Oh I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for giving me the drive to write it down.

...there's always room for Misha. ;)

I was expecting it to have a sappy ending, but I was secretely hoping it would end just like this. Thanks :)

I love a sappy ending, most of the time, but it can't work out perfectly every time, can it?

Not that this ending isn't sappy in its own way...

Thanks for the comment!

I love it so much! Love the getting extra cherries so Jensen can steal them and Misha's sex dungeon of guardian ponies (was going to just say 'of ponies' but then it sounded wrong...) and...and... EEEeee!! ^.^!!

Uh, it was supposed to sound kind of wrong...*hides*

gwendolynd January 26 2011, 04:16:28 UTC

Best J2 story I've ever read--totally love your unexpected plot twist!

bree_black January 26 2011, 04:53:55 UTC

Thanks you! That's good news for my J2-writing future. :)

This is still awesome, I really loved it. It's cracky - sort of? But then not really, because I've known people in this situation. Honestly, this is really a lot more insightful than I was expecting from any wee fic. And I know it doesn't end with J24EVAH or whatnot, but it ends the way that it should and that can't help but be a happy ending.

Thanks for the comment and the beta. <3

And yeah, someone said "I haven't read it yet because it looks sad" and I answered "It's actually really happy, for me." I have a thing about endings - I spend way more time on them then the rest of a fic combined, actually - so I'm really glad when they go over well.

mementis January 26 2011, 05:22:46 UTC

and the beta.

It was my first! \o/ (well, in the context of fandom) Still a first though :)

I thought about this and realized I didn't phrase a certain part of it too well:

more insightful than I was expecting from any wee fic

There should have been emphasis on the wee - I meant that it packed a punch in a very specific way in very few words. The Valentine's date night, that note about being on stage and being judged - it could have easily taken 10k words to just say that, but you just... did. It just felt really truthful.

I have a thing about endings - I spend way more time on them then the rest of a fic combined, actually

It shows. But it also shows in the way that your endings tend to just follow naturally, and those kinds of endings (again) to me are the best kind.

I really didn't read this as a sad ending at all.

And I still love it.
