I like this so much! Gravity personified is wonderful.

[nomanomynous]

Thank you!

oooh, this was delightful. Gravity has a charming personality. So nice that she could find a playmate that wouldn't permanently break :)

[nomanomynous]

Thank you! And yes, I think Jack would be extra-attractive to some because he isn't permanently breakable -- though that might bring up concerns about it being taken advantage of....

Oh, that was lovely. Very pretty and just a bit sad. Great work.

[nomanomynous]

why thank you!

[easilymused1956]

Very nice. Love the way Jack just goes with the flow -- so to speak.

Thank you. Yes, Jack's a little passive here -- maybe he's been dying a lot or has had a rough couple of days and just being able to take a break from being charge of himself seems like a good idea....

I really liked Gravity. She was intriguing and you handled the "writing the thoughts of someone who probably doesn't even think verbally" thing really well. Gravity seems playful but not childish at all.

The scientific unaccuracy bothers me a tiny bit, but I do wholly acknowledge that trying to work out the physics involved in this is silly of me: I'm reading a smut fic about personified Gravity, after all! Anyway, the fic was totally a enjoyable experience.

Thanks for reading and commenting -- glad you found the way I wrote gravity intriguing and enjoyed the fic overall! But yes, sorry, there is no science in here (maybe I'll update the header to warn for that). Sad to say, my earlier directions kept failing and/or turning into either techy Jack/anti-gravity-device or Jack by his lonesome in an artificial gravity or zero-gee environment instead of Jack/gravity. Sigh. So I gave in/up on science and went back to mucking around with language and characterization. I'd love to read an anyone/gravity (or other natural phenoms) pairing where the science works though -- that would be cool to read!
