"Well, you're the only armed man in the room, so if you do get shot it's your own damn fault," Bennet said angrily.

THAT line makes ME ridiculously happy for some reason.

Also, the wedding may have been sappy, but it was adorkable. I loved the rings. I want to know more about Christophe The Haitian and Morgana the Magnficient! Because that is just... that's just too something, it's awesome.

Also also, the "Yeah, like three years of high school didn't prepare me for that" bit was made of awesome.

You've written Jack Bennet in the first Jack scene title.

I think the hospital scene was good, but the last two are definitely the better for being referred to rather than inserted into the flow of things.

And Jack is so cute ^_^

Awww! I liked the one at the end best.

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

Hee. I think about every third line in the wedding scene made me giggle. Cupcake!

JACK BENNET AND SIMON PORTER Freudian slip?

I'm not goin' to be wranglin' with you every five minutes over whether or not what we're doin' makes sense."
"Gee, and three years of high school totally didn't prepare me for that," Jack replied. YES.

(None of the Catholic weddings I've been to use words like that, but there's a bit of leeway, so that works.)

Aww! I loved all of it!

Awwww. I love the deleted scenes! I'm going to miss these Hiatus Continuations next week...I think I like them better than the actual show :-)

Very dorky but rather adorable last scene. I like both that Amy enjoyed wearing her dress and that Claire is suspicious of it.

Jack and his "yessir" make me grin, and Archeology is perfect for him. ...he's become awfully real to me, Sam. I have a picture of him in my head. When the show comes back I'll keep glancing around corners, looking for a blond kid with a tattoo...

Claude being the only armed man in the room made me snort.

Jack as peacemaker, saying they should listen to Matt, was priceless.

[sam-storyteller.livejournal.com]

Jack's awfully fun. I've got an image in my head of him myself, and it's odd to me to go back and read the early chapters. He's really grown up a lot in a very short time. :)

LOL omg what is wrong with me :D

I wanted to make it really obvious that it was a Catholic ceremony and use traditional Catholic phraseology, but I uhm. *sheepish* wasn't sure what that was. So I grabbed what looked closest. If you can recommend a better set of phrases, please feel free :D)

[sam-storyteller.livejournal.com]

*facepalm* freuuuuuudian slip...

[sam-storyteller.livejournal.com]

LOL, the "your own damn fault" line amused me no end too.

I wish I had done more about the Haitian; after a while I just have so many threads going that some of them fall loose. I literally had a list of characters and had to check off to make sure I'd remembered to write about them recently....

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

LOL I was like Awww, matrilineal... wait, that's the wrong bit of the timeline whut.

Also, how come there was no showdown with The Company? I mean, aren't they pissed off about people muscling in on their territory and being all nice and non-kidnappy?

[sam-storyteller.livejournal.com]

Alas, there was not time. *sighs* In my head, they don't really do a "showdown" as such, but they can of course find people much faster than the Company, and they can warn people about them. I see it more as a corporate takeover -- the stronger Hirou International grows, the more they learn about the Company until eventually they are able to institute a change of power at the very top, which leads to Hirou absorbing the company and instituting a regime change :D

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Hmm, it's a bit at odds with the show's omnipotent presentation of them... I'd have thought Thompson would show up with a cunning plan or at least kidnap students or something. But of course, there's the time issue :P it's amazing you finished this during the hiatus as it is.

if it was any sappier, it'd be a Maple.

i once heard a joke about magicians dating on a comedy station of satellite radio:

"I've always wondered how magicians do it. I mean, is it like, 'Was it good for you?' 'I don't know...WHY DON'T YOU CHECK YOUR BACK POCKET?!'"

which so would have been amy/christophe's honeymoon night summed up.

I think this is what I've heard most often:

I (Name), take you (Name), to be my (lawfully) wedded wife/husband. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part.

I've very much enjoyed this throughout. Thanks for writing such good fic so consistently : )

Re: if it was any sappier, it'd be a Maple.

[sam-storyteller.livejournal.com]

LOL best joke EVAR.

[sam-storyteller.livejournal.com]

That was one of the ones I found, but it seemed very generic. *ponders* well, we'll see. :D

[svalar-unnir.livejournal.com]

Yeah, unfortunately. I think Catholicism got rid of most of its interesting bits with Vatican II. Though I hear exorcism is making a comeback in Italy . . .
