Summary: Both Horatio and Archie have colds. Archie's boredom makes him a little more talkative than Horatio would like.

The bunny you gave me was just so incredibly good. I hope my stab at it isn't a total failure. I'm not entirely happy with this effort, but it did make me re-watch the Duel again, so not a complete loss ;-) It's great to have another reason to write Horatio & Archie, though--thanks! I hope your 2011 is a great one!

YES! This was PERFECT! It was EXACTLY what I wanted. You even put in things I loved, but didn't mention; build-up, handkerchief use...glorious.

And the bit where Horatio tells Archie that he's wanted...that was just adorable and sweet and, and...well, you get the point. Long story short, a triumph, a true triumph.

I shall have to see about getting a real account so I can post some fic of my own and try to help you fill your 132 moods challenge. Until then, thank you so much and Happy New Year to you too!
