I loved it! It is just wonderful! I'm surprised at myself really, 'cause I'm not that into Claude/Bennet, I don't know why, this fic just killed me...It really made me want to watch Company Man ep again. Your fic kind of gave me the answers to a lot of questions I've been asking for a long time. I loved a lot of things, Bennet's anxiety, partnership talk, Bennet needing Claude's help, everything was just perfect.
Wow, thank you, I'm flattered! Company Man's my favorite ep so inspiring a re-watch is awesome :D. I'm glad this fic could answer some of your questions- I really feel that that's part of what fanfiction is for. Exploring all those missing little nuances (also, I believe that little!Claire, combined with Claude, has rather lethal potential ;) I love Claude/Bennet, but I'm just as interested in Claude and Bennet, if that makes sense).
I'm so sorry - only just now getting around to commenting on this.
And he’d always thought Three Men and a Baby was unrealistic.
XD
“Oi!” Claude chided, grinning, “innocent ears can hear you, you know.”
I love this - can really hear Claude saying it
when he finally held the warm little form safely in his arms, Claude was afraid to move. The tiny face wrinkled in a frown for a moment before settling back into the calm lines of sleep, and he let out his breath slowly.
This is just so visual ... can just imagine him - both of them! - desperately trying not to screw up.
Claude found himself missing that iron control. He’d gotten used to not having to do the thinking for both of them, used to depending on Bennet being prepared. Dangerous, that. He’d have to break himself of it soon.
Love their mutual interdependence and how Claude never does manage to break himself of it, no matter how many times he tries. That really resonates from your writing of them.

Oh wow, you gave me so many pretty comments with the beta that I really didn't expect another one ^^. But thank you!
This is just so visual ... can just imagine him - both of them! - desperately trying not to screw up. I'm really glad that came across well:D, it was one of the things that I thought absolutely had to be part of any scenario where a bachelor and a man without children took care of a baby alone. *nodnod* Besides, I know the feeling, I'm terrified of somehow screwing up my cousins :P.

I do try really hard to keep that complication in their relationship- working so closely together for so long (completely aside from the slash), especially in a situation where their lives may well depend on each other, they have to build up a dependency. But at the same time, it's not anything either of them is likely to ever admit.

LOL! I don't really have that but I halfway freak out anytime someone hands me a baby, so ... yeah ;)

That's one of the things I find so engaging about their relationship - that the whole thing is practically an exercise in denial. Perfect for angst - hell, just perfect ;)
And yeah, angst is easier than fluff. Crack, OTOH ... ;)
This series isn't (hopefully) over until the shooting, so there's another 7 years or so to cover xP.
Awesome! I look forward. And yay, monster fic incoming! :D Wicked.
And yeah, beta-skillz not a problem. I'll be around until Jan 2, so fire away when you've got it, and I look forward to

A-freakin-mazing! I can't say I'd really gotten into Claude/Bennet until I read this today. Holy expletive this story is, to quote the 9th, Fantastic! I think you may have a fan.
I must also say that it made me smile to see another person with such varied and similar interests and thoughts. Poor Chris's characters do seem to get the short end of the happiness stick compared with Tennant's more love lucky and friendly roles. I have heard that Tennant's going to, or is doing some Shakespeare work in London with Patrick Stewart. The idea of which sounds utterly riveting... That being only second to Peter Davison doing Spamalot.
I think I'd like to ask if I can friend you as to share fan-ish moments.
*really really sorry that I never replied to this sooner*
Hi there! I kinda fell off lj for the most part for a few months there, but I'm overjoyed that you liked this story ^^. If you still want to friend and share fannish moment about Tennant and Eccleston feel free- I'd be happy to friend you back and indulge :D
