But hey....Chapter 20 is looking to have some Bottom!Table!Ennis in it *she says hopefully* :)

Helen, you are insane! Everywhere you go you beg for Bottom!Ennis.

I especially like how Ennis is so clearly characterized in his dialogue. I am totally digging Law Enforcement!Ennis!!

Here I was the one that started this thread and I haven't been around to read or comment. RL rearing its ugly head again. Modem struck by lightening and now I'm forced to use the internet at the public library until I can afford a new one. :(
Yeah to all those who are reading this fantastic story! And welcome to all the new ones, too! I know you will love Sgt. Del Mar and PD Twist, and Beatrice's sharp and humorous style of writing.
Just a few little notes -
Louise - I agree! Ooooo! Those handcuffs. Not to mention what body part they're decorating.
Helen - Hmmm...bottom Ennis. I don't know...but I guess any time with naked Jack and Ennis is worth while! :)
Beatrice - THANK YOU!!!! I look forward to Wednesdays each and every week. Haven't read yesterday chapter, but LowerMahattan is my next stop! Can't wait!
Another little note here of a personal nature - As a health care professional, I truly appreciate the way you handled Jack's possible HIV infection. His immediate testing, the three month follow-up and his insistance that they wait until the final six month results. Responsible and intellegent. (And their constant use of condoms and non-petroluem lubricant, too) Knowledgeable people (which, as a police officer, Ennis would be, and Jack, his sexual orientation out in the open, also) understand that this deadly disease is transmitted through bodily fluids, which, of course, includes semen, and any ingestion would expose the receipant to the virus. All it takes is one time, one weak moment, one incident of unprotected sex - either oral or anal - and it's a death sentence.
The way you fit this modern scourge into your story, without compromising either plot, characters or credibility, should be applauded. Thanks again.
Off to read Chapter 20!!!! :) :) :) :)

Rby I have to agree with you. I actually enlisted some professional assistance with getting the details on the rise of the AIDS epidemic for my own story, because you cannot write a fic in the present time, or move into the "AIDS era" of the early 1980's without facing it. I was getting out of college at the time the epidemic rose and knew little about it, and I needed a full education in order to write what I have about AIDS and the gay community. And Beatrice definitely has done her homework here!

Rby,
I have lost too many friends to AIDS related diseases to take the subject lightly. As Louise said, any story set in the now needs to address it and do so in an informed and responsible manner. Also, goes to creating real characters to have Jack and Ennis aware and acting accordingly.
I'm a reasearch fiend. Don't know a particular detail? I spend hours making sure to educate myself. My readers deserve nothing less.
Thank you! For your kind words and enthusiasm! Makes me smile like an idiot!
Hope you enjoyed Chapter 20!
