How did I miss this? Anyway, it made for a good read, and maybe, this way, I won't have to wait for too long until the next one.
These are the comments I wrote while reading: 1. Okay... Clara. Am I going to know later what she can do, or is that a funny reference for people that know Fables?
2. You spell it geas? I've read (and written) Geis (in a weird, BTVS/Veronica Mars crossover). From what you're describing it seems to be referring to the same thing.
3. Aww... the traps! That's just awesome. It made me wanna laugh and cringe at the same time. I can relate on a level you can't imagine. I've always despised my parents for using those because mice are just adorable and breaking one in two with a metal rod is just too cruel. If I ever have any in my home (unlikely, because I have a kitty, but who knows?), I'll use the ultra sound thing that just makes them not want to be around. No need to kill.
Now for the post reading review: I'm glad some of the things are cleared up. For Javi, and for me. For a fleeting moment I thought Cinderella's mice were called Gus and Ace and tried to picture Kevin making someone's dress, but... No. I feel kind of relieved somehow.
It kind of sent me for a loop when Kevin explained the punishment are shared. It makes sense, in a way, he's responsible for the Mundane he brings around. But him saying that he's willing to bet that Javier will behave according to their rules on his life is... wow. That's love for ya.
No. Javier is a little torn (little, eh. Talk about a euphemism). He gets to marry Kevin, so he gets to not pretend his gestures and looks and play the dangerous game of allowing himself these things. But he also knows all the while that he can't have it. It's fake. Or so he thinks, right? Those situations are a torture.
Now, here's to hoping you break the pattern and make them both realize quickly that they're both not really pretending and maybe making all the suspence and danger and angst about something else. Or just make it crack.
I can just imagine Beckett and Castle's faces when they come back, like, 24h hours after Javier went after Kevin for morale support at a funeral and announce they're married. Castle would have a field day.
