I noticed the post just before I should have gone to bed. Am now over an hour past my bedtime (had to re-read a few scenes to bask in the awesomeness). Thank you for the valentine's gift. *goes off to bed knowing the hour plus less sleep will be worth it.*

At least I have something to look forward to for after work today. Sigh. Thank you so much Keira. You are an amazing woman, don't let anyone ever tell you differently!
Happy Valentine's Day to all!

I am just finishing my re-read. (which is good)

That which is bad: I am such a princess about living indoors and eating regularly, I will have to go to work in lieu of giving up my entire day to this.

WAAAAAAAAAH!

I read half of it last night (and my, what interesting dreams that fired up, doncha know!) and the other half this morning and WHOO!!! Oh, man!! What a ride!!

Maybe later, after I've had more caffeine to stimulate coherence, I'll have a better review for you, but for now? OMG, how hard is it going to be for me to sit on my hands waiting for the next chapter? But I will!

Holy fuck, I just finished reading this and I am ABSOLUTELY blown away. That was just amazing on SO many levels. And now I'm going to go back and re-read it. I have to say that this was an AWESOME Valentine's Day present, even if you didn't intend it to be a Valentine's Day present. So you're going to pair Jackson and Lorne? I'm not saying that I don't think it's going to be really hot and amazing, but for some reason I thought you were going with Jackson/Vala. I can't WAIT for the next installment, or for whatever you post next. Keep up the good work, and a Happy Valentine's Day to you!

Oh yeah, McKay did say that "if he was any straighter he'd need a vibrator to relax" or something along those lines. I don't think people should of gotten so upset with you about Jack/Sam, they're adorable together, but whatever, the Lorne/Jackson will be really hot when we get to it.

Awesomeness!!!

Thank you so much Keira!!! I was trying to figure out what to read on the plane when I go on vacation this week, and you have provided the answer to my conundrum, if I can sit on my hands and restrain myself from reading before I leave!

Love your stuff, Truly.

Oh, god, thank you so much for this. I'm just sad now that instead of starting to read I have to head off to work for the day. I know what I'm doing tonight!

Now I have to read it all over again. I absolutely loved it - thanks for clearing up the clone arc. He's exactly who I thought he was.

And when Jack makes that crack about promising not to talk about vaginas anymore I almost spewed.

Once again a heartfelt thank you! And you rock! ;-)

I was online early this morning to email lesson plans to myself cos I've been ill all weekend. Then I was all - Ring of Fire! - OMG! *happy squeals* Naturally I had to give up breakfast and primping time to read through quickly. I spent all day grinning at inapropriate moments thinking of And the Stars Burn... Now I'm home and get to re-read it repeatedly and savour every awesome word :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

I just squealed like a small child on Christmas morning upon finding a kitty under the tree. But ARGH! I have to go work so it will have to wait till this evening.

I am so very tempted to call out right now.

Yes, Yes, Yes! \o/

Awesome as always, although my heart almost stopped when I thought you killed off Patrick. ;)

Thank you so much for sharing, it's greatly appreciated. :)

That was great - I really enjoyed it. Wonderful plot and characterisation as always, and what a kicker of an ending!
Thanks for sharing. :-)

I want to hate you....

Ive been awake verging on 30 hours right now, and its only due to my obsessive compulsive checking of your website that i even noticed this post. So I really want to hate on you (or myself for not checking in earlier!) but....THERE IS NEW FIC!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm yelling at myself right now for letting my power cord and therefore my computer die. Because I then see posts like this when I'm at the library and I can't read because the library would kick me out for looking at porn... life sucks today
but tomorrow when I get my replacement cord will be _made_ of win :)

I just spent the last two days being a social hermit rereading the whole WMHB series because I got two paragraphs into Ring of Fire and realized i didn't remember half of what happened previously. So, thanks for the new fic, it was awesome.
