Really loved this idea, and you're a wonderful storyteller.

love the cub talk and nick being back and belle reassuring him.

Oh, this was so good. I feel like I'm basking in a post-fanfic glow.

This is excellent! A worthy installment to the series! Love!

I loved it! So good!

I really enjoy this story. Do more. ;)

This was a great story, I really enjoyed it and I'm sad to see that it is over. But maybe now you'll have more creative juices to dedicate to Forbidden Fruit and It All Comes Tumbling Down :) which I also love.

Best. Story. Ever.

I love Beast!Rush

Somehow the image of Nick in just unbuttoned jeans is even sexier than completely unclad. Lovely.

Yay! Back to happy. Thank you! Maybe next we could see them in the console room, once Nick is declared medically sound enough to work again? And then I'd love to see them discover that they'd managed to make that cub - a happy surprise for Belle, and the fulfillment of Primal Nick's plan, perhaps surprising Dr. Rush with how fiercely he wanted it too?

Perhaps the thorns have lingering after-effects for Nick, triggered by proximity to Belle? Just a thought.

You've done such a brilliant job with this (and all your fics) that I have no doubt you have brilliant plans of your own. I can't wait to read whatever you write next!

Thanks again!

Oh, thank goodness. I couldn't have stood much more angst through this chapter, that poor, miserable bastard. Lovely as always, Ms. Faery!

So fun! Wow. Can you please write one more chapter? I want the happy ending! You could start with Rush seeing himself in a mirror, realizing that she'd marked him too. Then maybe reviewing some of the video footage, especially of them in the cafeteria, showing how much Belle liked this, and then maybe one final reunion moment? I just hate leaving them both in such a bad place after such an awesome, for lack of a better word, romp!

You've no idea how happy I am that there's another chapter! To me, this story is just wonderful. I love how you just suddenly brought Rush back but he's still suffering from the effects. And his realisation that he's in love with Belle, and always has been is brilliant. I really do hope you write another chapter for this heart-breaker! Best Dearie Cx

"He'd been entranced by Belle since the day he met her, and he'd fallen more in love with her every day. He'd dreamed that one day she might return his feelings, but the plant had shattered that pretty fantasy. She'd never permit him to be near her again." - This was so heartbreaking. Not just for the fact Rush is down and heartbroken but he has unintentionally probably just broke Belle's heart and when she wakes up she will be hurt and embarrassed.
