I'm stockingless, but...yay! Something good to read in the morning!!!!!

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Hope you enjoyed it! BTW, watched that last Carnivale tape finally. Wowsa. That's one weird show. I'll be bummed if Jonesy is really gone.

Wowsa. That's one weird show. I'll be bummed if Jonesy is really gone.

I know...all the cool characters were dropping like flies in the final episodes!

And yes, I *did* like it. A *lot* (...and you know what? You were right: I did read it before...or at least the first half of it, which I remembered by the time I reached page three. *g*)

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

I thought you had. Very glad to hear you enjoyed the final version!

And, yeah, they pretty much decimated the cast. The one plus is that in a show like Carnivale you never know if someone is really dead or not. Kinda like X-Files. :)

First Yuletide and then this? I may never see my family for Christmas. Thank you!

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Well, I hope I wasn't responsible for any family squabbles!

[byob-kenobi.livejournal.com]

Nope, just lots of good reading. Sorry this is so late- I'm trying to catch up with FB.

So...yeah, hotness. Serious, serious hotness. I wasn't sure what I was drooling over more...Seductive!Fraser, or the amazingly detailed description of dinner! Gorgeous details, perfect voices (as always), amazingly hot sex- I loved it!

I wish I had something smart to say about it besides "guh". Sorry!

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

'Guh' is perfectly acceptable. I'm glad you liked Seducitve!Fraser. He was a great deal of fun. ;-D

[jenboo.livejournal.com]

woohoo!! Thank you very kindly! I'll snuggle up with this tonight after the drama that is my family on Christmas. *g*

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a common theme this time of year. Hope you enjoyed it!

[imkalena.livejournal.com]

Oh, MAMA. I forgot how hot that was. Jeez, I about need to go roll in the snow now. Okay, I've got a better idea: I'll have a cigarette. That'll catch two birds right there. :)

Love Fraser making love with his food. YOU know how to write a dinner scene. *g*

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Even with quivering shellfish? :-) Thanks hon, for all your help. I couldn't do it without my betas.

[imkalena.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, anything that's raw and quivering is pretty disgusting, but sometimes not if Fraser's eating it . . .

I'm not real sure if going "Guh!" a lot counts as quality beta, but I'm more than willing to put myself to work anytime!!

That was so nice to come home to, Kelly. I read it last night. I loved seductive Fraser, and it was just so Ray for him not to get it. The restaurant scene, wonderful. The sex, hotter than a very hot thing. Loved it.

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Sometimes subtlety just has to take a back-seat to brick-in-the-face obviousness. :) Glad you enjoyed it!

[lynnmonster.livejournal.com]

Yowza! This was great!

I have to say, I think my favorite moment was when Ray gets caught after fishing the roll of film out of the wastebasket. That was so ... explosive!

And I loved seductive-dinner-Fraser and sulky-Fraser. Not to mention misunderstanding-Ray!

P.S. - If you don't mind, I'll be adding you to my friends list so that I don't miss any gems like this.

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Heh. Explosive is a good word for it. Who knew the answer to life, the universe, and everything, could be found in a trash can. :-)

And, I'd be honored. :)

Hey Kellie,

Thanks to Kalena, I just discovered *today* that you finally have an LJ. Glad you're here. Of course, I spent all morning reading this wonderful story of yours. Before I knew it, it was lunch time and I was still in my PJs glued to my computer screen! *g*

I love the nice, slow build up in this story. You are so incredibly good at that. I was practically salivating with anticipation. And the descriptions of Fraser as he gets undressed after they get from dinner?! My God. Guh!

The misunderstandings and angst had me all heart clenchy, too. The morning after dinner, just before they finally kissed, was just excruciatingly painful (in a good way) to read. I got a little choked up, I have to admit. Poor Fraser! Thinking he was doing everything wrong. I just wanted to hug him.

Thanks for this delightful read.

I have to admit that on occasion I am awfully mean to the guys, but I always try to set it right in the end. Glad you enjoyed it!!

Finally a minute to catch up with my holiday reading--and yowza, your Fraser made me shiver, Kellie! Oh! My! Freakin! God--with the beard and the langour and the so sexy I could die! I started noting down favorite bits, but really, it comes down to two: Ray's wastepaper basket adventure (It happened so fast he couldn't stop it. Couldn't have stopped it if he'd tried, which he hadn't, but he did manage to shove a hand down into his sweats fast enough that most of it ended up in his palm, not on his pants.--guh, my LORD almighty in heaven!) and the incredibly funny:

"This is. . ." Oh hell. Just say it. Just get it out. "This is me thinking that maybe I might be kind of gay."
There was a long silence. "I assume you mean in the more modern sense of the word?" Fraser asked finally.
"Yeah. I'm not talking about being cheerful here. Since we both know I am not a cheerful sort of person."

--which make me laugh out loud, seriously. Ray is so *not* a cheerful sort of person!!! *G* Loved it all; really! Thanks for the great read!

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Heh. Now this story will be forever subtitled in my head. "Unforeseen aka The Wastebasket Adventures." :-) Glad you enjoyed it!

And he can be. Cheerful. From time to time. Especially right after getting laid by a snarky Mountie. ;-D
