Oh, man.

Seriously. Sorkin? If only, if only he had a brain. There's something so classic about your Jack and your Jordan and I love how you tie the television aspect to classic Hollywood to it.

Brilliant! ILU. ♥

Thank you so much, love! I'm so glad you liked! And for me? Jack Rudolph wanted to be Humphrey Bogart so bad it hurt, haha. Old-school film + Jack/Jordan forever, man, forever.

OMG CHRISSY. I just spent 6 HOURS in the ER with my roommate. She's diabetic, and at like 4:30 I found her comatose in the bathroom, and man, it was a mess. I'm so glad to be home!

Needless to say, October has not been a good month.

ILU.

OMG. ARE YOU OKAY?

Diabetic shock is not fun. Scary as fuck kind of shit. Is she okay?

ILU MUCHLY, BB. OKAY?

[falseeeyelashes]

I'm fine. Emotionally exhausted, lol, and well, physically exhausted, but I'm fine. And she's doing so much better, so it's good.

ILU MUCHLY TOO! And thank you so much, love.

Oh wow. I didn't think you'd write it, lol.

There's something in the way you write these two that makes me almost wish there'd been more play up to them on the show. Certainly would have been interesting.

Great writing as always, hun. How can I be cruel when you and angsty fics are like peas and carrots? :P

[falseeeyelashes]

Haha! The prompt was just nagging me, lol, and I totally had to go with it.

But thank you so much! I had a lot of fun writing it, because like you said: THE ANGST! I live for the angst! And Jack and Jordan? Oh, man, it's what they're all about, lol.

This is so completely gorgeous- you are one of the few writers who can blow me away in less than 500 words - and I am so glad to see you writing Studio60!

It was the tiny moments of this that completely grabbed me, like: He’s running low on cognac.

And questions of belief, and wedding bands, and the differences between Jack and Jordan... *sigh*

Basically, you are awesome, I loved this a lot, it's writers like you who still make me like this show, even when objectively I hate it.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And, I miss our Studio 60 days! Oh, the Jack/Jordan bliss angst!

The small details, the harsh differences, the angst... God, I loved it! You have your own versions of these two, down to little, perfectly in-character quirks S60 didn't run long enough to show us.

Yes. Awesome job. I bow down to your skill.

(also, this makes me want to get back to that Jack/Jordan fic that's been sitting half-finished on my computer for months...)

[falseeeyelashes]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like this!

(You totally should! There's not nearly enough Jack/Jordan out there right now!)
