Close, but no cigar. 2x1. Though I -can- appreciate other pairings involving Duo, just for the Duo-ness of them. (Don't get me -near- 2x4 though, I know I'm allergic to it but I don't know why.) After reading Maldoror's Arrangement I went from tolerating 2x5x2 to really understanding the potential there, so if it's to be said that after 2x1 I have any preferences, 2x5 is on that list along with 1x2 and 3x4x3. I specifically list my preference as 2x1 as a proactive action against what tends to happen when Duo bottoms. *hisses*
"Tempered" is a good word - I haven't read your old work, but I actually was looking over my own (god knows why) the other day and reflected on how excessively intense many of the charcters were acting. I suppose it's a trend that can be broadly applied, then, that we learn temperance as writers as we go. (There's a sword metaphor in there somewhere, I'm sure of it...)
Well, flattery aside, yes. But I've never been so evil as to write PORN without VISUALS. *whiiiiiines* You are such a damn tease. ♥
