Duuuuude, I can't believe I missed this until now! I feel horrible!

That was wonderful, as usual.

Glad you found it! I wondered if you'd given up on it... I am still intending to finish, promise - about half of the last chapter is drafted, I've just had a horrible case of ... not so much writer's block as mental exhaustion. But the end is in sight.

I wasn't checking my flist periodically for a while. I skimmed back some, but somehow managed to pass over it. Oh noes!

Ugh, I know how that is! I've got some mental exhaustion myself. I have about four stories in various stages of completion, and I just stare at them for a while.

I somehow hadn't read this fanfic before, but it's really brilliant! I gobbled it up like a glutton! I love the way you characterise Claude and Bennet, they're absolutely superb! I really hope you'll post more of it sometime... any chance of that happening?

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

I do intend to finish it - I've got about half the last (long) chapter written, but life has gotten busy, plus I don't have as many readers for this as I do for my Whofic, so it's gotten a bit backburnered, even though I do want to finish it. September is going to be a nasty month, but I hope to be back on my feet a bit come October.

Thanks again for commenting!

I'm loving this, I know it's been a while since you posted it, over a year but will the next part be coming soon? I only recently joined brave_new_slash and i've been reading all stories I found, yours was just one of the ones I loved. I'm a little sad that there haven't been any new fics at the comm for a while.

Thank you so much for your comment! I'm very pleased that you liked the story (and nice to have new people dropping by the comm as well).

I do intend to finish, and I have about half of the last - very long - chapter drafted. Life, or rather work, got a bit insane last fall and is just now beginning to return to anything approaching normal, and my long Doctor Who fic has tended to take precedence because the person I wrote it for has been so patient so far, but I do have an end in place for Vampire's Kiss. Funny that you asked just now, because last week, I did think, "Wow, I really should just finish that off," although there's one element I'm trying to nuance a bit.
