and that's why you're stuff is so transcendant, IMO -it's the 
emotional context. 

you always have ALL the bases covered but even from lesser 
writers, I've read fics that were not as technically well written, 
even in cases employing some of the more "groansome" 
cliches but they rocked my world because the emotional 
motivation of the characters was solid. The writer made me 
believe the characters *wanted* to connect. 

and of course, the emotion doesnt have to be love. But it does 
have to be real.
