...apparently this is my subgenre of choice. Whee! Also, check out the icon strangecobwebs made me just for this story! She also betaed, as did the fantabulous missmollyetc, and iuliamentis was her usual terribly patient self while I lost my mind over this. Thank you all!

Oh, jeez, that one's really nice. I like that a lot, a very genuine-feeling Gerard POV. I loved that I, along with Gerard, had absolutely no idea what Bob was going to say either, and then he did and it was so perfect.

"That's your beat, right there," Bob says. "Hold on to that. You singers always get lost without somebody to give you the beat."

Yeah, I really liked that. In general, this ficlet says so much about both characters and their relationship in that moment, a little awkward, but solid and getting closer all the time, and you can see what it was and what it'll turn into.

Thank you! I'm starting to feel like I have a handle on Gerard's voice, and my love for him and for Bob knows NO BOUNDS. So this was a lot of fun to write, and I'm glad you liked it!

Oh wow. This is amazing. I am really fond of your subgenre of choice.

dsudis May 31 2007, 02:01:46 UTC

Thank you! I am pretty happy with it myself. :)

Bob! Oh, Bob. I loved every word -- I felt like I was there-- but this stood out:

Being on stage in front of Bob is just... sound check.

YAY.

Yaaay! I am so glad you liked this! And, yes, BOB!

*gathers you up in a bucket*

*hands you over to Gerard for resurrection*

Thank you! I'll try :)

oh, GERARD. And BOB. And oh, man. See, okay, I've got this thing where I know too much about MCR to read much fic about them--if it's at all off, or if the writer makes too much stuff up, it rings too false for me to read it. But you--this could totally have happened. I believe it wholly, right now. And you are making me love Bob so much.

And oh, GERARD.

dsudis May 31 2007, 02:19:20 UTC

Eeeeee, yay, I'm so glad you liked this!

...Also, if you didn't notice, I am not going tell you about how this probably doesn't fit into the timeline of actual events. By the time I figured it out, it would have meant ripping out and reconfiguring half the story, so I tell myself it's just mildly AU. *g*

frostfire_17 May 31 2007, 05:35:26 UTC

No, but see! You have me IGNORING REAL EVENTS. *hearts*
