Druella tried to play a wicked games without knowing the rules. She deserved her fate. Your imp was even funnier than mine.

Thanks, Def, glad you liked the tail teasings, they were fun to write. I'm sure the teasings increased in time and they may be an indication of Imp's feelings. Interesting that you see Angel as female, was that because of the nickname (Angie) or the 'girly' behavior? I was wondering whether anyone would notice the gender ambiguity, because I think there's only one indication of Angel's gender in the whole story (and none in PPC). Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Hello my dear editor and thank you for making the scheduled posting possible.

As Peter had predicted, morning brought a small body wriggling in between them and settling down with a satisfied sigh. When Patrick opened his eyes, he found two wide-awake blue orbs trained on his face. Michael didn’t say anything, but when Patrick smiled and whispered ‘Good morning’ the boy grinned back and repeated the greeting. “Good morning, Papa.” His voice was almost inaudible and he held a finger to his lips to tell Patrick they needed to be quiet. The cardmaker nodded; his breast

Tillykke med fødselsdagen Happy waving of Danish birthday flags I can't find a SATW comic with penguins, so here's a spooky kitten one.

Thanks, dragon, I love that you praise both the idea and the execution. Both are needed to make a story work well. The story is meant as a stand-alone for now, apart from the random glimpses you can get in my Valentine story. But as I've said several times by now, lol, I'm hoping to revisit this A.I. team at some point.

Thanks, Puppilull, I'm glad you agreed with the open ending. I normally like to wrap everything up, but in this case I felt we'd reached a sort of plateau and anything more would have to be a new story. I have definitely considered switching POV as a way to gain new insight. I'll wait for more inspiration and time. You're definitely right about love and lust being a good combination. Joel in Thaw springs to mind Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thanks, northie, your Bureaucracy is hell cracked me up Good is often boring, but Angel is a nice backdrop for Imp to act against. Sort of the reverse of 'you need dark to see the glory of the light.' But, yeah, there's a reason I used Imp's POV. The A.I. partnership did work out unusually well, since they didn't have to try multiple partners before they clicked with someone. As for anything else... More? Perhaps one day, given enough time and inspiration. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thanks, Drew and Yay back at you. Those two crack me up too, they're the comic relief from too much romance and sentimental drivel. I'm glad you liked the naughty stuff and Imp's button pushing, but you know who inspired me, right? Else check out dugh's post on page 1377 of the CotT topic. you're absolutely right! Angel is Sweden and Imp is Denmark of SATW. I can't believe I didn't think of that. I even gave Imp a Danish name (see my reply to glittery's review). Love your interpretation of the ending. I think you're right abut them having feelings (of love?) for each other and Imp being totally unaware. He's gonna freak out when he wakes up. But yes, the real unknown is whether they have mutual 'lust' for each other too. If not, they may find out what happens to fated couples who admit to love but refuse to consumate. Angel didn't like it If I ever return to them, as I hope, we may find out. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thanks, Emi, I'm glad the story made you feel those wonderful emotions. I loved your thought about the management playing wicked games on their A.I. teams. Angel and Imp certainly seems to have capture the hearts of my readers - and perhaps each other ? I'll leave it up to your imagination for now, but I'm not ruling out a revisit at some point. Until then you'll have to make do with random glimpses in PPC. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thanks, Val, I'm very pleased you, Cole and others who did not 'know' the angel and imp beforehand, nevertheless enjoyed the story. I would like to write more stories about them, but I need both time and inspiration. I think you're right about their dynamic creating plenty more hilarious scenes no matter how they are together. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thanks, Cole, I'm pleased you found the story funny, because that was my main aim. The heart part was almost an unexpected bonus. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thanks, LL, I'm so pleased you loved my A.I. team and I'm not surprised Imp made you laugh. He really is bad the fun way, right? Angie may have resented the teasing and the nickname at first, but the angel did seem to sort of enjoy it eventually, perhaps even provoking Imp? I'm glad you liked the assignments, it was not so easy to keep the balance between focusing on the A.I. team yet flesh out the humans enough to make them seem real. I did try to think of the next scene when Imp wakes up, but it wouldn't come. At least you know they're still a team in Patrick's head. I won't rule out writing a sequel, but I need to focus on my three! incomplete stories. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thanks, Gary, such lovely descriptive words make me I'm glad you think the story fits the theme, since it's my first anthology attempt. A common goal is a very powerful thing, as you know from your own supernatural story. As for love sneaking up... Thanks for reading and reviewing.

LOL, I'm sure you did, too, and that the prediction inspired me. It's so much fun having Eric be the pushy one (hehe back). I love that you say his little surprise caught everyone. I'm sure Nelson will lock his door very carefully. Thanks again for a fast edit and for the review.

Thanks, craftingmom, I certainly had fun coming up with ways for Imp to annoy Angel. I love that you saw the analogy to angel/devil pairs promoting diffeent agendas. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thanks, dugh, I'm glad your head let you read this story and you enjoyed it. I'm pleased my A.I. team is liked by all readers, whether they know PPC or not. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thanks, glittery, I love that you focus on Imp's tail moments, I had such fun coming up with ideas for that (with a little help from my betas). I'm glad they are clearer in your head now, that's part of what I wanted to achieve. Oh yes, Imp is in for a shock when he wakes up. I have no idea whether he'll flee in horror or jump-and-hump Angel. LOL, Imp's name, glad someone tried to work out the Danish 'sentence.' (I hope the spoiler hiding below works.) Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thanks, Arazon, I'm so thrilled you loved Imp, he's my favorite too. He gets to do and say all the fun stuff. But of course Imp mainly 'shines' due to the presence of Angel who somehow brings out the worst in him. I look forward to finding out what you think about my Valentine's story. At least I know you'll be patient with the slow posting of chapters. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thanks, CG, I take it as a compliment that you like them better than Jacob and the others. I'm delighted to have made you laugh and that you liked the twist in the end. Yes, you're right about their current target, but I'm so glad you loved them for themselves. I may return to them at some point, maybe with an Angel POV, but I wanted this story to work on its own. Thank you for reading and reviewing (and yes, nosily was mean to be noisily )

loved the angel and devil icons. thanks, Kitt. Unfortunately, they are no longer visible after the site upgrade, so I added the normal ones her.

Thanks, Paul, I'm glad you enjoyed it and felt it had humor as well as the other things. I worked hard on the fun parts, so it's a relief to know they worked. I'm not sure I can come up with another A.I. team, but I won't exclude returning to these two one day. You can catch a few glimpses of them in my Valentine's story (The Cardmaker and the Caretaker). Thanks for reading and reviewing.

I can't complain about my first try at writing an anthology story. Wonderful reviews and even suggestions of a 'sequel' Thanks to my awesome beta/editor team, to Renee and Co for setting the antho up, and to all of you for reading. Oh, and the banner was as if made for my Imp.

Thank you, Drew I liked your fairy tale analogy, including the evil step-parent. I'm sure Peter can deal with him on his own, though. I agree Onkel John sounds good. Their friendship is all set to become permanent and a source of joy. Yep, Peter and Patrick are going to have so much fun acting out all their fantasies.

“I cannot believe we got another Gay Boy!” Imp rolled his eyes and retorted, “I can’t belief ya complain ‘bout it.” “But he is the twelfth one in a row!” Angel’s voice matched the pout on the cute face. “And?” “Don’t you get annoyed by the similar assignments? Or being stuck with each other?” Imp couldn’t help the small growl escaping as he conjured up more black pillows and sprawled on them in a deliberately bored manner. He was sick of Angel whining. “I want diversity, new challenges, di
