This is your second Duck Tales story I'm reviewing and I just wanted to say that you're ONE HECK of a talented writer. You managed to give cartoon characters more chemistry than some romance novels' protagonists (no names, for the sake of avoiding a flame war) could ever dream of. I love how you portray Magica - you don't make her into an angel, but she's not completely evil either, she's the wicked, saucy girl we came to know and love. And I never get offended about pairings - like they say, may each of us find their own porn (porn being a metaphor for the things we like and enjoy :]).

Nice story. I like the idea: pairing Scrooge and Magica. But i stil like the ScroogexGoldie idea more.

"Ten Cents" felt like what I think they would be like if Disney hadn't kept such a tight leash on them. I like that in the beginning the sexual undertones were unintentional on their part and natural, playing off their chemistry. Their dialogue is just eerie, it's one of those conversations where they do mean what they say when they say it, but they realize that they are talking about something else entirely half way through and just don't stop. Scrooge himself doesn't seem to be able to keep himself from twisting his words deeper into Magica like a serrated corkscrew, and he knows it, they both know it. With Scrooge's "sometimes, a dime is just a dime", he not only cheapened Magica but himself too, and the visual of her standing amongst the strewn contents of her purse; again, very potent with raw energy, blatant groping would have left them more fully clothed.

In your opening line, I think you should have had Scrooge call Magica a bitch there instead of later on in the chase. Reason being, you set the tone with the first line and then changed it. Strange thing is, the way it is now is true to life, people change tones all the time and no one thinks anything of it. Reading it, however, it felt a hair off with the old curmudgeon, like having one stepping stone slightly higher than the ones around it. Downside is, swapping the two words requires more than just a quick switch, and other than the slight trip the rest is smooth as silk.

wow...i loved it. i mean i love goldie to death but scroogex,magica pairing is AWESOME...good job!! :)

I'm pretty intrigued by this pairing, too.

Holy CRAP. You're even more awesome than I thought you were to begin with. XD This was so much fun to read. The pairing of Magica and Scrooge may be pretty odd, but it's certainly entertaining. I love how you always get Scrooge down perfectly. :)

This was a very amusing fiction! Great job on this one. Love your OneShots!

...Hmm. Perhaps if I'd known the DuckTales reason Magica needed the dime—since it's clearly not the "the first coin touched by the richest man on Earth" explanation—this might have made a bit more sense to me. However, this was still very well-done, and (unless I missed some small but vital sentence in there), I find it highly amusing that Scrooge was apparently "searching" her right on the sidewalk. XD Hopefully it wasn't a busy street. As well, since I remember hearing somewhere that women subconsciously consider their purses an extension of their being, the fact that Magica seemed to feel "violated" by Scrooge's careless treatment of her purse was extra entertaining. Great work—I especially like the bit towards the beginning stating that "you didn't have to like someone to be attracted to them". (Sounds like you've just invented a rallying cry for legions of shippers...)

Oh, this was heaven. I know you've read my stuff, so you know I adore the Scrooge/Magica pairing, and therefore, you gotta know, I almost died happy reading this.

The sensual experience, the characters still acting to their true selves, and the ending that seems to have thrown all your previous readers off...brilliant over all. I have to go recommend this to my fellow shippers. (We are few, but we exist.)

On behalf of them, I thank you for writing this. And now I must go read it again.

That was hot. XD I know I say that about a lot of your work and it's probably getting repetitive but boy do I mean it!

[she would have missed it—Scrooge’s eyes grew softer, murkier, and his frown intensified into uncertainty]

This description was my favorite part. I've never read a better description of a somber thought passing a character's mind.

Good one. Now please go back to 'The Sincere Fraud'. And, just so I know, which one was Scrooge's real Number One Dime?

This fic is actually pretty close to Magica's and Scrooge's real relationship.

It's a good story...but can you explain WHY you want Mr. McD to have a romance with MAGICA and not, say, Goldie?

I don't get it.
