Reactions and Reviews
Well, [this story and As Easy as Falling Off a Bike] go together; the one is a sequel to the other. Premise is that Avon keeps flirting and then backing off (well, that's practically canon) because he's worried that Blake won't be able to respond. On the Gan analogy, he assumes someone convicted of the charges against Blake will have been conditioned so they can't repeat the offence good point, I thought. In the first story, the pretext for Getting Avon's Clothes Off is a visit to a planet where they have to ride a long way on obsolete bicycles. Blake isn't new to them but Avon is, and is in agony next day I can sympathise. In the second, Blake has got Zen to modify his bath somewhat and they're having this leisurely jacuzzi together. The tension comes from neither being completely sure whether Blake's conditioning can be broken.[1]
Avon and Blake kick back and relax a little for once. The title is not misleading. One of those rare B/A stories where you keep turning the pages - not because you're holding your breath to see when/if/how they'll rip each other to pieces, but because it's such a pleasure to see them enjoying each other.[2]
[Both stories] are lovely. One feels, perhaps, that the Aquitar Project plot is a little too good just to be an excuse to make Avon ride a bike, but I really liked how competent he was - and then I really liked all the business with the wine and the cuddling. Again, it's so nice to have them be IC nice to each other. I love it. These two are amongst my favourites in the zine.[3]
