Oh...Oh...traumatised Lee and supportive George!

*Loves Maple*

Author's Response:

Hee, hee, yeah. Getting out in the world starts bring out Lee's fears, I think.

*loves you*

Hey there- I treated myself to this marvelous series over on your LJ last night; in fact, I think I got to read one that follows this prompt and hasn't been posted here yet! I'm totally smitted by this series, and not just because I have such a fondness for George. Your take on these two with George's initial timidity and Lee's forthrightness seemed absolutely spot on, but it was a brief interchange in this particular vignette that just rang like a bell in how true it was: that optimistic, naive George assumes he and Lee will be together for Christmas a year from now, and it's Lee who is somewhat taken aback by George's assumption in that regard.

Your writing style is eloquent and expressive, but it's the content and heartachingly realistic slow blooming of this relationship which prompted me to review what you've written so far. I'm so, so glad that there are many more prompts. I'm very much looking forward to where all you go with this relationship. Kudos!!

Author's Response:

I can not tell you how much your comments mean to me. I just love your writing so much and I'm beside myself that you took the time to read and comment.  It was you who helped me really see George as a character in his own right and separate from Fred.

I created this pairing as a sub-plot to my Harry/Ginny story, where I wanted to portray all the straight boys dealing with a gay brother and I ended up giving them so much thought I just had to write it. 

It tickles me that you picked up on that bit about assumptions about the next Christmas. In my mind,  this George is still very traditional at heart and just sees himself and a 'one relationship forever' kind of bloke, emulating his parents, where as Lee never had anything so permanent. 

Anyway, I could just go on and on about this, but your comments truly thrilled me. I'm honored. Thank you so much!

so right.

i'm totally loving lee and his switching from being the 'teacher' - the one cajoling george to express himself and experience more - and the vulnerable one - who snuggles in and pleads in the dawn.

*sigh*

Q

Author's Response:

I love that you've picked up on that about the different sides of Lee. I wanted to show different aspects of these men, certain strengths and weaknesses that complement each other. I think a lot of men in slash are portrayed as completely "top/bottom""dom/sub" rather than having equal parts of each. 

Thanks for the encouragement, babe!

First time reading this, so I will tell you now that I love the story so far.  Each chapter is quite short, but conveys so much. I love the insecurity George is working around.  And his interactions with his family.  I especially loved his "talk" with Fred. I have never seen that done before and you did it very well.

Author's Response:

I am so glad you like it. It is a story that accompanies my story Within You Without You. I'm trying to make it 'stand alone' but some of this would be enhanced if you are familiar with it. Each chapter is short because of the format I'm writing it in, as a challenge of "50 Smutlets" each mini chapter requiring it to be short and smutty.

Thank you for mentioning his communication with Fred. Although I don't think they have literal 'telepathy' I do think there is a subtle mental connection they have like that.

They are beautiful those boys of yours and I love the depth you've given George.

Author's Response:

ha! That is so funny to hear you say because I was just dispairing to KJCP that I felt I was losing 'George' because of the requirement for each of these to be smutty, I haven't showed him doing his usual 'twin stuff' but I'll be working on it. :)

Thanks!

I just love the understanding and the silent communication betweens the twins.  so right!

Author's Response: I appreciate that. I've never played with writing that sort of thing before, I'd hoped it would work. :D
