I really like how they're not...hating each other. Like they just accept it and move on sort of thing. I don't know.
It felt good to do that. Haha, demonqueen666 pointed out that this is a world in which they HUG ALPHA, and therefore previous bitternesses have presumably been set aside. And I feel like so much of what I have written about them before is so tinged with all that anger and betrayal and violence; it was a nice change to set that aside.
Though in my mind, she drinks Earl Grey. English Breakfast is for pansies who don't know the taste of real tea.
Ha! I meant for that to be a specific sort of Ha Ha Ha, Because You're English, Get It? move on Dom's part, like he's teasing her a little, and now that you point it out, I am totally Team Earl Grey on this one.
I also really liked how Dominic says 'like' so much. I don't know, makes him seem more...human or relate-able or something.
I always find myself paying a lot of attention to the fact that they speak really differently, with him being sort of informal and gruff and more prone to slang, and her so articulate and, well, British. I always feel like with fanfiction, the dialogue on the show itself doesn't have to be that exact, because you have the actors to say it and therefore it will seem in character because it is literally being said by the character, but with fic, you kind of have to emphasize certain dialogue mannerisms to make it sound like them. And, okay, this is boring and rambly and I don't even know why I am forcing these reflections upon you; mostly I think it's so I can avoid transitioning into Homework Mode! Ughhh, homework.

Anyway. Again, thank you! :D
