not my fault I'm slacking

[maderr]

If I don't get any work done tonight, it is totally Skylark's fault. She sent me guys who hate each other are forced to be partners slash. That she didn't make me open it to see that's what it was, is entirely beside the point. Her fault!

Ahahaha. I can't help it. One of my favorite parts of this tried and true premise is the boss who won't take their shit:

“Quiet, both of you!” Burns barked suddenly. “Grady, you’re staying
in Criminal until you get your ass killed or do something so illegal even I
can’t cover for you, understand? Garrett, you’re to make certain he doesn’t do
either of those things. Is that clear? And you will both like it.”

That is Cut & Run by Roux and someone else (sorry but I am terrible with names) isn't it? I can forgive you for slacking if that is the story.... That one is good :D

That does indeed sound interesting. I also have a question for you. I've been rereading dwtd and it occurred to me I'm not clear what determines whether a demon is a demon lord or not. I know it has something to do with age, but you weren't clear if it was total age or time on earth. Likewise does true age or time on earth determine how powerful a demon lord is, b/c I'm curious how Sable would compare to a lord that has been on earth for longer.

I looked it up and found the first chapter online free to read, and I... I am hooked. D: Now I have to get it, damn you.

A demon lord is simply a demon who has acquired enough strength he requires an anchor. It would vary from demon to demon, slightly, but I think they can roam at will for about a couple hundred years or so? Cause sable was imprisoned for two hundred, then I think roamed for 200, ad it's not quite a hundred years after that he meets Chris? Don't quote me, it's been like a million years since I had to think about it. And once they acquire a territory and all, their powers sort of peak and then stabilize. If Sable is outclassed by another, older demon lord, it would be more due to experience than anything. I think. I have no f'ing clue where those notes have gone ^^;;;;

That makes sense. I was wondering b/c the demon chick in the first dwtd story was referred to as very young, and I got the impression that meant overall, not just counting time on earth. On the other hand, Asenath becomes a lord as soon as he's no longer a book, but he may have gained power during that period.

Yeah, Asenath was a weird weird exception. The strictures of his enslavement were funky. And he's sort of settling quickly b/c of what he was put through, and because the wolves provided a rare and prime opportunity.

Those authors are pretty good together. Did you try Caught Running by them too? It's even better XD

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Yep, yep ^__^ I love that one.
