I will do the software upgrades I’m supposed to as soon as I get a minute to breathe….

Hi Argleena, and thank you! lol… I think it’s going to go exactly where Erestor wants it to, or else But I’m sure the twins will get a great deal out of it too.

Oh, you are a wicked tease! But I know you won’t keep me waiting too long!

Thank you so much, Bronx! If Erestor’s plan works, they’ll both find this a trial. They’ll each want what the other is getting so much they’ll probably be drooling over each other. In Elrohir’s case, that point might come sooner. Elladan is really quite calm about it all. But I think you are right about Elrohir – seeing Elladan like that will affect him deeply. And I do believe Elladan will be willing to beg for Erestor to have him… poor sod. He isn’t going to get what he wants. Not yet, anyway. I’m so glad you enjoy this story! If I am honest, it is my favourite of the two. Dark!Erestor is kind of nice to write. *g*

Thank you, Bronx! I am glad you like the new side to Legolas… I feel it makes him into a much more rounded character. Plus, it allows us to play with Thranduil, of course! Ha… nothing good for the man, that is true. Legolas might find himself suffering a bit of a flashback, lol, but this time Erestor is there too. And that is all the hinting I will do *g* You are such a fabulous reviewer – thank you for all the encouragement you give me!

Thanks! I like Phinbella a lot, myself; I think I have a thing about making unrequited love, you know, requited. It was for that reason that I found AYA heartbreaking: We learn that Isabella NEVER got up the nerve to express her feelings to Phineas and just kept pining for him until she eventually gave up. I was angry that Isabella ended up being too weak to go after what she wanted, instead letting herself pine silently for Phineas for years, and I was sad that her feelings remained unrequited until long after she got over them. And, of course, I was annoyed that every Phinbella story I ever wrote had been suddenly rendered incompatible with canon. Exactly. I feel that for a man, a woman wanting to have his baby is both a tremendous gift and the highest compliment. LOL. I was just making the point that being married does not blind a man to the attractiveness of women other than his wife. (Thankfully, my wife acknowledges this and is okay with it. She even gave me a coupon for a strip club once.) The denial thing was really meant to be a sort of real-world rationalization for Phineas’ seeming obliviousness to Candace’s behavior on the show. I don’t doubt that in the minds of the show’s writers, Phineas is just as oblivious as he seems. But because this story is about what goes on below our conscious awareness, I thought it would be interesting to explore the idea that there is more to Phineas’ naivete than that. Exactly. The underlying cause of Candace’s urge to bust her brothers is something I’ve played with in a few different fics, because it just seems too intense to be mere envy. Maybe he’ll just be glad to have some idea of what he’s doing. Plus, I really didn’t want to write a scene that involves Doof being naked. Seeing him in his underwear on the show was bad enough. Right. I think that's a reflection of the way I wrote the characters, which in turn was a reflection of the extent to which I felt like I understood the characters. Phineas and Candace are both pretty up front with their emotions, so in writing them, I felt like I had a solid place to start before I began delving into their subconscious minds. On the other hand, we don't know much about Linda's inner life, and Ferb is a cypher, so in writing about their subconscious minds, I felt as though I were starting almost from scratch: I had to create some understanding of what their conscious thinking is like, which left less opportunity to explore their subconscious thinking in depth. I'd like to think so. Now that the show is off the air, we're free to imagine quite a bit. Thanks! At present, I have no plans for a sequel, but if the right idea comes to me, it could happen. Right now, though, I've got a rather different P&F fic in the works, titled “Hot Yoga.” It features all B-list characters (the only one who is arguably an A-lister is Stacy) and deals with Jenny's attempt to teach a yoga class -- which, thanks to some incense that Jenny “borrows” from her parents to help her students relax, turns into a full-blown orgy. So it’s much less deep than “Dark Dreams, Forbidden Fantasies”; in fact, after the setup, it will pretty much be nonstop porn. Hope you’ll tune in. Thanks for all the reviews!

yep, best xmas present ever!
