Reactions and Reviews
(A/V) - Julie Kramer: Avon saves Vila's life and Vila offers himself in return. A bit of a sentimental wallow, and a bit too much of a "Soppy Wobbly Vila" story for me. As usual, People Who Like That Sort Of Thing will like this.[1]
I skipped most of this one. Avon saves Vila’s life (with an action that did not endanger him really at all), so Vila tries to offer him sex as a reward. Avon says no thanks, Vila is very sad and suggests he might leave and everyone on the ship turns on Avon, who is treated as a heartless bastard (to be fair, I don’t think the others know that Avon rejected the sex, but the fic itself seems to think Avon is wrong to have been like ‘er... I never expressed any sexual interest in you and now you’re naked in my bed. This is weird, please get out’). Then they do have sex... I assume at the end of it everything was nice? Not for me, anyway.[2]
Julie Kramer's 'More Than Grateful' read very well, and presented a portrait of Avon and Vila that I could believe.[3]
[I] enjoyed Julie Kramer's 'More Than Grateful'. It took awhile for A/V to grow on me, but I could really get to like stories like this. The last line was particularly nice.[4]
This one was touching. Vila wanted to pay Avon back so bad and then Avon coldly turns him down. But then Avon is forced by Blake to talk to Vila and finally accepts Vila's offer and explains why he couldn't before. But the best part was at the end when Vila saves Avon's life and Avon is waiting for Vila in his cabin. Good story. [5]
