Heart is breaking now! This was so sad and wonderfully Peter. The whole paragraph about pissing off any dieties was lovely: the guilt was palpable! And of course he hasn't left Nathan's side. Just... aw Peter.

"I think I know by now why I let you kiss me." So Nathan.

This was fab.

Oh man, thank you so much! Poor Peter indeed - can't even imagine the guilt he must be feeling about it all, but oh. *tacklehugs him*

And thank you for liking that line! I was so nervous about Nathan in this fic - he can be such a sod to characterise, all that internalisation. They squish me dead in the best of ways!

*helps glue your heart back together* Please don't be brokenhearted! They'll turn out alright in the end. OR HAD BETTER, ANYWAY. *eyes the shows writers*

A nice take on the tension between them.

[emerald_embers]

Thank you very much hon :)! *hug*

Oh man, I just, every time I saw the episode where Peter was in the coma and Nathan was all *stare stare stare* at unconscious Peter, I just melted into goop.

And there is no way in hell Peter would be any less *stare stare stare* over unconscious Nathan XD. Not a chance of it.

Thank you so much for enjoying the fic! *hugs*

Hmm.

Guh?

Not sure where to begin ;)

I read this th'smorning before going to school, but like you, I couldn't think of how to express the awesomeness! Seriously, this is going down in my mems...

I've been too afraid to really tackle post-Powerless fics much, because it's so painful, and certainly this is, but you tackled it beatifully <3

special in every way except the ones that actually mattered

Oh, Pete. Oh, you. Such a perfect line, and definitely a true sentiment.

He'd spent so long trying to stop trusting Nathan that he'd forgotten when he could, and as soon as he'd got the ability back he'd goddamned lost him

Guh, this is just...Right. Trusting Nathan and Nathan's love is like *the* ability, Peter's strongest, and then it just gets taken away...

I love Angela had a talk with Peter - I always thought it was odd and telling that she's so bent on convincing Peter in the first episode that his brother doesn't really love him and there's no connection there...I mean, who says that?

And where any normal big brother

[emerald_embers]

Oh, *woman*, you... I love you. You've just... oh, man, feedback like this makes everything worth it. EVERYTHING. Even a day where I lost my voice and nearly got molested. You rock.

I can't even begin to adore you enough for this feedback, I am so glad that you liked the story, and oh. And I'm glad you liked Peter in it because I always worry about getting him right! Being a big sis, I kind of 'get' Nathan a bit easier, but Peter's such a sweet, half-naive half-streetwise guy that it's hard to nail him down.

And aww, man. I hope the fic doesn't get TOO Jossed because oh, Peter without Nathan would be the saddest thing ever. Like a cherry pie without cherries in it :(.

*snuggle*!
