“Connor!”

James sighed as Burton strolled towards Connor. Really, for a so-called genius, Burton seemed sadly lacking in memory... let alone any of the other qualifications for the role.

The startled, no, the scared look that flickered across Connor's face for an instant made James' decision for him. He would not leave Connor at the mercy of Burton, no matter how much James' heart fluttered and his emotions roller-coasted when in Connor's presence.

“Connor,” James called out as he stepped into the main operations area. “A word.” He didn't miss the poisonous look Burton shot at him.

Ooh yes, I like Lester protecting Connor! And he'd definitely be scathing about Burton.

Thanks. Lester's developed a protective streak when it comes to Connor (amongst other things *g*). Hee, my Lester muse has become very anti-Burton.

Ra. Go Lester! Save Connor from the evil Burton. Ra!!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks and Lester is not going to let evil!Burton harm his Connor.

OK, I have finally caught up on this whole series, and can I just say what an absolute genius you are. I had read individual drabbles, but when you put them all together it is so adorable. I had no idea James could break so beautifully as he did in So Much for the Good Life. These two need each other so badly and don't even realize it. I'm absolutely in love with this series. I love Lester's protective streak in these last few scenes. The characterization is so spot on. Write FASTER!!!!

Thank you, glad you are enjoying the series. The boys are (very) slowly realising they need to be together. Glad you liked Lester. Um, I've challenged myself to write the series using the P100 prompts for as long as possible, so that makes about 1 drabble per prompt.

James to the rescue, Yay!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

James just had to come to the rescue, even if he didn't care for Connor like he does. Thanks for reading.

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Yay! for Lester :-)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* Lester FTW.

[fredbassett]

Well done, Lester!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Lester's gone all protective where Connor's concerned. Thanks again for the beta.

[echo-fangirl.livejournal.com]

Yay Lester! He is an excellent protector!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

He is *nods* Connor couldn't have a better protector.

Hee. Oh, boys, wake up and smell the - whatever. :D

Also, your Burton is creepy and scary and gives me nightmares. ::Shudders:: I was just saying on someone's post yesterday, what if Burton turns out to be the good guy and TPTB have been screwing with us? lol.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

They are slowly waking up to a mutual interest *g*

My muse likes making Burton creepy (sorry for the nightmares). Um... that would make this an AU *g*

[wild-force71.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh! An AU in this fandom? But...no! There's no precedent!
< / sarcasm >

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

LOL.

[wild-force71.livejournal.com]

A lol, yay! My work here is done... :wanders off happily::

[nietie.livejournal.com]

Phew! Safe (for now).

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

That was Connor's reaction. Thanks for reading.

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

Yay Lester! Although also eek! He doesn't appear to be Burton's favourite person at the moment...

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Definitely yay for Lester. And no he isn't, even if I'm not quite sure why... *eg*

[cordeliadelayne]

Nicely done!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

yey for Lester! Poor Connor needs to be protected from the nasty man!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm sure Lester will continue to protect Connor *nods*

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Go Lester!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Lester's not about to let Burton have Connor.

[eriah211.livejournal.com]

Hehee, that's our Lester!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

That it is. Lester ftw. Thanks for reading.
