though I confess to being a little dubious about the sudden shift to full-blown sex
It's not my usual MO, that's for sure (hellooooooooo Fleeting), and it was another reason it took me so long to officially update this fic. I really went to battle with myself, but this is what the muse demanded, and I rarely win those particular struggles, LOL. You can be rest assured, however, that the implications for all the actions taken in this fic - lemon-centric or not :P - will be addressed. A couple of people have already guessed where this is headed, at least in the immediate aftermath, for what that's worth.
but you justify it wonderfully
I'm glad - this is the sort of thing I could blather on about forever. And being paid to do so? Is my dream profession, LOL :P
The lemon was fantastic. Too many lemons have the same hackneyed rhetoric which makes them screamingly boring to read but yours was like a breath of fresh air in the genre.
I am still intimidated by the sheer amount of lemonfic out there, but when I actually swallowed my fear and read some, I was...rather appalled, not even gonna lie. I guess I'm used to scenes from *actual* romance novels, and have a hard time seeing myself living up to them (and believe me, I have a pretty high standard for my RL reading as well...). But when I saw what passed for great lemons in actual fandom, I was able to relax just a bit. Even if I don't write the standard, I don't think I could be shredded to bits, either.
This is the standard to live up to, people! Shad, I'm doomed
...
You're kidding, right? o.O Not everything I read was horrible, LMAO.
I love you and am honestly grateful you write for this pairing
And I love you guys! Mir/San fans FOR THE WIN when it comes to awesometastic feedback on stories. I've only received 2 reviews for this chapter on the archives, but OMFG. I think I managed to squee myself into next week because of them!
