you guys, i am so obsessed with my brother's dog. she is so awesome. she crawls all up on me and loses interest halfway through chasing down a ball and just wants to kick it with new people. she is winning over my mom, who is the reason we never had pets growing up, and i'm all, great. little late, over here ( Read more... )

I will try to make a more thorough comment after Christmas festivities have died down and I actually have a chance to read it and take it in. That being said, I just flew through it for now, and had tears well up in my eyes...

seriously, holidays throw everything out of whack. you know how awkward it is to be scanning the yuletide fic with my grandma in the room? like, five-squared awkward. anyway, no rush.

yay for cute doggies! panicqueen December 25 2006, 21:26:59 UTC

i only intended to skim this and instead read the entire thing.

it's one of my most favorite things that you've written in the past twelve months. very, very nice job. and yeah, gone on a free agent. that sucks.

Re: yay for cute doggies! candle_beck December 26 2006, 21:17:28 UTC

thanks man! i think maybe most of us are gone on his stupid free agent ass. richie is like, personification of fandom, at this point.

kids who never had pets make me sad. we may have set a world record for pets in my childhood, or at least a fremont record, assuming we never had a crazy cat lady with 57 cats.

i want to see pictures of the puppy! (and your hot brother. no, i didn't say that, don't hit me!)

you know, my mom claimed all throughout my childhood that she was allergic to pets, but come my brother's dog, who's sneaking food under the table? i feel cheated like whoa.

also, DUDE. QUIT CALLING MY BROTHER HOT.

ALSO, DUDE! ZEEEEEETO.

we had three dogs and three cats when i was born. i think i've had pets for all the kids that didn't get to have them.

totally your fault for posting that picture. tell him to stop being hot!

don't make me cry, beck. :'(

dude. this kind of destroyed me in a different way than some of your other stories. softer and meaner at the same time. i can't take zito when he's clean and sad and good, it's too fucking much.

candle_beck February 11 2007, 01:52:27 UTC

seriously. zito's easier to deal with when he's emotionally fourteen and an asshole. what am i supposed to do with the need to put a blanket around him and let him watch road runner all freakin day?

I figured this was only fair, since I requested a remix and everything. There's something about Zito/Harden, this version especially, that calms me from the inside out. Zito's heartbeat-quick impulses, Harden's patient pliability, their little behavioral habits and tics when they're around each other and only each other. I always enjoy stories where location plays a big part, and everything here just sticks in my mind: this small quiet wet island of Harden's, the cold of the offseason making it hard to suddenly spin out of control, so everything that happens happens like a long echoing descent, perfect.

Uh, basically, ( ... )

so, you know i completely feel you on the weirdly soothing nature of the zito/harden pairing. i think what it is is that they both have a couple overarching character traits that follow them into every story, mainly that zito is crazy and co-dependent, and harden is the coolest motherfucker on the planet and never lets shit get to him. so they are like the perfect match.

also, i've never seen that thumbs up hand before! where did you GET that and why aren't people using them left and right? i am as emoticon-less as you will ever see, and i still find that pretty effin' awesome.

Oh man, yes! I'm also such a Richie fangirl from high school, and not even ashamed. Gonna go see him pitch against the Cards on Friday, highlight of my week. :D

Okay, so when you go to the LJ reply page, there should be a smiley face icon right next to the subject box? Click on that and you get a bunch of stuff. I just hotlink from the LJ url since they're, like, permanently hosted. I use thumbs up/thumbs down/gold star a lot, because I'm plebey! ( ... )
