Well, I was in the middle of updating this week's TOCs, but I had to drop everything the moment I saw you'd posted, C_A!  And...woah. What a wonderfully beautiful, sensual peek into a small romantic moment in our heroes' lives. This, in particular, took my breath away: And when she looked at him then, her eyes were the color of deadly nightshade, so dark and seductive that Clark felt his heartbeat quicken and heard blood rush in his ears. She put her hand on his arm and shifted her hips and touched his heart and did it all in time to the music.
She wordlessly whispered to him of birds and wildflowers, of truth and touch and time without end, and her skin smelled of coconut and her tongue tasted of cherries and maple syrup. Such gorgeous phrasing. Poetic. <happy WAFFy sigh> Beautifully done, C_A. LabRat 
Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

Lovely, lovely, lovely! I enjoy your vignettes so much. There isn't a wasted word, and every one is just exactly where it should be for maximum effect. I would quote my favorite parts, but I'd wind up quoting everything, so I think I'll just go read it again I hope you find more things to procrastinate about if this is the result! Caroline

Wonderful. Beautiful. Poetic. And like somebody already pointed out, there isn't a wasted word. It's like a musical composition where every word has to be just where it is. And it is.

Awww, thank you so much, you guys. I feel so flattered when people like these little vignettes. Made my day (and this day seriously needed to be made).
