Yes, I did write Sanctuary fic! And who knows, maybe I'll write more!

And I'm glad you like the story, and that you feel like it does justice to Helen and Will alike. Thanks! :)

Aww, poor Will. I really like Helen in this -- it's complicated, and it really always was.

gabolange March 28 2011, 23:23:09 UTC

Helen has just learned to live with the complexity--an extra lifetime or two of experience will help with that, I guess!

I'm glad you like the story! Thanks!

*sobs* Poor Will. I liked this a lot!

gabolange March 28 2011, 23:32:34 UTC

I'm so glad you like the story! Thanks!

I don't understand the nuances any more than I did before, but I do like this nonetheless! One of these days I promise I will spend more time with Helen Magnus, because she does seem like my kind of character!

You definitely need to spend more time with Helen! You'll like her!

And I'm glad you enjoyed the story, even without some of the details. That makes me happy!

John’s fingers slowly tugging at her corset strings as she groaned in frustration because he would not go any faster, damnable man.

This? Is more than close enough. *g*

Writing porn is hard! (no gutter-pun intended)

This is lovely! Helen is of course, awesome as are the moments including The Five. But what I am truly in awe of is that you made me sympathetic to Will which...I am usually not.

Well, I had to find a way to work it in somehow! I have successfully written porn before, but this time, it really didn't come together in a way that made sense for the characters. So I took a different route . . .

I'm glad you like it! Yay! (Since that's kind of the point.) And, yes, Will kind of gets the short end of it sometimes, doesn't he?
