Re: ALSO
YAY!!!! Oh, good. *whew* I have been trying to write a proper comment for weeks now and couldn't figure out what to say. Not to mention that one part of fanfic reading that I love is getting all literary and debating things and discussing story elements and stuff, but of course, most authors don't want me to do that, because it usually involves at least a little bit of, "Uh, this part kind of didn't work? But then it did, and I liked the other thing about the guy in the place." So I didn't want to do that to you guys, but also, I couldn't leave an honest comment without bringing up my expectations and how they changed, so yay, I'm glad you're not offended. :)
That's really interesting, that you never even considered having anyone find out! Funny how my brain works, then -- that's the first thing I expected when I started reading the story. Ha! Remember? I was all, "Wow, is this ever going to be a train wreck." AHahaha, win. :)
Anyway, yes, characterising through sex. I like doing that too. It's really hard! Kudos to you two. This is amazing. :)
