thank you so much for reading this. It always makes me grin when I see you've commented on something because I love it when writers I admire say nice things about my work. (Also I was listening to the radio in the car with my Dad a few days ago and Enigma Variations came up and he couldn't understand why I was smiling so much.)

Aw, that was lovely. I'll miss this.

[life_downsized]

Thank you so much for commenting! It gave me Hell, but I'll mis it too, in a funny sort of way.

Oh man, I enjoyed this story so much. I had no idea what I was getting into - I got here from a rec post on tumblr that didn't give any summary, and I don't read much Boosh fic these days, so I almost gave it a pass, but the cut text "Howard wasn't allowed near Vince for three days..." really intrigued me

[life_downsized]

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I spent an awfully long time being a bit frantic because you wrote one of my favourite Boosh fics of all time and well... *flail*

I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it, especially that particular chapter (one of my favourites too, if I'm honest). It was such a messy conceit so I'm so happy you think it worked :D

I really do need to get around to making a big fic masterpost because all of mine are scattered across the interwebs, and I'm so sorry about the panicky lack of tagging. I'll go and fix that now in the meantime but I'll hopefully make a proper masterpost in a week or so.

Thanks again!

[garrideb]

No worries, I always take a while to reply. And I'm thrilled that you remember my Boosh fic! Thank you so much for that!

And thanks for tagging that stray chapter - I'll just bookmark the tag now and that will work perfectly fine! But I wouldn't say no to a fic masterpost. ;-)
