wojelah FIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

*tremendously excited flail*

OMG...I can't breathe. This is tender and beautiful and suspenseful and tense and just utterly perfect.

How much to get you to go ahead and post the other three parts? I have $1.17 on me, but another $5.69 in the bank.

I love their teasing and sexiness in the beginning.

These lines:

well, it's Hotch, so mostly he just looks a little less stern.

if they manage to fit in one last moment before they go, if they make good use of the time, nothing will go wrong while they're gone. It's foolish. It works.

like she's hardwiring him into her own bones.

Just left me gasping with their shining gorgeousness. I wish, from the bottom of my heart, I could write like you.

\o/. Also, hee - that was a very sneaky change you made in that edit of yours.... :D I am saying NOTHING. Your comments always make me smile and are a lovely pick-me-up!

The rest is done, and Smitty is graciously helping me beat it into shape: she is responsible for a lot of this, because she does things like remind me that not everyone's non-fic reading skews heavily old and British and therefore my word choice is unintelligble. And she knows things like how a Prius key works. And she holds my hand a lot.

If everyone wrote like me, it would be no fun at all, because then there would be no variety - you write beautifully, and like your ownself, and I prefer to think of all the awesome Rossi/Prentiss out there as like art in a museum, where you set it out in such away that everything plays off of everything else, so that it -all- shows to best effect!

(Mostly, I am sitting here going "EEEEEEEEEEEE YOU LIKED IT.")

[mingsmommy]

Liked it? I loved it.

And I searched the sofa cushions and came up with another forty seven cents.

Yeah, about the edit...I guessed and then thought about it and thought I probably shouldn't have done that and decided to take it out. Thank you for thinking it was clever instead of assholish. Look! I made up a word.

I think you and Smitty make about the best team ever whether it's as friends, writer/beta or co-authors. You both just rock and together you kick ass and take names.

I am bouncing off the ceiling. smacky30 was afraid I hurt myself when I flailed at her over on Twitter that you had new fic up.

I love this pairing and the way you write them? Nonpareil.

I have about $6 in spare change lying around I would gladly chip in.

wojelah This is just lovely. The characterizations are spot on, the dialogue flows so well and the lovemaking is hot, tender and wonderful all at once.

I normally am a Hotch/Em girl but this makes me long for Rossi/Em.

[amichevole]

Yes! R/P! This makes me very, very, very happy. And it was awesome, which makes me even happier. Truly fantastic stuff; eagerly awaiting the next update. I can never write a goof comment for fear of sounding too obsessional, so know that I am both appreciative and encouraging of your continuation to post fantastic fic.

[wojelah]

Your comments are always lovely, and I'm thrilled when you like it well enough to take the time. (I am a horrible comment answerer, as well.) Thank you so much!

[katewallace]

I think I can find some change in the seats of my car...seriously, this is wonderful! *bounces* Can't wait to see what comes next!

[wojelah]

Hee. Thank you so much!!

[smacky30]

I know mingsmommy already pointed this one out but...

She's tracing the lines of his face when he comes, like she's trying to imprint him into her muscle memory, like she's hardwiring him into her own bones.

This is just one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. The image it evokes makes me all 'gooey' inside. :D

I love how you've woven the whole team in. The characterizations are lovely and spot on.

I can't wait to read more.

[wojelah]

Awww, THANK you. I desperately love this whole crew, and as much fun as it was to write a fic where there was plot AND Rossi/Prentiss, kind of my favorite part was having space to give each of the others a little bit of time. So, you see, that's just such a FABULOUS piece of feedback!! Thanks!

I have eighty-seven cents Canadian...
this is awesome!!! your Prentiss is lovely, and even Dave has a heart. There is too much time between now and the next chapter!

[wojelah]

I AM hoping to go to Nova Scotia.... :D Thank you so much for the lovely compliment. I admit to a small (by which I mean enormous) soft spot for Rossi - I think his heart is just well-guarded. Which is why Prentiss is so great!
