Quite right too Louise. You,d have to get their *ahem* poses right wouldnt you? Make sure everything was in it,s rightful place. *ahem*  ;) ;) ;) We could always give the pictures a thorough going over for you couldnt we peeps?  The fact that it would mean spending HOURS looking at pics of our boys in their various *ahem* poses, is NO trouble atall. ;) We,d be only too happy to help. Wouldnt we June? ;) ;) ;) ;D :laugh:

Okay guys, I just got dragged off to the boss's office, who just found out I can't sign a new contract because of a clause in the old one, and apparently righteousness pays off since they just extended me till end of November.

The wolf gets pushed back from the door for another month!

Glad to hear that Louise. Takes the pressure off for a bit longer.

That last chapter was lovely - warm and fuzzy.  ;D  I do love those boys together.

Having a bit of a pants days at work on top of trying to sell our flat and buy a new place (solicitors fees - my God!!!), so these little interludes are keeping me going.  :)

6000 posts!

I never imagined, when I started this thread, that it would turn into one of the most popular threads at Bettermost. How many new members have joined because of this story? How many good times have we shared, as well as serious discussions?

And we have many chapters to go and when the Saga is done, we can all start back at the beginning and re-analyze the whole thing.

Congratulations, everyone!

Yep Souxi, you hit the nail on the head.

Of course there is the more exciting definition of pants as in the pants that Ennis and Ellery like to tear off each other  ;)

"And they clung to one another, inseparable, as the hostile night was driven back beyond the plywood securing their window from those who could not understand or appreciate their inexpressible joy."

You know this quote from the end of chapter 58 could be applied to those who do not appreciate this story. They hurl rocks at the window failing to comprehend the joy we all take in this fabulous fic!.



I recently got a glimpse of the depth the stonethrowers have sunken to. It is beyond belief.  >:(
You are so right Jo, they really can't and won't understand the joy.
