Oh, man. I want to be able to gush all over you and pull out all the quotes and bits that I love and be as super cool at commenting as Caro but I'm left without the proper words to tell you how much I loved this whole thing. And believe me, I did all my encouraging for purely selfish reasons because I knew that whatever it was you were brewing up would be fantastic...and I was, like, totally right. Go me! *g*
This has been an absolute joy to read from beginning to end. Your characterizations of every single character was so spot on that I get all tingly just thinking about it. This is exactly what I'd like to think went on in NZ and exactly how everyone acted :) You've crawled into my brain and pulled out everything I wanted in a fic...an Orlando that was young and sweetly clueless in some things, wise beyond his years in others and a total little dude *g* And everyone else that was along for the ride - a delicious Bean and Karl...crazy Viggo and master gardener Harry, cardshark Dave - love, love, LOVE them all.
