Elizabeth (Betsy). Twenty-two, almost twenty-three, but perpetually seventeen. Whirls back & forth between vulgarity & delicacies like a dervish proper & has been known to disappear for months on end. Worshipper of Carroll, devotee of Lovecraft & BPAL hoarder absolute. Destined for the madhouse.

But of course! He is Ten, and Ten does that kind of thing.
YAY! ::does a little dance:: That would actually be wonderful to see, I think. ^___^ I don't think I'd hate him right then, possibly. :D
Before Coupling, the only version I knew was Nat King Cole's. Doris Day's was a recent discovery.
And oh my, that is quite some scene!
Before I saw Coupling, her version was ALL I knew. But both versions are lovely! :D
& ISN'T IT? & I CAN'T GET THE IMAGE OF TWO & JAMIE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT OUT OF MY HEAD & IT'S . . . WELL, IT'S SOMETHING. It's either that, or a bit of a tango-y thing - something with lots of dipping one's partner back in one's arms, lots of head falling back & a lot of closeness . . . what kind of sick mind do I have, honestly? ::giggles:: (I don't know; what's sicker - Two & Jamie having a dance like that, or - yes, laugh if you wish; I blame this idea ALL on the commentary of The Invasion - Pat singing Françoise Hardy's Tous les garçons et les filles IN FRENCH, WITH THE FRENCH ACCENT. TAKE YOUR VOTE. :P)
The funny thing is, the premise makes it look like it's going to be a cracktastic book, but it ends up being one of the most beautiful EDAs I've read so far.
Which one is it - I'm curious now! :D
In terms of Fitz's personal arch, there are two you should check out: Unnatural History (Fitz/Sam and Eight/Sam, though sadly not much in terms of Eight/Fitz) and Interference (not only it's Sam's last story and Compassion's first, but it has a HUGE BIG THING happening to Fitz that left me going "huh?" and which will have implications in later books).
Ooo, thankyou! I'll remember those two when I get back to reading the EDAs. Fitz♥♥
(& hee - I'm watching Tombwatch right now & GOODNESS ME, THE STORY OF THE LACY KNICKERS HAS FINALLY BEEN HEARD. ::dies:: I loved it! & yes, I'll never be able to think of that scene the same way again. :P)
