My goodness. :: shuffles hooves bashfully :: I'm so glad that you're encouraged by my comment! That makes me feel that I've been a successful reader, that I've managed to communicate how much your words touch me.
BTW, I've read Whiskey Cupcakes three more times since I was notified of your generous reply: once to refresh my memory about what I'd read (because it was such an awesome reply!), again while I tried to decide what to say, and then (because I had to take a break from the wonderfulness) yet again, just now, when I finally returned to write this. The more I read this the more I impressed I am--it's like the perfect uncertain/destined-to-be/exploring/domestic/sexy/lovingkind McShep AU fic!
But in the interests of saying something concrete, I confess that my two very favorite snippets are:
1. Ronon looks over again, mouth tilting slightly. "To have one jacket that color may be regarded as unfortunate; to have two looks like carelessness." Rodney boggles at him through the steam of his tea. "Complete sentence," Ronon offers, and shuts the cash register drawer. "G'night." ~ English majors FTW! :-D
2. "...Oh." That's. Wow. He snags John's wrist. "You should come here." "I am here." "More here. Here here," Rodney says, tugging John over to drape against him. ~ I think you caught the emotions & their voices perfectly, & so concisely, here. <3 <3
Sweet Jeebufus. I've just realized--after reading this fic at least five times--that it's written in present tense. Which I usually dislike. I didn't even notice.
