jdf ahahha. I'm glad that it came off that way for you. When I started jamming the section breaks and pouring on the artsy little tricks to hide the fact that this was mostly about me wanting to write about Bush having to get drunk before he was capable of buggering his hero, I swore I could hear Forester spinning his grave. XD

And thank you so much for thinking well enough of the fic to suggest posting it to the comm. *___* I'm incredibly shy about posting to comms, though -- I have this terrible complex about foisting my stuff on people and annoying them and cluttering up their f-lists. black_hound has already been so kind to recc it all over the place, and uh, it's going to take me another week of breathing into a brown paper bag before I feel comfortable telling anybody about this piece of total self-indulgence.
