Thanks to theamusedone for amazing intellectual honesty beta, Värttinä, knowing Hildegard von Bingen, and introducing me to my latest passion, Nordic music. There's no way I could have done this without you

You. Must. See. BoS.

No, really. I'm glad you liked it, but if you see BoS you will fall head over heels in love with Gus.

Woah. This is amazing. Lovely. Quiet. Hot. Making me want to dig out my MLaaD tapes and rewatch. It's a perfect bedtime story.

I *so* love Johnny. My daughter has been watching all the MLAAD tapes - imkalena taped them off Showtime, I think, and sent them to me - and she loves Eric and Johnny too! And, like me, doesn't much care for Zoe. *g* It's been a lot of fun for us getting to know Johnny. He's so sweet, and so laid back, and I love how he relates to Eric. You're right - MLAAD is in and of itself a perfect bedtime story.

Gus.

Johhny.

Gus and Johnny.

GUS AND JOHNNY.

ahem.

I've seen both of these shows, and I never would have thought of these guys together (obviously a distinct lack of imagination on my part), but thank goodness you did. My god, how hot is this? And how believable? I'll answer that - INCREDIBLY SO.

Well, brooklinegirl and misspamela deserve credit for the impetus and imagination part. This was actually misspamela's second choice of pairing but I didn't feel capable of tackling her first choice because I've only seen Wilby Wonderful once. Gus, OTOH, I have seen dozens of times, and love him more and more each time. My daughter's been on a real MLAAD kick lately watching the tapes imkalena sent us last year and I've also fallen in a big way for Johnny. I didn't know when I started if I would find any way to connect them, or find anything they had in common, but thanks to theamusedone I was able to identify some threads and he helped me pull them out and extend them.

I've read this through a few times now, and every time I do, it just gets better and better.

This is by for the most erotic thing I have read in ages, thank you so much for writing it!

[aukestrel]

No, thank you! It wouldn't have been more than a half page if it weren't for you. *g*

[theamusedone]

Believe me what I say it was my pleasure! It was amazing to watch you in action.

I have yet to see BOS, but I've read enough to fic that I think I have an idea of Gus. I love this beyond the telling and not only because I adore MLaaD and want to squeeze Johnny a lot.

You've done a great job of making the characters known. It's a wonderful example of the power of showing, not telling.

[aukestrel]

You. Must. See. BoS. Gus is NOT to be missed, my God.

I was lucky that this came along at a time when I'd just been watching MLAAD with my daughter and fell head over ears for Johnny. He's just so...mmmf!

Gus is a slinky anarchist priest-king who's sex on legs. He's just about my favourite of Paul's characters. You knew the anarchist thing would have to appeal to me. *G*

[lilac_one]

You know, I didn't realize until you replied that I actually left two feedback comments for you. It's testament to how much I love this that each time I read it I had to tell you about it.

And Gus. Yes. I must track down BoS.
