Haha loved how all the people thought Matthew was boring, but behind closed doors... I hope there is a Mary version story too!

I realized after reading this again, the little clues you put in this one shot that forshadows what is to come in the other one shots. For example when Catherine talked about how M/M would never go away for a "naughty weekend trip". Just love it!

Ugh, I hate people like Catherine. Ugh ugh ugh.

Ummm... Mary is totally going to rope Catherine into a threesome one day with a blindfold and a ball gag and let Matthew fuck her until kingdom come.

How cute! This Catherine was pissing me off, I kept thinking Mary would do something! You wrote ir perfectly and true to Mary's character I thought!

So amusing... And HOT! Can we have more one shots like this one? Please...?!

I should have reviewed this long ago, but I have to tell you how much I love this AU. I truly do. I hope you write more of it. Thank you for posting this because I truly enjoyed reading it. I hope to read more sometime in the future! :)

Another chapter in this exciting universe! Maybe next time we can get a closer look at their lives with kids

Catherine and the girls' night out was spot-on! I have been in conversations about a different topic but with Catherine-likes. They believe they are modern and direct and that justifies anything, they like the shock value of the things they say but it can turn to be predictable as Mary says. I find it plain rude, one thing is to talk openly and the other is to choose someone's else significant one to illustrate a point, that's plain rudeness. I like that Mary didn't gave her details but wanted the others to support her. In the end, it's her opinion that counts, she's the one that has a relationship with him. In the same line, I liked that Matthew wasn't angry or insecure and that he quickly understood the meaning behind Mary's words and that they don't need to correct other's assumptions, they have their private way of being with each other. As always, your writing really comes to life, the description of London when Matthew is riding the bicycle, when Mary arrives at home and remembers all the moments and the meaning of the house.

Love all the details you put in those modern stories, it makes them so realistic! And the fact that Mary's friends lust after some guy with Mercedes while Matthew is equipped with much better stuff ;) And it makes me wonder... those people really don't see all of the eyesex festival when it comes to Matthew and Mary? :D Because let's be real, thay are masters at that. And for them those lustful stares are just the beginning ;) Loved this piece and I'm really looking forward to all the aces you have up your sleeve!

oh yes... that was absolutely delicious. I love how Mary decided to keep her friend's misconception about Matthew to herself...she knows the real him. And what a welcome home! Wow! Perfectly wonderful...

AAAAAAAAAGH SO GOOD! ::does a happy dance::

That is the best boring ever! I was kind of worried that something was going to happen in the club. Good for Mary for not giving in an trying to say they weren't boring! *sigh* Matthew is the perfect guy!

Wow. Your writing never disappoints. I absolutely love this story you've created, from breaking bread.
The balance between the different scenes you wrote were perfect. It was fun seeing Mary out with her friends and hearing what they thought of Matthew and Matthew and Mary as a couple. And then of course, the end showed how untrue it all was and that they really didn't care.
Fantastic

Great one-shot to this wonderful M/M modern universe! Loved seeing Matthew organized and in control in certain facets of his and Mary's life. It appears that Mary relies on him in so many ways and his predictability provides her comfort where her friends may see it boring. However, Mary knows that he's far from boring, especially in the bedroom and even referred to him as a "sex god" in Shifting Sands. Love that Mary doesn't try to convince or reveals too much about Matthew to her friends. She knows the real Matthew and am happy to see how loyal she is to him. Can't get enough of this universe!
