monkeys and ponies

I have to count myself among those left emotionally dead inside by GitFp [no, I won't discuss why and you can't make me, so there] but this fic really seemed genuinely possible and real to me. So, in short, well done! Not to sound patronising at all, but I could believe her motivation and her responses and I could totally believe Ten's initial awkwardness and then his - ah - exceptional talents in the relevant department...............Oh hell <>THUD!!!<>
