[carabele.livejournal.com]

My thanks to laurose8 for her suggestion to post a link to this story of mine to LADIES FIRST because of the rather unique Thrush "villain". (Is she or isn't she a villain? Be interested to hear readers' take on that question.)

Hey! It seems like I just read this the other day. Wait! I did. Really, really a wonderful and well written story. Can't get the vision of barefoot IK doing Tai Chi on his freezing balcony out of my head for some reason. :D

Thanks! So you like your Russians barefoot and flexible? [laugh]

Just to say, before I lose this post in the backlog, that Valdar is very well done. Besides in action and his team's loyalty, there's that description where you end up making him a zoophile. It's probably a stronger tick to me than to most people, but it is a tick, and one which makes him more solid altogether.

Thanks!

Jack was definitely an interesting character to write, a true study in contrasts.
