OMGFLAIL OF MASSIVE PROPORTIONS

Okay, you know how to press my buttons. Because Boone in Driveshaft? BOONE IN A BAND? *brain fries* Er, we were saying? Ah, you, my darling, are BRILLIANT. Also, kudos to you for making him the drummer, you have one whose favorites are always in the rhythm section *cough* and mm, YES. Oh, we were saying? Right, this was just wonderful. I absolutely loved your take on this scenario and aw, you write Boone so well, my heart hurts from how IC he is here. Because it'd totally be so him to try and be the white knight and not managing it by all means, and I totally died at that part where he thinks that he and Charlie should have been the siblings and not getting Shannon and Liam instead because that was just so spot on. Also, it'd have been way more healthy for the both of them if it did happen, but whatever, that's me trailing off. I just love how Boone basically dealt with his resentfulness of Shannon turning it on Liam because Charlie won't do it. And I just love how Boone's, er, chivalrous instincts were turned on Charlie here, you just have to love the guy for trying to put Charlie in the place he thinks he deserves and utterly failing at that.

And, uh, I LOVED that twist on that Moth scene. And, er, consent issues or not, the sex was seriously some hot stuff *dies* and I really liked that throughout all of it, hot as it might have been, Boone goes and feels like the bad guy. Aw, seriously, it's just something that would happen to him that when he gets what he wants it's screwed up and he can't be fine with it. (Not that I think he'd be fine with it on principle, so kudos for pulling that off so well.)

AND THE ENDING!! *DIES* OMGYES ♥ First of all, thanks for sparing poor Boone the downward spiral of the ads *cough* ;), but seriously, I absolutely loved every word of it. It makes sense that Shannon would bring it up in order to torture the poor guy *shakes head at her* and AWWWW THEY MEET AT THE AIRPORT AND THEY DON'T TAKE THE FLIGHT!! \o/ You should have heard my squealing there. ;) Even though

Charlie doesn't yell at him at all, and Boone hates to think that maybe it's because he's so damn used to being walked over

was seriously so heartbreaking I sniffed, and I loved that you had Boone noticing it. And YES AT THE LAST LINE, you go Boone! ;) Aw, now if only it happened for real, but seriously, thank you so much for this, I utterly loved it. ♥ ♥ ♥
