This is a very entertaining read. The interplay between the two agents lends a lot of energy to it, especially because the contrast between their reactions is so stark. It's clear that Xericka goes out on a limb to try and resolve the situation, so it's nice to see that it works. The progression from argument to explanations to resolution seems natural and ends up being satisfying.
There's also a lot of humor. I particularly liked the bit about the Adoptive Parent's Handbook—the little Marquis de Sod doodle on the corner did me in. It's an awesome mental image. Also, "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." ^_^
I just have one question: if Makes-Things coming back is the result of the universe pulling him out of its ass, then what was his death? O.o;
Finally! Here it is, the interlude that ended up taking on a life of its own. After their last mission leaves a wound on Gremlin's pride, she goes off on a tirade - much to Xericka's chagrin. Does... more
One possible German translation for being screwed can be literally translated as being 'in the/an ass.' So it makes a weird kind of roundabout sense there.
Once again, excellent work with Xericka's lack-of-emotions. I like that she's still able to show concern for her partner, and move out of her comfort zone in order to make Gremlin feel better, while... more
It was a really good insight on your Agent pair. Xericka's emotionless behaviour was used very well, I think. It was really funny... and as I already said previously, I think that that girl is... more
Oh, this was interesting to read. The agents came off like real people (well, as much as they should, anyways) and nothing felt forced. One thing: I looked over 'The one with Zuko's baby' and it... more
Making characters seem like real people is one of the key things I try to do in my writing. As for your question: this does not take place immediately after "The One With Zuko's Baby." I tried to... more
This is awesome. I always love your stuff, you write so well. Poor Gremlin, though- losing hair always does suck. (If you want, she can borrow Agent Grace's hair-changing machine- she may end up with ... more
This was a very enjoyable read. Well done. The personalities of your agents really came through, here. I liked getting to know them in a situation that was not normal for them. I loved the line about ... more
High praise indeed. I'm very glad you liked it! I owe JulyFlame a lot for helping me with the suggestive scenes. I had never written anything in that vein before, and she was kind enough to give me a ... more
First things first: This was really good. I enjoyed reading this, and I can't think of anything I disliked about it. Second: Thank you. Thank you so so SO much for you're portrayal of Nobodies.... more
I'm glad I was able to put your concerns at ease. The emotionality of badfic Nobodies has always been a sticking point for me in the past, and I wanted to ensure that I didn't repeat the old cliches... more
