Oh, man. I f'love this. Tim and Dean, FTW!

No kidding re: the win. :)

Thanks!

mmm, nice.... i think i like that there's more going on tim's head than there appears to be. *g* he's so darn pretty, sometimes it's easy to forget there might be more!

[xaara]

So I've now officially broken my record for longest lag-time between comment and response. :P

Thank you so much, and a definite yes to that second bit of your comment--he really does like to put up a stupid front, doesn't he?

[expatiates]

well...that was pretty much fantastic. really excellent use of those two characters. my favorite line is the bit from the summary, "he sleeps carefully and forgets his dreams." really lovely in its simplicity.

[xaara]

I'm actually glad you said "simplicity," because writing this fic consisted mostly of (a) writing a scene, and then (b) deleting about 80% of that scene.

Thank you for reading and commenting. :)

I loved this! It has this hot and sleepy sort of feel to it, that works so well with Tim's point of view. Great character voices too.

[xaara]

Thank you. :) It was surprisingly difficult to write through Tim; he's introspective, but in a very specific and limited sort of way. Capturing that in written form when he is so--not illiterate, antiliterate, maybe?--was a fun challenge.

Thanks. It was a lot of fun to write these two fandoms together; I'll have to see where I can get them to intersect in the future.
