I love Mose so much. And I love that he has a pet mouse (even though I am partial to rats)
Author's Response: Thanks, EmilyHalpert -- I like Mose, too, and I like to think there's something there besides social retardation. :)

This was a thousand shades of awesome. The creepiness of Schrute Farm, Dwight locking up his briefcase, Mose as the lady of the house, but also the little kid with a hidden pet in a box, glad the wicked stepmother won't be around anymore. So Cinderella.
Author's Response: Thanks, BlueBustyGal! Moserella, indeed. Now there's an idea :)

Leave it to you to cull a moment like this from the Angela/Dwight breakup. I admire that ability, since my nickname might as well be Captain Obvious. :) Wonderful job.
Author's Response: You know, I almost called it "Six Degrees of an A Capella Phone Call" because I thought it was interesting that some guy agreeing to do a singing favor for Andy could have happy effects for a mouse on a nearby farm. Thanks, Krissy :)

This was amazing. I mean, the images it created in my head of Schrute farm...totally creepy. As I imagine it would be. :) But the Schrute boys banter, absolutely hilarious! Fantastic job, nomadshan!
Author's Response: Thanks, tessa mae -- I'm glad to hear it was somewhat visual -- I like sensory stories best :)

Oh I really enjoyed this glimpse into Mose's head, and into Dwight and Mose's home.
Author's Response: Thanks, Puff!

That was hilarious and exactly how a night with Mose and Dwight would be. Too bizarre and too funny. I love that Dwight puts his briefcase in a safe. Perfection!
Author's Response:
I guess we'll be finding out soon enough what it's like to spend a night with them! Thanks, desert island :)

Ha! Very sweet, how weird Mose is trying so hard to be good to Dwight.
Author's Response: Thanks, Lis :)

Ugh, I am never eating dinner at the Schrute's. I love the chimera napkin and complete freakish look into the Schrute lives. It would not suprise me at all to find that Mose and Angela disliked each other and were constantly completing for Dwight's attention. Very well done!
Author's Response: What -- you don't care for liver soufflé? Thanks, feared_or_loved :)

Another winner, nomadshan!
Your characterizations are perfect and the story details excel. Poor Dwight, crying alone in the bathroom under the porch, locking his briefcase up, and listening to Abba, of all things, immediately after his rival used a song by the same band to woo Angela.
And Mose, the "artsy" one, folding and refolding the napkins into various shapes. Of course he would dislike Angela's presence at their house and be secretly relieved about the break up.
So nice to get a new story from you. Hope you write more soon!
Author's Response: I love thinking of Mose as the underappreciated artiste on the farm, almost the lady of the house. And that Dwight had a history with ABBA, making Andy's move that much more debilitating to Dwight. Thanks, Everybody Hurts :)

i loooove this! and it makes total sense that the schrutes take iron very seriously. this is great.
Author's Response: You know they're all about their vitamins + minerals! Thanks, Emilys List :)

This was all kinds of amazing! Wow... let me just take a second to get my head around the awesome here... :)
First of all, you had me at the rich aroma wrapping around like a quilt. But you didn't stop there. You kept pummeling me with that hilarious German phrase (I guess studying German in college finally paid off!); the folding of napkins into chimerae; the horrifyingly tender image of Dwight singing along to "Fernando"; Matthias, the friendly mouse.
And why does that last image remind me of Mr. Jangles from "The Green Mile?" :P
Fabulous story.
Author's Response: See? College does eventually come in handy :) Thanks, Cousin Mose!

Oh, my god, this is hysterical! I love your descriptions and the way everything in that house is just a little...odd. Is Dwight's breakup song "Fernando" by ABBA? If so, then that's amaaazing!
Truly a wonderful story, I love it!
Author's Response: I like picturing their home as a weird mix of the old (wood-fired oven/stove, phonograph) and new (tv, etc). And yes, it's Fernando. Thanks, McGigi :)

Looove this, with the perfect outsider's perspective, with Mose and his pet mouse, both secretly glad to be done with Angela and her cats! Great dialogue and wonderful idea. This was a real treat.

Wow, this was amazing! I love your take on Mose! All the little details totally made this fic pure awesomeness. And I actually felt my heart break for Dwight during his little conversation with Mose. Oh, poor Dwight. I love that he has a breakup song. And I love that Mose was happy that Angela is gone. Excellent descriptions and setting up the mood. This fic was wonderful, I loved it!
Author's Response: I figured if he had a pump-up song, he must have a breakup song :) Thanks, firthgal!

Oh this is wonderful! Every detail so perfectly captured-- the description of Dwight's stubble as what they had to put down that one dog for, He folded the napkins into swans, then dragons, then chimerae...His eyeballs were pink and shiny, like that time Buffy dove into the Hellmouth. "Pass the beetabagas."
I just could not stop laughing. And of course Mose has a mouse for a pet. Hilarious! Thanks so much for this glimpse of Chez Schrute.
Author's Response: This one was fun to write. Thanks, NEJ :)
