Hello, here via softlyforgotten. Just wanted to say that this is one of the most gorgeous things I've read in a while. The pictures you painted were crystal clear and just really lovely, and I love the idea of Brendon and Ryan in their 30s trying to work things out; all the old pain and arguments still there but being seen through the eyes of older, more mature and confident men. But at the same time, I love how they can make each other feel like awkward boys again. I thought that was a really nice touch.

Thank you so much, I am beaming like crazy over here. I really wanted to examine their dynamic in this fic, because I think right now it is crazy weird, and I have spent hours with people just gushing. It was really what got me back into writing, so I am so glad it has worked for you.

Exactly. I find that I am even more interested in them now, post-split, than I was when they were in a band together. I suddenly want to read so much Ryan/Brendon!

Me too. I actually have an aftermath of divorce fic in the works, even though I swore after this story I'd be done with writing.

Aww, why would you swear off writing? You're good at it! And we enjoy reading it. :)
